15:50 Puzzle of today has a lot of winning moves. I choose simple b7+. If Kb8 we play a7+ forcing a king to take and we play Kc7 to premote. If instead Ka7 is played. We will run our king to c8 and advance our pawn

1. b7+ If Kb8 then the follow up is: 2. Kd7 Ka7 3. Kc7 Kxa6 4. b8=Q 1. b7+ If Ka7 then the follow up is: 2. Kc7 Kxa6 3. b8=Q Was kinda hard to visualise the Ka7 solution. But if you move any other first move then its a stalemate.
Solution 1: 1.b7+ kb8 2.a7+ kxa7 3.kc7 ka6 4.b8=Q ka5 5.Qb3 ka6 6.Qb6# Solution 2: 1.kd7 kb8 2. b7 ka7 3. Kc8 kxa6 4. b8=Q Solution 1 is faster and more forcing but both seems to be valid to me. Idk if there are any more ways to win. Edit: my bad. Solution 2 transposes to same lines as solution 1 if white plays kc7 in move 3 instead of kc8. Both solutions are actually equally forcing 😅

For us amateurs, that rule about just moving one of the pawns is genius.
It's much more informative than winning in x moves and opening traps! Keep it up!!

1. b7+
If Ka7 then the follow up is:
2. Kc7 Kxa6
3. b8=Q
Was kinda hard to visualise the Ka7 solution.
But if you move any other first move then its a stalemate.

Solution 2:

Solution 1 is faster and more forcing but both seems to be valid to me. Idk if there are any more ways to win.
Edit: my bad. Solution 2 transposes to same lines as solution 1 if white plays kc7 in move 3 instead of kc8. Both solutions are actually equally forcing 😅
What about king triangulation?

b7+. If Ka7 Kc7 Kxa6 b8=Q and White easily wins. If Kb8 a7+ Kxa7 Kc7 Ka6 b8=Q and again an easy win for White.
