This is one of those unusual and unbalanced endgame positions. It is White to move. How can White win? There is only one winning solution. Everything else would result in a draw. Have fun and try not to use the computer 🙂

This is one really cool puzzle.
I love the solution along with all the wrong answers. Actually I think I enjoy the wrong answers more than the solution.

Hi,
what about…
1. Qe4 Kb2 (if Qxh5 2. Qxc2)
2. Qce5+ Kb1 (if Ka2 3. Qxa4+)
3. Qc3
now Black can’t move anymore,
there is no check and the pawns can’t reach the first line.
White’s pawn on the h-line can go for the third Queen.
Hope that’s not too bad.
Peter
… one mistake
If 1. Qxh5
2. Qe1+ Kb2
3. Qcc3+ and so on
