Hallo,
1. Nd4+ Nxd4
2. h6 … and win
Peter
And how does white secure the point after
2 … a4
3. h7 a3
4. h8=Q a2
5. ?
It’s got to be a draw; after, for example
5. Kc2 Qa8
6. Kb2 Qxb7+
7. Nb3 Qxf7
White will trade his queen for the black pawns, and Black’s knight will stop the white pawn.
Sorry for screwing up the line; let me try this again.
5. Qa8 Kb2
6. Qxb7+ Nb3
7. Qxf7 etc.
I don’t see a win. My analysis went:
1. Nd4+ Nxd4
2. h6 a4
3. h7 a3
4. h8=Q a2
5. Qa8 Kb2
6. Qxb7 Nb3
7. Qa7 a1=Q
8. Qxa1 Nxa1
9. Ke3 draw

5. Qa8 Kb2
6. Qxb7+ Nb3

Should end up drawing by insufficient material
