    1 b5! should win. 1…cb5 2 cb5 kd6 3 kf5 and white will queen a pawn two tempi before black by my calculation. 1…c5? 2a4 is even simpler for White.

    1 b5! white wins thanks to the extra tempi afforded by the a4 pawn.

    Would a4 a6 first help? Then it’s the famous 3 vs 3 and b5 should then win?
