Block the king first: 1. e6, fxe6, and now the black king cannot march directly to stop white’s c-pawn.
If black does not take the e-pawn, then just march up to e8.
Very illustrative, Susan.

First Idea I considered as well….though still…it’s a usefull tactic to keep in mind.
Thanks Susan

eMs Polgar
fileds( news, games and..) the best!i have a problem ,i cant see the picture whom r saved in bp1,bp2,bp3,..in blogger,i just can see them that r saved in bp0, why i dont know? can At first,i am thankful for ur excelent weblog,it is in all u solve this or any suggestion?
I think the only move is e6. All others loose for white.
1…f7xe6
2.c4-c5 e6-e5
3.c5-c6 Kg4-f3
4.c6-c7 e5-e4
5.c7-c8Q e4-e3
after this it’s all over.
This only took me 45 min’s to get to move 5. Crazy, I need soo much help!
Didnt take more than 20 seconds to spot e6 !!.
White plays e6, black is forced to play fxe6 which blocks the king from stopping the other pawn. Then white moves the c-pawn and black king is blocked by its own pawn.
e6 of course
