Go up one level in this thread


I didn't analyse it with a chess program, but the basic Idea is that all pieces
are blocked, and

a. white should promote his pawn ( which is possible)
b. black should try to grab the pawn on the second rank.

White should take the opposition and keep the black king far enough from the g2
pawn to promote. At the time that will happen white can let the black king run
to the corner, promoting to queen and cover the g2 piece. With some thoughtfull
shuffling the king shouldn't be stalemated but mated in the corner
