Many years ago I composed the following study: 8/8/3k3P/b4K2/8/8/8/5N2 w - - 0 1 According to my analysis, it is a win for white. My main line was 1. Ne3 Ke7 2. Kg6 Kf8 3. Nd5 Kg8 4. h7+ Kh8 5. Ne7 and mate in three more moves (this last move was the motiv I was trying to exploit, it is the longest forced mate with this material, the black bishop on dark squares the white king in g6, the white pawn in h7 and the black king in h8). Unfortunately, 4. Nf6+ Kh8 5. Ne4 is also a win for white, for this reason I did not submit this position for publication. I do not remember exactly why other first moves do not win, and how does white win after 1... Bc3. Could somebody with tablebases please confirm the following? -It is a win for white. -The only winning move is 1. Ne3 -The main line I posted is correct. Thanks in advance. Any supplementary analysis is also appreciated.
