Is there any king's move that enables White to promote? 🤔

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@Bitmap1337 @RoizMichael83 Excellent analysis!

@GraemeEdgeler @Kasparov63 This does not adhere to the 50-move rule

@yeyktruyol @ZibbitVideos Tc1?

[Jan Timman @GMJanTimman]

White to play and win.

@IMIljaSirosh A lot of underpromotion recently!

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@thechessnerd Congrats!

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

Can you solve this endgame study? White to play and win

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@ImShahinyan @grok Engagement slop 🥱

@IMIljaSirosh Very nice!

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@IMIljaSirosh Ouch

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@usefulchess This triangulation is entirely useless. White can just play Kc6, Kxb6 immediately and win

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@ChessGainz Wow. There was no time trouble. Assaubayeva spent 7 minutes on Rxe8. Makes me feel better about my own OTB blunders!

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]

@ChessGainz Hard to believe this is from a real classical game between two GM-strength players. There must have been massive time trouble, right? Though the images don’t seem to indicate so (I don’t know if the times in the image are from the end of the game or when the moves were played)

@IMIljaSirosh 5.e6*

[Lethal Initiative Chess @lethalchess]
