Answer To Online Chess Endgame Puzzle #46

The answer is for black to play K-b6. White has a choice to make a useless move with his queen or postpone checkmate for a while with K-c8. However, playing K-c8 drops the queen when black plays R-h8 and it’s an easy win from there.

The answer is for black to play B-d5. White is virtually forced to play Kxd5, then black queens his pawn on h1. If white queens his pawn on a8 he loses to K-f2 check.  Any other move by white instead of queening the pawn and black simply picks up the lone white pawn.
