How about 1 Be3 a5 (1…Qxe3 2 Ng4+) 2 Kd7 a4 3 Bxg5+ Kxg5 4 Ke6 a3
5 Ne4+ Kh6 6 Nc3 Kg7 7 Ke7 wins.
Isn’t 1. Be3 a5 2. Ng4+ easier?
Maybe I am wrong somewhere.
”Isn’t 1. Be3 a5 2. Ng4+ easier?”
The Knight is pinned (!?)
1. be3 qxe3 2. ng4 kg7 3. nxe3 kf6
where is the win? e.g. 4. kc7 a5 6. kc6 a4 7. kc5 a3 8. kd4 a2 9. nd5 kf7 white is one tempo short
oh… 9. nc2 of course

7.Kd5 (not 7.Kc5? =)
7…a3
8.Ke4 a2
9.Nc2 White wins.

1.Ng4 is not possible: The knight is pinned.
P.S. Why does the FEN start with move number 5?
