{The theme of the competition was a figure game logically connected to the
resulting pawn ending.} 1. Kc2 b1=Q+ $1 (1... Nxc3 $1 2. Kxb2 {and as in the
main variation}) 2. Kxb1 Nxc3+ (2... hxg3 3. Bxg3+) 3. Kb2! ({It would be
wrong:} 3. Kc2 $2 Ne2 4. Nh1 Nxf4 5. exf4 Kf1 6. b5 Kg2 7. b6 Kxh1 8. b7 Kg1 9.
b8=Q h1=Q 10. Qb1+ Kg2 11. Qxh1+ Kxh1 12. c5 h3 13. c6 h2 14. c7 Kg1 $1 15. c8=Q
h1=Q 16. Qc5+ Kf1 $11) 3... Ne2! 4. Nh1 Nxf4 5. exf4 ({White have to immediately
capture Black knight, otherwise after:} 5. b5 $2 Nd3+ $1 6. Kc3 Nf2 7. b6 Nxh1
8. b7 Nf2 9. b8=Q h1=Q {Black even are winning}) 5... Kf1 6. c5 $1 ({It would be
wrong:} 6. b5 $2 Kg2 7. b6 Kxh1 8. b7 Kg1 9. b8=Q h1=Q 10. Qa7+ Kh2 $1 (10...
Kg2 $2 11. Qb7+ $18) 11. Qf2+ Qg2 12. Qxg2+ Kxg2 $11) 6... Kg2 7. c6 Kxh1 8. c7
Kg1 9. c8=Q h1=Q 10. Qc1+ {Only the exchange of queens gives White a chance for
the win.} 10... Kh2 11. Qxh1+ Kxh1 12. b5 h3 13. b6 h2 14. b7 Kg1 15. b8=Q h1=Q
16. Qa7+ {Only now it can be seen the meaning of the move 3. Kb2; after 3. Kc2?
White would first have to move pawn b (so that to be able to exchange queens in
11-th move by 10. Qb1+) and only then pawn c, and after 16. Qc5+ Kf1 the
subsequent exchange of queens would not be possible.} 16... Kf1 17. Qa1+ Kg2 18.
Qxh1+ Kxh1 19. f5 h5 20. f6 h4 21. f7 h3 22. f8=Q h2 {It is now apparent why it
was necessary to promote the f pawn as the last; At queen's position on b8 or
c8, there is a theoretically drawish ending. But now White can mate.} 23. Qf1#
