 (12/1/07) Puzzle of the day: Pawn promotionThis position is white to move and win. I really like this puzzle because it shows that rook pawn and wrong colored bishop is not always a draw.

seeing as positions like this generally follow "principles" rather than concreate variations, I'll post my thoughts annotated -- least that way, even if the moves are wrong, you can see if I got the "idea" of it.

Nice work! Your second move is the key idea that I really like about this position.

Well, true. But the second one is prettier.
