I'm not saying this was difficult, but it was the most complex puzzle that I managed to solve correctly. My play hasn't improved, I'm simply beginning to recognize various elements to the puzzles. Once these elements are identified, I'm able to form a strategy. Lack of difficulty aside, finding the solution is a satisfying feeling. I'm now ready to conquer the day.
The answer seemed intuitive before going through it: King up first to block pawn, then c pawn up for queen to be closer to center for maximum damage. Glad it worked out!
Excellent excellent end game puzzle. I completely enjoyed the thought process in all variations. Simply hats off to you to get the puzzle, then analyze and then give such a detailed explanation every single day for every single puzzle. Thank you very much and God bless you.

Yes, that is the correct response to black starting with Kh4. Black to Kh6 is the same result. If they move their tripled pawn instead, then white needs to be trickier.
Gives the white queen a chance to kill the black pawn before/right after it promotes. The other black pawns are all stuck, so it delays the inevitable. It's three stacked and trapped pawns vs a queen and king. You can delay checkmate, but you can't stop it.

So deceptively tricky, wonderful study, thanks.

Kg2 just seemed like the only natural move to start.
I agree.
I like this and your explanations very much! This is very interesting today! 😃
Very nice!
Yay the first one i got right
I did solve it, but it took me a hot minute.

The right pawn was sometimes the left pawn !!!!!!! COOL
Useful
I saw the solution, luckily before opening the video, because it was spoiled in the first visible comment😊
شكرا🎉❤
What if they moved the last tripled pawn instead of running to promotion?
Then we will be queen up, because then we can take the not promoted pawn.
We queen first, so if they move a tripled pawn or their king, white goes Qc8, capturing the pawn whether it promotes or not.
Kg2 kh4
c5. pxc5
a5 ….
Is it correct??

What if black does not promote but move K to h7 or g7?

We queen before they do, so even one move to prevent checkmate will result in white Qc8, so their c file pawn is doomed (and we have a queen.)
Sooo beautiful
1)Kg2 -- Kh6; 2) c5 -- b x c;3) a5-- c4;4)a6 -- c3;5)a7 -- c2; 6) a8 Queen -- c1 Queen; 7) Qh8 ch mate or 1)Kg2 -- g3; 2) a5 -- b x a ; 3) c5 -- a4; 4)c6 -- a3; 5) c7 -- a2; 6) c8Queen -- a1 Queen; 7) Qh3 ch mate. So white by gaining a tempo wins
Thank you for spoiling so well
