I saw which piece to move first and some of the other tactic, but working out why one first square was better than another took a bit longer. That delay actually helped. This game is so beyond me 😂
I’m such a genius, I got this within 10 seconds. …, Kg8; Qa7, Bd4; queen can’t take so Qb8, Bb7 Grab the queen or the C pawn next move. Then I watch your video and see I failed to notice KxP. Oh dear. So Bc6 wins ok. Then I watch the rest of your video. Oh. It’s complicated. No way I would see all that up front. Your videos are such fun, please keep them up.
I solved it. The first few moves were the easy part. The hard part was avoiding the draw after we promote our queen. I finally saw that Qb8+ didn't allow the Black Queen to block us.
I got Kg8 Qa7, Bd4 Qb8 line, but couldn’t calculate the Qxd4 line. It seemed winning but I couldn’t calculate all the options. Did not understand the goal was to trade queens away from other pawn.
Yes, which is why the Queen going back to the B8 square would be a blunder for black. Black is forced to capture the Bishop and allow a queen promotion. Otherwise going to Qb8 would eventually lead to a zuzvang with the loss of black's queen unavoidable.
In this one, preventing a draw is as fun as getting the win.

Yeah, see my comment above!
I have to admit that had I been faced with this in a real game I'd have settled for the early draw by repetition.
Im so happy I was able to solve this. Took awhile but I was happy to do so

The subtle trick I didn't see till the end was the white king able to hide behind the f7 pawn. Very nice.
A remarkable study. Thank you.

With so few starting options, this one was not too difficult to figure out.
I had mate in two using the king to f8 it was covered with the pawn
This was an easy puzzle .
I got it straight away.
I saw more or less everything, I didn't explore some lines but I would say, more or less solved 😊
a good one
Saw it
