White to move
Be first to promote one of your pawns
(I know that it is illegal but play from both sides, don't play really badly for either side)
Give your answer in Algebraic Notation
(1. c6 bxc6 2. ...)
Answer on 19/9/20
Solution (There are multiple variations, but if played properly, white always wins.
1. b6 cxb6
2. a6 bxa6
3. c6 and it doesn't matter what black does white will promote their pawn first.
That is correct.
I don't know what algebraic expression for chess is... but basically, you move the middle one and then once its taken (say, by the right hand side pawn), advance the pawn on the other side (the left one, in this case). After that, you win...
