I didn't solve it, partly because it is far too easy to look at the answer when it is an inch below the diagram. I don't know if I could have gotten it otherwise.

I looked at Qe1 and it didn't seem promissing. Don´t remember what my second move was though..

Originally posted by cmsMasterI thought of Qe1 but couldn't find the continuation so I edited my post to say never mind because I thought it was stupid. My Idea was to get an extra move because black could not promote and check at the same time. but I do not take any credit at all because I could not find the rest.
Yeah, like I said, that second move took some thought too.
Congrats!
