Well, that doesn't help much. Does the solution start with a Black move?

Well, ok, there is still 1... Kg6 but you would find that one too.

Anyway, apparently again too easy 🙁

And there are so many threads I thought I would spare some bandwith 😉

so, SOLVED!, back to the drawing board, I am going to make one you cant solve 😀

1...Kg6 doesn't matter right?
