can black win a piece somehow?
i only see 1...h4, and after 2. g3 h3, white cannot move (his rooks or king), black brings the king to queens wing and wins
after 2. anything, black comes with g-pawn to g4, then plays h3.

are on one side facing each other and the queens facing each other.
So that side of the board from the queen to the left side rook is
the Queens' side or wing and likewise the half of the board from the
king to its side rook is the Kings side or wing.
h4 is the algebraic notation of where the pieces move. You must have
seen this in the history of your own games. It shows all the moves
in A1 to H8 notation. Its much much better than the old english
notation of pawn to queens 4 and so forth. That system sucked
bigtime.
Nice pic in your profile BTW. What state are you in, well besides the
state of confusion!?

Originally posted by crazyblueAs you point out, White can't move his Rooks or King after 1...h4 2.g3 h3. Therefore, just shuffle the black King until White exhausts his pawn moves. Simple as that.

EDIT: Just to be thorough, shuffle the bK in a manner that allows no possibility of cheap back-rank mates (e.g. wPg6 and bKh8).

I'm impressed. The first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one.
This "puzzle" has me stumped, as most on this site do. What exactly are you looking for, a series of moves for black to win?

Judging by the looks of it that is pretty much what the original poster intended as a solution: a continuation that would inevitably grant sufficient material advantage for Black and ensure a win.

I hope you enjoy it here. 😀 😉
