Well done, both of you! In hopes of keeping you entertained, here's another interesting problem I stumbled across:

[fen]8/1pp2p1p/5P1P/pP5P/pP3P1P/p7/P7/8[/fen]

White to play and win (Losers' Chess rules).

The object, in Losers o work out initially, but quick to solve once inspiration strikes.

well if it is white to play he has to play bxa-pawn:

1.bxa b6 2.axb cxb f5 black stalemated and wins?

Edit: oh I missed en passant!! well the it is too hard for me

Yes, e.p. is possible, because Black's last move had to be ...a7-a5. It could not have been ...a7-a6?? because he would have been obligated to take the b-pawn.
