First Move:White Kd6
I wouldnt move Kd6, I would (at a quick glance) advance the f-pawn.
I don't really see the problem.

There's no problem. White is winning. However, 1.Kd6 is a faster win than 1.f7. The poster has been told several times to give stipulations for his problems, but he refuses to listen.

Oops. I just noticed that nareen indeed gave the stipulation. I apologize to him for my comments.

In this case, he didn't say if its a problem, a study, a helpmate, or anything. He's just asking for help. Help to do what? To see if Kd7 is the best move? If he already knows the answer, why is he asking for help at all? I don't get it. Perhaps I'd just ignore him and this thread...

Only an hour later than his first posting. Half an hour after my first posting.
Until then there was only a plead for help with no stipulations at all.

Yes, I know. I can see the times. But I have to give him credit for remembering to add it.

my guess is that this was a position in his/her game, but i could not prove that since its game is not public...haha. It explains the stipulations and the variations because it didnt expect the other player to play the best moves....but what do i know?

Unlikely I'd think. He/she does give a first move and the positions themselves are, even without the quick mate possible, pretty trivial wins for white on the whole.
