Can you find the best move if it's White's turn or if it's Black's turn?(Explanation and answer below the photo)I like this chess problem because at first glance White appears to be struggling to hold on for a draw or stalemate, however White has a great move. The fact is, he's certainly not in any danger of holding on for the draw because the knight can move to the C3 square at any point and capture the black pawn whenever it advances to a2. (if Black's pawn is captured, it's automatically declared a draw, due to no checkmating pieces left).Here White can actually CHECKMATE Black and win with just a knight with the move Kc2! Here is a full explanation from Page 84 of Silman's Endgame Course where this chess endgame challenge comes from.
