          • Post 1356 Key move 1.h8=N, Kxg8 2.Ne6, Kh7 3.g6+, Kg8 4.Nh6 mate. if 1...a4 2.Nh6, a3 3.Ng6 mate or 1.h8=N, Kxg8 2.Ne6, a4 3.g6, a3 4.Nh6 mate. For those interested I saw the theme
            of problem 1355 and wondered if I could find a solution if pawn promoted to knight. I tinkered with the position and moved the bishop to f6, added a white pawn on g5, a black pawn on a5 and voila!

                      Post 1385 Key move 1.b5 All of these last five problems will end up being some of my all time favourites. The zugzwang moves are very subtle.
