White has an amazing game plan to win this position but it´s very hard to see, at least the full solution. Give it a try!
The composer is Mario Matous and this puzzle was published in 1975.

Excellent as always!
Composer was Mario Matous, composed in 1975. This is one of my all time favorite endgames.
Thank you for info! I will update the description right away.
It is a shortend variant of Mario Matous' original position which is a mate in 13. It is/was a great test position for computer programs.
I'm going to try solving THIS one? No way! Most of the times I can’t even solve the easier ones…
I'm hoping it beats Stockfish : it would only solve it by brute force.
Highly enjoyable puzzle! [chess is hArD]
Brilliant! I didn't even try;)
Nuts.
In last position (and some before) for Black: Why not move Qf8 and wait for the white king to open the check ? Then moving Qg7 and block the check and win after Bg7+ ... or wait for the draw ?
White has an awesome win after that. After Qg7 white simply plays f8 and promote! Most beautiful is to promote to a rook of course. Checkmate right away since blacks queen is pinned.
@@Chess-strategy Yep, Sir, thank You for that clearance ;) Truly sure. Was maybe too fast but anyway have overlooked the easy way ;) Great puzzle indeed ;)
This is literally THE most complex puzzle I've ever seen. I seriously doubt any Grandmasters could see this win....What about Stockfish?, can it see the winning sequence?
I believe I found a solution beginning with pxph, check, king h8, queen check but king simply goes to h6, BUT I am sure it is a mistake. No time , no brain power to research this "soilution" beyond many more moves. I did it 3 or 4 more, but probably I missed something Great place, pal
I see a draw if black queen keeps attacking the white Bishop.
If the queen moves to attack the bishop, white just moves their king, forcing the queen to take the bishop, allowing white's pawn to promote and win.
Solved from beginning, but I did need some time i think 15 min but I am not GM not even FM only 2200 elo and now even a bit below
Forgot to say i really like this one
white plays pawn takes h7 , black moves to h8 white then plays Qc3 , will win for white -- does it not ???
No, only a draw after Qe6+, Kg5+, Kxh7 according to chess engine
why can the Q not move to f8 from c5 instead of moving the pawn a the a?
because of: Kf5 Qg7, f8D#
Hmmm, other black moves😮
Mario Matous was an endgame study genius. He made impressive studies. - In a time, where computer engines were by far not so good
Bc7 if qxc8; bxf7+ kh8 (if kf8 then Bd6#); Be5 qc6+; Kd7+ Qf6; Bxf6# or if after Be5 qf8; Ke6+ Qg7; f8(Q)# and if after Bc7 nxb7; gxf7+ kh8; Qxe8#
Right so far but the really hard part start after black plays Qc5 after white play Be5.
@@Chess-strategy had to cut my analysis... Chess and marriage don't mix well 😄😄😄😄😄
I got 2200 elo and solved it in 3 min.
