Kb3 2. h4 Kxc3 3. Ne4+ Position X 3... Kd3 Unlike in the 1st thematic try, the black king had no access to the d2 square so moving to d3 is the only option. 4. Nxf2+ Check! 4... Ke2 4... Ke3 5.

A wonderful work. A bit better version is added to "In search of beauty".
The version moves knight to h6, black pawn to f3 and black king to a4. And now: the try: 1. Ng4? Kb3 2. h4 Kxc3 = and the paradoxical two-move key (1.Nh6->f5->g3!!) moves two pieces - the white knight and the black pawn ("f3") - downwards in relation to the try 1.Ng4? .Paradoxically, when the black pawn is closest to promotion, the white knight is able to fight more effectively. A work of art!
