1st Prize

Draw

Both pawns are detained, but the black pawn will cost white a piece sooner or later... 1. Nf3! To deal with a pawn it is necessary to oblige her to turn into a queen! 1... h1=Q 2. Nd2+ Kg1 3. Bxh1! Difficult choice. But to leave on a board a bishop - means to die: (3. Nf3+? Qxf3+! 4. Bxf3 Bxf5 -+) 3... Kxh1

Logical try: 4. Ne4? Nd5+ (4... Bxf5? 5. Ng3+ =) 5. Kd4 Nxc7 6. Ke5 Ne8! (6... Bg8? 7. Kf6 Ba2 8. Nd6! =) 7. Ke6 Ng7+! 8. Kf6 Nxf5!

9. Ng5 Bg6 10. Ne6 Nd6! 11. Kg7 Ndf7 -+, and black pieces are located comfortably in the top right corner

Solution: 4. Kf4!! Other moves of the king are easily disproved: 4. Ke4? Nf7 -+; or 4. Kd4? Bxf5 -+ 4... Nd5+ (4... Nf7 5. Ne4! Nd5+ 6. Kg4! Nxc7 7. Nf6 =, and the bishop is caught) 5. Ke5! (5. Kg5? Nf7+! -+) 5... Nxc7 6. Kf6! (It is senseless to attack a knight c7: 6. Kd6? Nb5+! 7. Ke6 Bg8+ -+) 6... Ne8+ 7. Ke7 Amusing route of the white king on e3-f4-e5-f6 as "snake"! 7... Ng7 8. Kf6 Nh5+ 9. Kg5! Ng3 10. Kf6 Nxf5 (After 10... Bxf5 11. Nf1! black remains with two useless knights.)

Just a moment! We see the same position from logical try with one more tempo for black (the knight there already stood on e4!). An, no! 11. Nf3!! Here it, the sweet field for a knight with a high, juicy grass in the form of three black pieces! 11... Bg6! 12. Ne5 Bh7 13. Nf3 Kg2 And what else? It is necessary to go... 14. Ng5 Bg6 15. Ne6! Oops! It was so pleasant to the black king in h1 corner (see logical try 4.Ne4)! And here the poor king was enticed on g2... 15... Kf3 (15... Nd6 16. Nf4+! = the fork trapped suddenly (or 16. Kg7 Ndf7 17. Nf4+ =)) 16. Nf8! = The poor bishop is caught!

8. Qc6+!! Correct "removal from a cross"! (2nd logical try: 8. Qf6+? Rxf6! 9. Rxe3+ Kxe3 10. g8=Q Rf1#) 8... Kf2! (8... Rxc6 9. Rxe3+ Kxe3 10. g8=Q +-) 9. Qg2+! (9. Rxd6?? Qe1#) 9... Kxg2 10. g8=Q+ Kh3! Protection of black is based on win white rook d6 after capture black rook. (So, badly 10... Kh1 11. Qa8+ Kg1 12. Rxd6 +-) 11. Qh8+! And a problem of white - to force black to take also the second pawn "h". (Early 11. Rxd6? Qf3+ 12. Kc1 Qc3+ =; 11. Qh7+? Kg4! 12. h3+ Kg3! -+) 11... Kg2! (11... Kg4 12. h3+! Kg3 13. Qe5+! +-) 12. Qg7+! (No progress after 12. Qa8+ Kh3!, because 13. Qh1?? is not check) 12... Kxh2 It is necessary. (12... Kh3 13. Rxd6 Qf3+ 14. Kc1! Qf1+ 15. Rd1! +-) 13. Qh8+! The pawn of h2 is destroyed, and white realize the plan. (13. Rxd6? Qf3+ 14. Kc1 Qf1+! 15. Kb2 Qf2+ 16. Ka3 Qc5+ =) 13... Kg2 (13... Kg3 14. Qe5+! +-; 13... Qh6 14. Qe5+! +-; 13... Kg1 14.
