After a drought I finally won 1st prize again with this study from ChessStar 2022. White to move and draw.

The opening move´s sole purpose is to open the g-file for the rook to reach g1 in the end!

In the meantime some weirdities has occurred. https://t.co/2NTk9qyXfe

White draws only by 1. g4!

But why?

A) A future stalemate
B) The bishop is deflected from g2/f1
C) White needs the g3 square in the future
D) The Black bishop will we exposed on g4 in the future

Today is tuesday, so here is an easy one. Black just played the rather annoying 1...Qh7-h4. How to proceed?

What a nightmare!

I spend some 45 minutes yesterday as the ISC-tournament trying to solve this 2-mover by Pavel Murashev!

Please improve on my performance. https://t.co/j7LcORbGFY
