HintSolution

I love this small problem, because it is so clear and beautiful. When I solved this position the first time, I had no problems queening the pawn, and I thought that this was all. Later I learned that this position is not that easy at all.

The EPD for this problem is: 8/8/1KP5/3r4/8/8/8/k7 w - -
