Queen against a pawn on the seventh
White to move and win.
A queen beats a centre pawn one step from promotion, even with your king far away. Force the enemy king in front of its pawn, and use the time.
The idea
- Check and pin until the enemy king has to stand in front of its pawn.
- Each time that happens you gain one move for your king.
- Repeat until your king is close, then capture the pawn or give mate.
