    To see the solution: drag the mouse from here...
    Solution:
    1. f3
    the only move 1. ......, exf3 2. Kf1! f2 3. e4 dxe4
    4. Kxf2 e3+ 5. Ke1! e2 6. d5 cxd5
    7. Kxe2 d4 8. Kd2! d3 9. c6 bxc6
    10. Kxd3 Kb7 11. Kd4 Ka8 12. Kc5 Kb7
    13. Kd6 Ka8 14. Kc7!

    If black plays his c-pawn instead of 10. ......., Kb7, you can take the c-pawn, move your king to c5, promote your a-pawn (Kxa8) and play Kc6!
