promotion

i liked that the 2 pawns were on the 7th rank on the board,and i moved all my pieces except promoting a pawn in the process of this puzzle . Whoever made this puzzle is part genius part artist.

Great puzzle!

I know I must have seen this before (at least it looked familiar). Tried to solve it last night, but decided I was too tired. I saw the idea, but after 1. bxa8=R Kxg2, Black will capture on a7 once the rook moves. I was about to give up just now, but realized I hadn't tried the knight under-promotion! I would rate this about 4 stars, but it felt more like 5!

can also choose rook for pawn

You can also solve the puzzle in 3 with rook for the pawn.

i don't think rook works because bxa7 since you can't shield it
