Nov-26-23  mel gibson: Pretty easy.
I don't think I need to do a Stockfish analysis today.
Nov-26-23  Brenin: Only the B on b1 can stop White's h-pawn from promotion, so 40 Rxb1 Rxb1 41 h7 Ng6 42 Nxg6+ fxg6 43 h8=Q+.
Nov-26-23  Allderdice83: This is a Monday puzzle already. 40. Rxb1. Or am I missing something?

  Breunor: Easy peasy.
Nov-27-23  sfm: Preferring the a-pawn with 33.-,Bxa2? was a trip downhill. 33.-,Nf5 was good, to grab White's h4-pawn.
It does not look that scary yet, but suddenly it ends up winning the game.
Nov-27-23  Mayankk: Easier than the easy Monday puzzle.

White wants to promote its h6 pawn but the h7 square is guarded by Black Bishop. So 40 Rxb1 Rxb1 41 h7. Now there is no stopping h8=Q+ as 41 ... Ng6 falls to 42 Nxg6.
