Light to move. Dark has 2 men and 0 kings, Light 1 man and 1 king.
Win within 5 moves: at the end the opponent has no pieces left or no legal move, whatever they try.
What the position is about
- crowning — A man reaches the last row on the way, and the new king does the rest.
- kings on the board — At least one king is on the board, so pieces can come back as well as go forward.
Finding the way in
In the longer wins look at the squares the defending king can still reach and take them away one by one before you go for the capture.
Take your time. There is no clock on the result, and a wrong move is simply taken back so you can look again.
