Moves like 1.b3-b4 or 1.e2-e3 lead nowhere after 1... axb4 2.axb4 c5 3.b5 c4+ 4.Kc3 Kc5 5.b6 Kxb6 6.Kxc4 Kc6 7.e3 Kd6 and 1... e4+ 2.fxe4 fxe4+ 3.Kc3 c5.

Decisive is the strong move 1.e2-e4+ forcing the black king to lose the opposition. White wins after 1... fxe4 2.fxe4+ Kc5 3.Kc3 Kb5 4.a4+ Kc5 5.b4+ axb4+ 6.Kb3 Kd4 7.a5 Kc5 8.a6 Kb6 9.Kxb4 Kxa6 10.Kc5 Kb7 11.Kd6 Kb6 12.Kxe5 c5 13.Kd5 Kb5 14.e5 c4 15.e6
