White to move and win. One of the variations has a VERY unusual move.

Apr-21-22  Retireborn: Underpromotion to avoid the stalemate trap! Such a pity that Hjartarson missed it.
Apr-21-22  rogl: But not any underpromotion, but a bishop promotion which is extremely rare.

1. Qf7+ Nxf7 2. exf7+ Kh7

3. fxe8 = R or Q then 3...Qg2+ 4.Kxg2 is a stalemate. 3.fxe8=N Qxd7 so the move is. 3.fxe8=B

A very rare instance where only an under promotion to a Bishop will do. Now it is a fairly stright forward White win.
