Well step this up a notch, I can step it up several more notches, but there's no fun watching an earthworm try to fight an eagle.

White to move

endgames are all about tactic (or call it calculation). Many player learn this kind of position like theory (memory), but the best way is to calculate everything. That is a recommandation my GM friend made to me when he was my roommate, maybe you know him; Alexandre Lesiège

Next puzzle. Maybe I started a little too easy for you. That was as basic as it comes. Heard the name don't know who he is (roommate)

White

attempt to quick-solve that one:
white push pawn, if black takes white wins bc they can get the King over to the A file and escort pawn
if black doesn't take, then idk and i'm probably completely wrong (maybe black can defend by going King C8)
did not go beyond 2-3 move depth in attempt to answer lol

Incorrect, try again.

If you ever want to know who's turn it is
A1 bottom left whites turn H8 bottom left blacks turn.

is pushing pawn the correct first move though?
I tried plugging it into analysis and everything else shows that black can force a draw

Incorrect, pawn push is wrong. This is a win for white. This is the last move. You can clearly see it's a win. Turn up your engine? I don't know. This ain't even getting to the hard stuff yet LOL.
