#1 from the DHLC Slow Chess League


The seed that stands out here is a pawn near queening. The theme called for is distraction. We need to distract the King from our pawn's path to royalty. Then once the king is distracted, White's bishop is the only piece fast enough to stop our pawn. But pushing that pawn threatens 2 separate coronations! The bishop is overworked and can't stop both.
