Kramnik wrote it right before:Karim wrote: Black will promote his pawn to a knight for threatening a mate..
1) e7 1f8N
2) e8R and threatening a checkmate is over!
(the clou was to get a rook and not a queen (because otherwise it's a draw)
====================================================================================
but black can promotion in whatever he wants...!
let's say he is queening the pawn - what must white move still be able to win?

I had to check with Droidfish for the move to check if there really was a move and there is, but now I'm disqualified from this puzzle and I won't tell the solution. I just tell this is one of a hell of puzzle. Is this a grand masters thing??
