8/4K3/6p1/3k3b/6p1/6N1/8/6B1 w - - 0 6

So can you demonstrate you can stalemate the Black King.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your analysis.

The position araises from a study of Troitzky
8/2K1p1p1/4b3/7P/6p1/2k5/6N1/6B1 w - - 0 1

There is a similar task araising from this other study of Troitzky
:8/1B3p2/7K/4Pk2/8/5p2/3N1p1b/8 w - - 0 1 --- > 2B5/5K2/8/4k3/8/5p2/5p2/5Nb1
b - - 0 4

I am convince that these positiion are winning but it is difficult to have a
real demonstration it is possible to stalmate the black king.

In the last position this still more difficult for chess engines because the
pawn f3 must not be taken or it is draw.
