Hikaru Inspired Puzzle: There’s No Elevator, Time to Take The Stairs

Sort:

There is a funny video of Hikaru solving a similar puzzle. I don’t know the rules regarding links to videos so I’m not going to include it. Read below the puzzle for how to find it so there are no clues before solving. I put my own twist on it with the pressure of White’s King being trapped with the threat of a Back Rank from Black’s Queen & Promotion Mate.

For Hikaru Video, search “Hikaru Says Check Check Check Check” or “Hikaru Got The Staircase”

Adding some boring moves to Hikaru's original does not make it any better. Just as adding some paint strokes to a van Gogh painting won't improve it. .
