Good morning sunshine! You are going to like today’s Troitzky puzzle! White has the passed a-pawn but Black has the more dangerous h-pawn (and f-pawn!) On top of that, the White King appears to be caught in a mating net. A good situation for the cavalry to come to the rescue! White to play and draw. Good luck!
