    $\begingroup$ Awesome. I'll pay you back twice your bounty when yours has been awarded. A number of ideas for other problems came to my mind while trying to solve this one, and one of them was the very idea that was necessary here! Well, not strictly necessary as it turns out, which is amazing as well. Congrats for this beautiful problem. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ So, that's what you meant when you told me (something like) "it will look like it doesn't work, but it actually does" ! I thought it was no use forcing him to promote one of his pawns, since he would have too many choices, but I didn't figure out he would be tricked none the less. Brilliant ! $\endgroup$
