since Sat., 25 Nov. 2006:
The Black King can make no legal move, so a Zugzwang strategy applies while White positions a Knight to administer the coup de grace: after 1. f5-f6, Black has only two pawns he can move (on c3 or e3). It doesn’t matter which pawn he advances to the second rank (whether by move to e2 or by capturing a white pawn) — White then moves 2. Nd4, and again no matter how Black promotes one of his pawns, White mates with 3. Nf5++.
