Auch, Greg, you gave me a headache on this one.

Within normal OTB chess match rules, I've just touched the pawn.
Let others try figure it out from there.
(And keep those asperines within reach).

it had me pondering most of the day at work but i figured it out

a tough one this you have to move the pawn to g8 and promote it to a knight

It can be done Raymond!!
I also had that notion at first, until I looked at it again (and again).

1.g8=N b5
2.Ne7 Kxb4
3.Nc6++

Theres your answer

a bit of an tricky one to spot but once you realise Black is forced to make those moves it is quite easy then

Provided you remember you dont have to promote to a queen everytime
