THE CHESS WORLD
White starts and wins! Think many moves ahead.
A game Fenton-Potter (London, 1875) funds this famous puzzle. The game was actually drawn from the position shown on the diagram, but 20 years later F. Savaderra showed the way to win for white.
Here is a quite complex solution:

1. c7                Rd6+! (2. Kc5 draws because of 2...Rd1 and 3...Rc1)
2. Kb5        Rd5+
3. Kb4        Rd4+
4. Kb3        Rd3+
5. Kc2+        Rd4! (Now, if 5. c8=Q Rc4+! 6.Qxc4 stalemate)
6. c8=R!!        Ra4
7.Kb4                1-0
