1. Rf2 Rxf2
2. Nc6+ Kb5 (forced)
3. Nd4+ King Moves
4. Nf3... Queening the pawn
whoa, very nice
It's certainly pretty (what Troitzky composition isn't?), but does it win? Play continues:
1.Rf2 Rxf2
2.Nc6+ Kb5
3.Nd4+ Kb4
4.Nf3 Kc3
5.Kd1 g4
6.f8=Q gxf3
I agree that White has the better position, but what is the forced win?

''...but does it win?''
1. Rf2 Rxf2 2. Nc6+ Kb5 3. Nd4+ Kb4 4. Nf3 $18 Kc3 5. Kd1 g4 6. f8=Q gxf3
One possible line is :
7.Qf6+ Kd3 8. Qf5+ Ke3 9. Qe6+ Kd3 10. Qc4+ Ke3 11. Qc3+ Kf4 12. Qc7+ Kf5 13.
Qxb7 Rf1+ 14. Kd2 fxg2 15. Qxg2 Rf4 etc White has winning advantage.

Hm. Even after 8...Kd4 White has a big edge. I'd like to see the original context. Did Troitzky really publish this as "White to move and win" and then give a solution that extended past 4.Nf3?
i think:
1. f8:Q R:f8
2. Nc6+ Kb5
3. Nd4+ Ka5 (3.... Kc5 4. Ne6+)
4. Nc6+ =

1. f8:Q R:f8
2. Nc6+ Kb5
3. Nd4+ Ka5 (3.... Kc5 4. Ne6+)
4. Nc6+ =
3...Kb4!
Yeah... im sorry!
