I got the following problem from John Green, an old-time hacker and casual chessplayer. I think he says that he found it in a book which said that this problem was composed by someone about whom nothing else is known, this problem is his only know contribution to humanity. I think it's sufficient. If you know anything about the origins of this problem, let me know. Mail me (don't post news) if you have a solution, and let me know whether you'd seen the problem before. I will post acknowledgements and solutions as appropriate in a couple of weeks. No goofy tricks, please. Black __##__WK__##__## BKBP##__##__##__ White to move and win.
