WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN (FIDE Chess position by Troitsky)

But there is no winning plan for the same position on the first board of a game of Alice Chess, as after 1. Ne4 d2 2. Nf6+ Kh8 3. Ne7 d1=Q 4. Ng6 the Black King is not even in check. Note that the Black KIng is inverted in the second diagram to indicate that it is the solitary piece on the second Alice Chess board.
