Draw

In the initial position there is a pawn battery but unfortunately it is blocked by the black queen. Therefore, the white queen leaves the a1 square but not without saying: "I'll be back!" 1. Qg1+ Ke4! Black is trying to avoid the capture of the white pawn. 2. Qg4+! Kd5 2... Kxe5 3. Nc4+ +- 3. Qd7+ Kxe5 3... Ke4 4. Qg4+ perpetual check 4. Qxa7! Only now is possible to take that knight, after the black king has moved to e5. 4... a1=Q 4... Qd1+ 5. Ke8! = 5. Nc4+! White fires the knight battery. This check was the reason why black tried to avoid capturing the e5-pawn. 5... Qxc4 6. Qxa1 The queen returns to a1 and rebuilds the pawn battery which, unlike in the initial position, is not blocked anymore.
