yea, lol, I like the word Paradox { < This is somewhat a Paradox on itself }

That's what many Human Beings forget; that it's not always about Diffeculty, but also about Complicated- and Intern-Paradoxes.
And just Paradoxes.

Hmmm... It might be The Most Famous Chess Puzzle in Chess for its Simplicity and ' Appearances are Deceptive ' synchronously, which Creates a Complicated Paradox[=the Reason why this is The Most Famous Chess Puzzle in Chess ], but this Most Famous Chess Puzzle in Chess is certainly not the Most Diffecult Chess Puzzle in Chess.
Still, Famous is Famous.

No matter what, Black cannot loose in this scenario. The worst white can do is force a draw.

@deeptimanb The letters for chess notation do not start from right to left.
They start from left to right: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h.
You may mean the following:
in above moves after 1.Kg7 Kb6 2.Kf6 h4 then?...
White must play 3.Ke5 and:
a/ if 3... Kxc6, then 4.Kf4 to take the Black pawn.
b/ if 3... h3, then 4.Kd6 to promote the White pawn.

what if black king goes to b6 in its first step? again black wins.. so it is impossible for white to draw..ha ha

@kishanpatel2050 No, White draws in that case too. Please see: 1.Kg7 Kb6 2.Kf6, then: a/ 2... Kxc6 3.Kg5 (and the black pawn taken). b/ 2... h4 3.Ke5 (and again 2 ways of draw - White Queen or black pawn taken). Thank you for commenting.
