Solution
Move the white king from a2 to b1 to check the black king with the white rook at a1. The black king must get out of check and none of the other black pieces can help save the king. The black king cannot move to a8 it will be in check from the rook at a1. The black king cannot move to b7 nor to b6 because of the white knights at c4 and c5. Since the king cannot get out of check it is checkmate and white wins the game.
Mueva el rey blanco de a2 a b1 para dar jaque al rey negro con la torre blanca en a1. El rey negro debe salir del jaque y ninguna de las otras piezas negras puede ayudar a salvar al rey. El rey negro no puede moverse a a8, estará en jaque desde la torre en a1. El rey negro no puede moverse a b7 ni a b6 debido a los caballos blancos en c4 y c5. Dado que el rey no puede salir del jaque, es jaque mate y las blancas ganan el juego.
