Title: browni3141 Puzzle #2
Post by browni3141 on Feb 25^th, 2015, 11:59am

This is not a composition, but a side line from an actual game. This is medium difficulty. Gold to play and win. Give best play for both sides.

There are a few small variations for silver and gold's later moves, but they are all nearly identical

EDIT: Updated solution slightly after hearing that it was wrong. I hope it's correct now.

kzb, you are very close. One of your gold moves is not the fastest win.

Edit: Your modified answer is correct.
