In this interesting position, we see black kingside pawns have reached the second rank and threaten to be promoted. However, it's always possible for white to give a perpetual check with 1.Qd8+ Ka7 2.Qa5+. The question is: Is there anything more than just a draw for white and is it possible for them to use black's weakened king position and get an advantage?
