  1. This resembles a corresponding square problem, but isn't one.

    Here is what I came up with:
















    1. Kb1 ...

    1... Kg3 2. d4! Kf3 3. Ka2 Ke4 4. Kb3 Kxd4 5. Kxb4 wins with outflanking.

    1... Ke3 2. Ka2 Kd4 3. Kb3 Kc5 4. d4+ Kb5 (4... Kxd4 5. Kxb4) 5. d5 Kc5 6. d6 Kxd6 7. Kxb4 wins. If 2... Kd2 3. Kb3 Ke3 4. Kxb4 Kd2 or Kd4 5. Kb3 wins.

    1... Ke2 2. Ka2 (2. d4?? loses to 2... Kd2 3. d5 b3!) 2... Kd2 3. Kb3 Ke3 (3... Kc1 4. d4) 4. Kxb4 wins.
