how can white promote?????



can players tell the possible way to promote it???i tried with stockfish 6 ,but not able to.
This is elementary again: march your king via e2-d3-c4-c5 to clear the path for your passed pawn.
The secret is to get your king in front of the pawn. Since black can block you if you try via e4, the correct path is through c4.
all you have to do bring your king in front of ur pawn ......
*dont give away opposition or else it will be a draw...*
The key fact is that you need to get the White King to one of the following squares: c6, d6 or e6. This is because the pawn is on d4.

1.Ke2 Kg5 2.Kd3 Kf5 3.Kc4 Ke6 4.Kc5 Kd7 (to stop 5.Kc6) 5.Kd5 Kc6 (or ...Ke7, it doesn't matter) 6.Ke6 Kd8

The White King has now reached e6 (or, after 5...Ke7 6.Kc6, then White would stand on c6, it doesn't matter). The purpose of this maneuvre was to ensure White control of the squares d6, d7, d8, as follows.

7.Kd6 Kc8 8.Ke7 Kc7 9.d5

In the final position, because the White King controls the squares d6, d7, d8, there is nothing Black can do to stop White from playing d6, d7, d8=Q and winning.
i got it seeing my bots game with stockfish 8 in that position

the point here is that the white king has to go to the boards left side .
