So, accept a portion of "chess nuts» of a new competition!

If you turn out to make a drawn game in this position №3, the leader of a chess marathon will be strongly surprised. … But if you move a White pawn «d5» on the other field of the 5th horizontal and carry out the task, the leader will be only glad!
