White to play. Can he avoid losing?

White to play. Can he win?

- White to play.
- And win!
- No. White can not win.
- How come? He just plays the pawn two forward and gets a queen!
- Black will not let White win.
- How?

Il semblerait que Tamara Koukouchkina veuille s’emparer d’une technique de chiffrement révolutionnaire dont nous ignorons tout. Nous la surveillons depuis son arrivée en France. Hier, 14 juin, se sentant peut-être traquée, cette espionne a caché précipitamment un message sur la tombe de Joséphine VERAZZI au cimetière du Père Lachaise. Notre agent a pu en recopier le contenu avant que le complice de Koukouchkina ne le récupère.

If you are like me, you have learnt French at least four times. However, with Google Translate, have no fear.

It seems that Tamara Koukouchkina want capture a revolutionary encryption technique which we know nothing. We are monitoring since his arrival in France. Yesterday, June 14, feeling perhaps hunted, this spy hastily hid a message on the tomb of Josephine Verazzi at Pere Lachaise cemetery. Our agent was able to copy the contents before the accomplice Koukouchkina not recover.

It is not perfect English, but it has to do. Jump to this page, decipher the secret message, and, if your solution is right, you land on a page with a new challenge.
