N. Grigoriev, 1931

When black's king takes the pawn on b6, the white king needs to be able to move to b4 the very next move.  Becuase of how far away the king's are, the white king needs to get to b4 as fast as possible.  He has 141 different ways to get there.  However, due to shouldering away techniques, not all of these routes draw.
