White to play and win

I've been away from my local town chess scene the last 4-5 years. Last weekend, the trainer of our chess club asked me to help them as the country team championship was on the way.
The 4th round was taken place on Sunday evening, i played quite well and won! The above diagram was the ending of my game. I had the white pieces, it's White's move. Find out the wining move(line) and you'll get a CD

PS: I still try to get over some personal ...difficulties.

Congratulations :)
Unfortunately, chess is not my speciality (I can't remember the basic rules right now) so I'm not going to try.

Ok - this will only work if black is tired and wants to go home.. (But I'm kinda tired too, and can't be bothered going all the way down to get a new queen...)

I figure bottom left corner is A1, ok? So you get my drift..

C6 to D6, black takes it, C5-D6, black does squat (...), C7-D7 (for protection, black does ?, D6-D7 and here the black wants to go home and gives up ;)

I've got a friend who's VERY good at chess, I could ask him.

Or you could just give us the answer! Congrats, anyway..

a1 is on the left corner of white's side :)
The game ended as:
33. e4! Kf7
34. f4 ef4??
35. Kf4 Kg7
36. e5 h5
37. gh6 Kh6
38. e6 Black resigned
..the e pawn will be promoted to queen

i can beat both you and your strong friend :)

I couldn't be bothered to go all the way and have a queen.. (And leave my chess friend out of this, I didn't ask him!)

Για τα ελληνικά - νομίζω οτι θα το περιγράψω (;) σε ένα ποστ!

Αν θέλεις - έχω και ένα 'ελληνικό' μπλογκ τώρα, Greek in not quite a week...

If you ever check in on this blog still... My father is going to Thessaloniki in October, and I can give him a few tips on where to go, but is there something special that he really mustn't miss while there?
