This puzzle is much about pawn endgame strategy. In this puzzle you have to realize that you have to move your connected passed pawns forward while also letting your king take action and help the pawns to promote. I think if you know basic endgame strategy this is a decent puzzle for 1400 rating.

OP is right, this puzzle is very hard for a 1400 rating.

I agree. Even many 2400 pawn endgame puzzles are easier.

It is pretty obvious ? That is the only possible move.

Its hard or easy depending on your knowledge on pawn structures.

Mine is subpar, though my intuition told me which move it was, I decided to go for another one and I failed.

The one I originally thought was the correct one. Yep, its not a 1400 one, but its not above 1800

View the solution is the best move

It's probably 1400 because it works by plain intuition

Even my intuition doesn't help as much on this 1400 puzzle.
The concequences of 1...c3 2. Bxc3 bxc3 3. Kxc3 Ka3! is near impossible to calculate
