Let $ABC$ be an arbitrary triangle, and let $M, N, P$ be any three points on the sides $BC, CA, AB$ such that the lines $AM, BN, CP$ concur. Let the parallel to the line $AB$ through the point $N$ meet the line $MP$ at a point $E$, and let the parallel to the line $AB$ through the point $M$ meet the line $NP$ at a point $F$. Then, the lines $CP, MN$ and $EF$ are concurrent.

HIDE: MOP 97 problem Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and $M$, $N$, $P$ the points where its incircle touches the sides $BC$, $CA$, $AB$, respectively. The parallel to $AB$ through $N$ meets $MP$ at $E$, and the parallel to $AB$ through $M$ meets $NP$ at $F$. Prove that the lines $CP$, $MN$, $EF$ are concurrent. also
