Yeah.
And the torture continues....
(I am not claiming to have got the first move of this one first time. I should have got it on the second. It is humanly possible after that, so stick with it). Anyone care to guess the rating of this one? You may be shocked.
I solved with 2 take backs, feeling good.Nice one .
Nice endgames ,but not that much tough.Needed takebacks though.
Endgame studies are the most beautiful chess problems, in my opinion, combining mathematical precision with elegant, surprising ideas while having a degree of practical realism. They also have great longevity. Problems a century old and more remain popular and fascinating.
I particularly like when material is extremely reduced and yet the moves are difficult to find. Here is one of the very best examples. (Mattison, 1914)
