Henri Rinck, Budapest Chess Club Compeition, 1911

I would be surprised if this composition has not been posted, but if so, it is worth another look.

Black , a pawn up, threatens to obtain a protected passed pawn with ...h5.

Things look dismal for white, however...

I don't recall seeing it here before but I haven't always been here. I am envious of Henri Rinck who lived in times when endgame studies were mostly unexplored territory. So many open spaces to fill. Then again, I have StockFish and Syzygy to penetrate its darkest corners. I'll settle for that!
