Another beautifully repackaged Saavedra theme problem is one by M. Liburkin.
Harrie Grondijs wrote a book called "No Rook Unturned - A Tour Around the Saavedra Study", and I would not be surprised if te above gem was included. Unfortunately, the book is a limited edition, and near impossible to obtain.
Nice indeed! Not sure I did or did not see it before. I have several endgame books by dutch writers but this one is not in my collection - though I know Harrie Grondijs's name from an era before mine. Not impossible I will come across it though one day in the legacy of one of our older community members. Many are over 80.
