Jun-20-05  Benzol: Anyone know if this is Vladimir Alexandrovich Korolkov the Soviet problem and endgame study composer?
Jun-22-05  vonKrolock: <Benzol> I can not assert this for the moment, but here we find http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/pos... some examples of his Art - curiously, the last diagram in that page warns the solver that 'computer use will not help you': Krabbé published already something in the same mood in his site - There're Studies that Computers are unable to solve!

White to move is winning.

A very nice, descriptive solution was given today by MostlyAverageJoe chessforum

  GrahamClayton: Another fine study by Korolkov from 1935. White to move and win:

A triumph of economy - there are no extraneous pieces on the board, and not a single unnecessary move was made.

May-26-15  Infohunter: <GrahamClayton> A fine study indeed. I would like to add that it richly repays a detailed analysis of the "what if" lines at each and every turn for both sides.
