Chess news and chess trivia blog (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2010
Hello Everyone,
Get your coffee mug, turn up the music in the background, switch of your mobile phone and sit down to solve this endgame. You will need to focus undisturbed so as to be able to enjoy this endgame study! After all - undiluted chess pleasure without disturbance is what you owe to yourself.
You can run the solution in the flash player before after your thinking time. Enjoy.

ah this is kinda tough but i think White has to somehow trap one of the Black minor pieces with the Rook. Hmmm. Good night.

Damn good endgame study. I resist the temptation of scribbling down the answer so the others can still run the flash and see it. I ask for more.
