hs#11.5 4+2
Solution: (click to show/hide)
Solved it from diagram but wondered how Black can spare the one move. When comparing with the solution I saw that it is actually a 12 mover with Black to move! (Hs#11.5) Nice switchback of the bB with intermediate visits of both corners and Zugzwang finish. Not so much interplay of both sides (besides the Indian effect in the beginning) but certainly enjoyable.
Julia, please note: Arno says the stipulation under the diagram is wrong (and he is right!).
Have written to Torsten asking his approval for the correction of the stipulation.. but, hope, it’s ok to do so. Corrected!
And now the length of 11.5 is approved by composer. 😊
