I have the impression that the h#2 is not by Érsek, but by the late Attila Benedek (9641, Schach-Echo June 1978). A more economic version of this problem by Karlheinz Bachmann (6q1/8/8/2b5/2RSk3/5S2/3K2B1/8, h#2 2111) received the 1 HM in that tourney.
ReplyDeleteOK, the author may not be correct in YACPDB.
DeleteAnother Ersek problem has been quoted in replacement (P0557187 in the PDB).
Willem Korteling was a professional painter.
ReplyDeleteHe also composed very elegant chess studies, which are also attractive for
the solvers.
