Walther Jorgensen is also famous for his unbelievable mate-in-203 problem.
ReplyDeleteUntil today, this is the longest dual-free direct mate problem without pawn promotions ever composed.
The problem and a step-by-step solution can be checked here. :)
... it is still a pity that Victor Aberman died. His studies are all at a very high level! He received his awards from very strong tournaments. A great loss of a very talented study composer.
