Chess

Chess is a big time hobby of mine. I like it all: from serious games, active chess, blitz on the internet to the study of endgame compositions, problems and retrograde analysis. Chess programming? Of course, part of my PhD studies. Great way to bring together work and a hobby!

A bit of mathemathics involved in this problem taken from a great book by Dragoslav Andrić: "Igra miliuna", my first chess book. White is to move (yes, not Black!) and the question is: Can White win? If yes, how? If no, why not?

I love the clear idea behind this problem. It is White to move and mate in four. No question whether there is a win this time. Capturing the king in its bare essence!
