Dr. Harold van der Heijden, the editor of EG magazine, sells his collection of over 76,000 endgame studies for 50 EUR. I've had HHdbIV, the fourth edition, for a couple of days, and am really enjoying it!

This one is very amusing!

The first move is 1.Rf1....
Ha. So many studies wherein you must triangulate to lose a tempo, but here's one where you force your opponent to do that.
Sounds like you got it!
1.Rf1 Kh3 2.Rh1+ Kg2 3.Rh7 Kf3 4.Ke5 Kg4 5.Rh1 Kf3 6.Rf1+ Kg2 (6...Ke2 is no better) 7.Rf7 Kg3 8.Kf5 Rg4 9.Kf6 Rf4+ 10.Ke7 Rg4 11.Kf8 1-0
I've been meaning to get that CD one of these days. I believe it has my two immortal studies on it?
