Re: W. Eigenmann's Hallowe'en chess puzzles.
Hello:
Amazing 'Halloween Witch 2026' problem! If Walter reads this, I want to note that, currently, the FEN string in his web is 8/R7/Pp4kN/8/7p/7K/p7/2nB4 w – – 0 1 while the image above in his web shows a dubious pawn colour on a2 that can be interpreted as both white or black. The correct problem is the one in the FEN string, this is, with a black pawn on a2.
The problem is tagged as a study from Internet and features an Asaba's battery, as shown in the excellent Tim Krabbé's site. The position is heavily based on a problem of 1998 according with Tim: 8/R7/Pp4kN/8/B7/7K/p7/2n5 w - - 0 1, where the only differences are the position of the white bishop (d1 vs a4) and an additional black pawn on h4.
Regards from Spain.
