Obra descomunal repleta de golpes de efecto

Vista de las piramides de Egipto

        Las negras pueden amenazar mate con rapidez si logran eliminar al caballo de d8. Sin embargo, las posibles coronaciones negras van a complicar mucho las cosas, lo que hará que las blancas tengan que buscar ingeniosas soluciones para seguir el largo camino de la victoria. El mate que pone final a este descomunal estudio es sorprendente y un digno colofón a una obra preciosa.
