Subject: Troitzky 1912 ultimater? ...

First of all let me say that the book does not give the solution.

[D] 8/P1k2P2/6q1/N2K4/2n3N1/7p/8/8 w - - 0 1

This position (White to play and win) is given as a curiosity. In the original
edition there was a fantastic solution almost 4 pages long - a real labour of
love on Troitzky's part. This solution has been omitted in the present edition,
since any attempt to solve the ending would only result in failure and
frustration for the unhappy would-be-solver. (Fred Reinfeld, editor)

So I don't have the answer guys, but it's probably even harder than the other
one posted earlier.

Cheers,
Jim
