"In Rundlauf a piece has to describe a closed figure. In other words, the
piece which commences the de tour must complete by arriving at the starting
square. The five-mover below is an impressive example of a rectangular Rundlauf
which can be shown only in a problem of such length. There is white strategy in
forcing the bishop moves. The two white rooks are sacrificed en route and the
little white pawn has the last laugh.
Dr E Zepler, Schwalbe 1937
