Thanks for the info. A search shows that the book you refer to is "Chess
curiosities" by Tim Krabbe:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0047940212/qid=1041731496/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_2_5/202-0702088-1707039
The book is out of print on Amazon.co.uk, so I have to search elsewhere.

I remember seeing a similar position when I was about 10 years old (maybe
younger; anyway, I was in elementary school). Today's intersting post by Eduard
Nemeth (http://talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?274921) reminded of that
position, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet, so posted it here.
