Five!

The five knight promotions in a pawn endgame are finally done!

First to have a published study was Darius Knight (!) of the United Kingdom. He may or may not be related to the table tennis professional of the same name, our inquiry was replied to with "Good guess! I play table tennis."


A few hours later, Steffen Slumstrup Nielsen followed with his own knight promotion task study.


A wonderful achievement by both composers, many thanks for this expression of beauty, of spirit!
