When I first arrived in Belgrade in 2013, honoring my deceased friend Milan, I was greeted by one special composer, the thriving with life experience and strong spirit Milomir Babić. I was instantly in love, not with the man of course, but with his generous offer - a self-made schnaps for a warm welcome and the difficult STES study.
Milomir Babić
STES World Championship 1997, 2nd place
White wins
Easier to solve, of course, is the following more recent study.
Milomir Babić
Euxinus Pontus 2010, 1st honorable Mention
White wins
I will leave both for the readers to figure out. Well, not really, the solution to the first study will be posted in the comments.
1.g8S+! R:g8 2.f:g8S+ Kg5 3.Sf6! K:f6 4.e8S+ Ke7 5.c8S+ K:e8 6.Sd6+ Ke7 7.c7! K:d6 8.c8S+ Kc7 9.B:d5 e:d5 10.a8S+! K:c8 11.Sb6+ Kb7 12.Sc5+ K:b6 13.R:b4+ K:c5 14.R:g4 wins. And there are lots of analytical variations.
