Every week we present you an endgame study selected by IM Yochanan Afek: player, trainer, endgame study composer and writer. A week later the solution is published. This week it's the study he composed especially for the 2011 Cez Chess Festival. Good luck solving!

Yochanan Afek and Pavel Votruba at the Cez Chess Festival last week

You’ve probably seen the pictorial report on the lovely Czech festival, which was of a high cultural standard! I was invited also to dedicate an original study to the event which I present here.
