Isnt this just something we can look up in the tablebases? I can also create a study like this...

Isn´t it more fun trying to solve it instead of looking it up in a tablebase? I also suspect this study has been composed without use of a tablebase. Where there any good tablebases avaible already in 2009? Cause I think that is something from the last year.

Some people are just never happy. You could also just put any position in an engine and get a result. Where's the pleasure in that ? The idea is to solve it for yourself. If you are capable of making up a study like this yourself (and not just look something up in a tablebase or a book) then please share it and make a positive instead of a negative contribution.

What i was trying to say... Maybe it was better to compose a nice intro that leads to this position. The theme in this study also isnt new. I already knew it...
