"The b7-passer lives up to White's hopes for success, promoting, quite unexpectedly, to knight! And the logical bishop sacrifice 5.Bb2!! (decoying the queen) is followed by the newly emerged rider's final 8-move-long journey ending with mate from the promotion square!" (V. Tarasiuk).

"This is a very entertaining study. White must sacrifice both his rooks at h8. After one has recovered from the surprise, White finishes off by the excellent quiet move 12.Qd6! The inactive black Bb6 is a blemish, and also the initial position of the white Queen being attacked by the black pawn c2 is a pity" - judge Harold van der Heijden.

"A look ten moves ahead. Black providently gets rid of his pawn, so that his knight has the time to eliminate the white passer. And then, from the faraway corner, HE enters the play - a Cossack knight with speedy hooves! He runs at full speed towards the black king on the other edge of the board and ensnares him into the center, so as to catch the crowned runaway in the bottom corner. His own pawn doesn't prevent him from forking - White made it disappear by waving a magic wand on the third move. On the whole, nothing but magic!" - judge Sergiy Didukh.

"This stunning logical malyutka (a 5 men baby study) is based on the asymmetry of the chessboard. The solution, just like the logical try, is surprisingly accurate despite the length of the main line. A most remarkable discovery!" - judge Yochanan Afek."

"An encounter of the two sides in which the queening of white pawns is associated with Black's stalemate idea. To that end, Black sacrifices all of his officers, but White twice avoids capturing the last piece, bishop. Then Black attempts to self-stalemate that piece. However, his hopes are doomed to failure: the white king is precise both in the middle of the play - 7.Kf2! 8. Kf1! - and on the final move 13. Ke2!" (V. Tarasiuk)
