I saw this almost 40 years ago, and used to show it to everybody. Thanks for reminding me of it. I hope you're doing well.

Thanks Kuri, I hope you are doing well, too.

What fascinates me is that it takes only four pieces to create such a complex puzzle.

Very nice.  Solved everything after calculating except I hesitated for a few moments considering the stalemate trick.  Very nice.

Ich bin nicht klug genug.  Was für ein Rätsel!  Vielen Dank.  Ich wünsche Ihnen Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch!  Alles Gute.  I wouldn't have been able to think this up, or solve it over a chessboard, if my life depended on it :)  But it is indeed a thing of beauty!  Thanks for sharing it.

Danke - ebenfalls Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein Gutes Neues Jahr! Smile

Don´t worry - if you don´t already know both thematic ideas (stalemate trick and double threat) it is really hard to solve that one at first go.
