Blindfold Endgame Visualisation 12/50

Blindfold Endgame Visualisation


#12, E. Pogosjants, 1979


Our friend Pogo is back (see #8, #10).

I must admit I hadn’t previously given much thought to the study composers who lived and died in what back in the day would we used to call Eastern Europe. That changed when I picked up Elk and Ruby’s book on Mikhail Zinar’s king and pawn studies.


The short biography at the beginning is fascinating if a little sad. Not many of us have two births and nor will we have two deaths. Zinar had all four, it seems.



Mikhail Zinar



About Pogosjants I’m afraid I know nothing more than the three studies that have appeared so far in Martin’s book. I’ll be keeping an eye out for him in the future, though.




OUTCOME: Solved


RUNNING TOTAL: 11/12

  1. Zinar's pawn ending book is on my list of books to buy.
    I thought the puzzle was maybe the easiest (or least difficult) so far.
    My running score: 9/12.
