My self-composed study (2020)

I ordered a new edition of Harold van der Heijden's latest study database and remembered that one of these nice problems originated from me. It was published several years ago in the German chess magazine SCHACH.

Wanna give it a whirl? White wins.

I thought checks were not admissible as key moves in chess compositions.
Going to a winning opposite colored bishop ending is a surprising twist.

Thx. Yeah, in mate problems a key with check would be somewhat weird. But here in a position with Queens and lot of checks it should be ok.

Actually while reading Müller's tome FCE I saw a similar idea in a bishop's endgame and tried to make use of it i.e. build something around.
