White in zz 1. The zugzwang is quite unexpected. Not only due to material
advantage that promises to last long as the knight has enough freedom to
escape his aggressor. The main surprise comes from a pair of pawns: g5 and f2.
They are placed at the distance of one move! A spare tempo that usually helps
winning battles for zugzwangs has no effect here because the pawns don't
oppose each other. The white pawn is in duel against theblackknight(correspond
ing squares f2-a7, f3-c8)! And the black pawn fights vs. king (corresponding
squares g5-c5, g4-d7)! Another unusual thing here - squares c5 and d7 are
