My first chess study - First attempts by Peter Siegfried Krug

Peter S. Krug on his beginnings in study composition: "I did my first studies when I was still living in Siezenheim before 2004. At that time I still had chess programmes like Fritz 6 and they were too weak to really be able to check endgame studies. I therefore designed my first studies so that the black king was in a corner. Ofte n without the black king being able to move. This automatically resulted in positions with stalemate situations that were manageable and predictable for me. It wasn't until there were stronger engines on the market that I dared to build studies that were freer in structure and much more dynamic and closer to the game. "
