Study of the Month - A short history of endgame study castling III

Castling in endgame studies is a rich and entertaining topic - be it real castling, the threat of castling, or even just retroanalysis that proves that castling is impossible. Last year we began a new series in which we chronologically explore the most interesting endgame studies with castling ideas. We aim at a mix between informative and interesting endgame studies again this month, a mostly light-hearted article without too much text. | Photo: Pixabay

After all, the local chess community was way too small to allow for a second publication to survive beside
Schakend Nederland, the official magazine of the local chess association.
And indeed,
Schaakbulletin never really made any profit. However, Andriessen's advertising in the magazine helped him to sell a considerable numbers of chess books, which he also published. He later advertised his newly established chess store and mail-order products, as well. In 1984,
