Problem 600: Anatoly Stepochkin - Selfmate
anatoly.stepochkin(30.06.2015) Happy to publish this beautiful selfmate as Problem No.600!  Black has a mate in 1, but white has no waiting move! Fata Morgana with switchbacks of 3 pieces and Rundlauf by the wB.

Surprising that the white bishop has to take such a circuitous route to lose a move! Nicely done.

wB and wQ, trying coordinately to creat a zugzwang position in order to force Black to mate wK, are finally longway back home to the diagram position! Very impressive!

Monumental achievement for 600th published problem in KoBulChess!
