Composition 14: 滄海騰蛟, "A dragon leaps from the gray sea". Red to move; the printed verdict is 勝. The line is the book's printed solution, kernel-verified.

Printed 馬六進二 with a worn 四: f8 is the only legal destination, and it completes the mate.

Checkmate on the board, exactly as the book's 勝 claims.
