16. Terror near and far

Secrets of the Golden Roc: 18 classical compositions

Composition 16: 逺近驚駭, "Terror near and far". Red to move; the printed verdict is 勝. The line is the book's printed solution, kernel-verified.

Printed 士六進五; the f8 advisor can only travel to e9, so the direction character is a misprint for 退.

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