For anyone who doubts that chess can be art, I present Josef Halumbirek’s 1st Prize winning composition for the Neue Leipziger Zeitung in 1933. It’s a mate in 5 and I betcha can’t solve this chess puzzle!

White to move and mate in 5 (Josef Halumbirek, 1st Prize Neue Leipziger Zeitung, 1933).

My other chess musings on Josef Halumbirek.
