"The distance between individual stars is so huge that it is possible for one galaxy to slip through another galaxy without a collision between any of the billions of stars involved. And you’re worried about returning a late library book."
Eric Idle (* 1943) "The Road to Mars," 1999.

Published in Troll, 1997. Something on the capture of wNd5 unguarding wRf6 has to be prepared. The tries create the double threat 2. Nc6, Nd3# but fail to a suitable capture on d5: 1. Rc5? Rxd5! and 1. Qc5? Bxd5! Thus an attack from the other side of the board guarding wRf6: 1. Qh4 (2. Qh5#) Bxd5, Rxd5 2. Nxd3#, Nc6# using the black Grimshaw interferences on d5 (not a Latvian Novotny as the key does not yet create a Novotny double threat). The double threat from the tries is separated (Barnes theme) and the N-mates follow on their defenses from the tries (Rudenko theme). By-play 1.. g3, Be4 2. Qxf4#, Rxe4#.

Sven Trommler (* 9.4.1966 in Zwickau) German composer and Grandmaster. "Sven Trommler composes in all genres."
