"Superstition always directs action in the absence of knowledge."
Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) "Foundation and Earth," 1986.

A mate is set on 1.. Kxf7 2. g8Q# but something on 1.. Bxe7 has to be prepared, thus the sacrificial 1. Qa8 (2. d8N#) Bxe7 2. Qxa2# the star variation with wide triangular Q-moves. On 1.. Kxe7 2. Qe8# and on 1.. Kxf7 the set mate follows.

Bernard Albert, American composer.
