About his endgame studies:

For his chess studies, the composer only needed bulky material on both sides. The average length of his studies is between 4 moves and 10 moves. 
The degree of difficulty and the artistic standard of his studies is very high, so that his chess studies are still attractive today as timeless jewels.
