Endgame study which recieved 2nd prize and was corrected by Mario Guido García in 2012:

Dr. Lóránd Nyeviczkey's work Kh6/Kd8, of theoretical value, deservedly received the attention of the world press. In the study we see the well-known Holzhausen combination. The crossing point has been reached, all that remains is to do the opposite of the usual for the two strokes.
