Logical try in the future


No, not OF the future :-)

A reason for a try/solution split (say, promoting to R instead of
Q because of stalemate) can be immediate (Ka4 Pb7 - Ka6),
but it can lie further into the future (add a rambling rook: +wRh5,+bRg3
- now the stalemate is obvious only after 2...Rb3+ - 1.Rb5 wins too BTW).

"Further" can be a long long time - how long?

Obvious candidate is Blathy's h4?/h3!

Also wasn't it the theme of the studies section in the 10 WCCT?

I take this to mean at what depth does a move finally reveal its purpose.

Rook promotion allows this Lindgren long shot: https://pdb.dieschwalbe.de/P1389840 The third moves looks 26 moves into the future.
