“Septic shock, tension pneumothorax, community-acquired pneumonia, femoral fracture.” In this way, the death certificate of Almiro Elias David Zarur, our unforgettable master Zarur, describes his cause of death, which occurred on November 8, 2021, at 101 years of age. We hadn't heard from him since around August 2021, when we found out about his hospitalization due to a fractured femur. Zarur had lost his wife a few years earlier, had no children, and lived alone. I really believe that, after breaking his leg, he became very depressed, he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore. He was a happy person by vocation, and only liked to talk about happy things. Finally, we have the confirmation of the passing away of our great friend and artist, who left us a wonderful legacy of beautiful chess and musical compositions!
This problem, “The Dance of the Kings,” is one of his credentials for immortality:
