Absolutely brilliant, a wonderful masterpiece. The play from 6. Lg5! onwards is one of the best finals in the history of studies, and also the introduction is great. This is a textbook example of economy of means, richness of themes and buildup of tension. 5 points!!!

An alternative version that makes the introduction compact and relative to the final. Now both thematic queens are attacked with forks, what is a development of this beautiful idea.
In Bazlov’s version, the main content starts with 6. Bg5! and White sacrifices both queens, which leads to a common final 8. Ha5+. In Kwiatkowski’s work the main contenet starts with 2.Rg5! and both queens are attacked with forks. Both works have the same final combination but it is only a part of main play. You see it as an improvement. This seems debatable (6 x 4.0 votes for Bazlov’s work). Kwiatkowski’s version is also no anticipation (rather, another development of the final idea).
For this, it seems a much better solution (for both authors) to leave this version as «fun fact» only in comments and remove this new separate item from database.
Wonderful study. The position after 7…Qc6 is one of the most pleasing in history.

Thank you for this version. It really improves the original. The initial position is more attractive and Rh5!! is great.
Both positions, Bazlov’s and the above one, differ so much. So what is right: Bazlov (version Kwiatkowski) or Kwiatkowski (based on Bazlov) ?
Your version of Bazlov has a different introduction. The main content is the same.
A study by Neidze differ from the Bazlov by another model mate but stalemate is not there.
A study by Richter has stalemate in the try and mate in the finale, but it’s a different and not model mate.

You actually add it to the database as a Bazlov study (https://eg.org.ua/chessgame/bazlovy-3131-30c7g4-v/). This is difficult to understand and difficult to accept.
