this is one of Kim's 'phrase puzzles', where each move is assigned a letter and the solution spells something. in this case, it's a 19-move sequence that spells the name 'Nobuyuki Yoshigahara', for whom the IPP annual puzzle design competition was named after his death in 2004. Nob Yoshigahara was a supernice and groovycool smart person, and this is Kim's puzzle tribute to him.
some minor but noticeable bleeding of the waterbased ink on the description / solution card (seen in first photo).
