Made me recall Herlin's pb 3312. What do you think, are the two problems somehow related? papadoble http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3310 Wed, 14 May 2008 08:45:45 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3310 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3312 papadoble: Arrrg, my comments are wron!

Thanks for the explanations :-) papadoble http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3294 Tue, 13 May 2008 21:06:59 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3308 papadoble: Nice duck walk! :-) Kf4 on last move must be correct too or I am missing something big. papadoble http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3308 Tue, 13 May 2008 21:02:21 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3308 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294 Coyote: Yes, the rook isn't really needed, but I included it to encourage tries such as 8/2rpp3/3k4/3PP3/3K4/8/8/8 and 8/8/3ppr2/4k3/3PP3/4K3/8/8, both of which might seem possible at first glance. Tastes differ on these matters--I chose 'puzzlement' over 'economy' :) Coyote http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3294 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:48:32 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3299 Kiccuz42: manually inserted the wrong variations and changed a bit the problem to make them look like tries Kiccuz42 http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3299 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:14:45 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3299 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3299 papadoble: The applet is wron here again, 1.b3? is not refuted. papadoble http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3299 Sun, 11 May 2008 22:41:14 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3299 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294 mrmip: Or why not a queen? mrmip http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3294 Sun, 11 May 2008 19:54:51 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3293 papadoble: Repaired papadoble http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3293 Sun, 11 May 2008 19:27:22 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3293 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3293 dmeng: There's two solutions, but you've acknowledged one. dmeng http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3293 Sun, 11 May 2008 16:28:49 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3293 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294 papadoble: I missed the solution of this excellent composition. The king is a piece! And model mate. Forces are used very efficiently, but for the rook, why not a pawn instead? papadoble http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=3294 Sun, 11 May 2008 15:13:55 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=3294
