MR, der übrigens mit 4/II-III wertete, beschreibt das dargestellte Thema: jedem der vier wThemasteine ist ein Nachbarfeld des sK zugeordnet, welches er ganz allein deckt. In jeder Phase wird jeweils eines dieser Felder durch einen sStein geblockt, der unterwegs zufällig jene Themafigur schlägt, deren Deckungsaufgabe der in Forsberg-Manier sein Kleid wechselnde Stein auf f1 übernimmt. Der Superschnittpunkt T/L/N/(G) ist mir bereits aus einem feenschach-Serienzüger von P.A. Petkov bekannt, der mit einem ähnlich komplexen Zyklus einen Preis errang. Ich wüßte keinen Grund, warum es diesem reichhaltigen Hilfsmatt anders ergehen sollte.
EB: Die vom Autor gewohnten Linienöffnungen mit Matt- und Opferwechsel, hier mit Märchenfiguren garniert.

Jean Marc Loustau: Complete solution, with technical comments:
Thematic try:
1 LIe6? A threats 2 LIc6# B (g6-c6 is closed)
1…Sd6 ad lib 2 Bxd5# C RLd7 is desactivated (2 LIc6+?? RLxc6!)

1… RLf4! 2 Qxg2# F NLd8 being interferred (Not 2 MNLc3+? Kf3!)
(Nor MNLg2 being again interferred: 2 LIe5?? Impossible!)
By play: 1… Rxc1 2 Bc5#
But 1… Sb7!! (new correction: 2 Bxd5?? Impossible!)

Solution :
1 LIe5! D threats 2 MNLc3# E (g7-c3 is closed)
1…Sd6 ad lib 2 LIc6# B RLg6 is desactivated (2 MNLc3+?? Ke5!)
1… Sf5! 2 Bxd5# C RLg5 being interferred (Not 2 LIc6+? Kf4!)
(Nor MNLg2 being interferred: 2 LIe6?? Impossible!)

(2 MNLc3+? BLxc3!)
1… RLf4! 2 LIe6# A MNLg2 being interferred
(Not 2 Qxg2+? NLxg2!)

play all play one stop play next play all
A.Buchanan: sSg2 observes but since it is unobserved, does not give check. d1 is observed but not attacked: this is important after the castling when wTd1 does indeed check sK. (2022-01-25)
Henrik Juel: Andrew, you seem to have changed the english name for Beamtenschach from Functionary Chess to Civil Servant Chess
I prefer Functionary, because it is closer to the french and danish names (2022-01-25)
Henrik Juel: ... also Functionary is used by Popeye and Jacobi (2022-01-25)
A.Buchanan: The definition speaks of Civil Servant, as a property that a piece may have. Or maybe that was auto-translated? The word "Functionary" is quite obscure and dull word in English, and is a very poor translation. Most English-speaking people will think first as having something to do with "Function". A much better translation might be "Bureaucrat", which is the term in Russian. However since I changed it to align with the definition, I've seen that this dull word "Functionary" has in fact already got some currency in other places, so I think I've probably got to change it back, and will alter the definition to correspond too. (2022-01-25)
Henrik Juel: Thanks, Andrew; in your new PDB translation a single Civil Servant still lingers...
Beamtenschach was invented by german composers, who obviously named the condition in German; then it was 'correctly' translated into French as Echecs Fonctionnaires, and I guess the english name was derived from the french one
In an ideal world we should not translate fairy chess terms at all, and use the original name; this works fine for Köko, Circe Parrain, and lots of other fairy conditions
Unfortunately, the rivalry between the major western chess languages (German, English, French) seems to prevent a rational approach... (2022-01-25)
