because White has lost his right to castle, as Andrew will explain, I hope... (2023-07-29)
A.Buchanan: White has not necessarily lost the right to castle, but if he can castle then the 50M rule triggers before the mate can be executed. It is pretty complicated, sorry. (2023-07-29)
A.Buchanan: We don't do mottoes much these days. Mrs Baird was a big fan. On page 301 of the July 1916 Chess Amateur P.H. Williams wrote:
"I think it was Mrs Baird who did more to search Shakespeare for accidental (or deliberate) reference to chess, since all her retractors had Shakespearean mottoes, and her knowledge of the Avonian bard was obviously extensive. Her example was followed by other composers of retractors, who considered such positions would be incomplete without some reference to the poet."
But there are other great playwrights, and Asteroid 5696 was named after one such, whose bitter quotation accurately states this problem's theme. (2023-07-31)
Henrik Juel: The citation is by danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and means something like
Oh yes, to be right, to be right; it does not help much that you are right, when you have no power. (2023-07-31)
Henrik Juel: Asteroid 5696 is named Ibsen after the norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), who must have borrowed the citation from Søren Kierkegaard (2023-07-31)
A.Buchanan: Thanks for this Henrik - I resolved the question here: https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/101229/did-ibsen-originate-this-statement
Beyond the castling try, the other innovation here is in the solution beginning 1...Se6. Castling convention and 50M I think are trying to combine by Retro Strategy (being optimistic about 50M rights like we are with castling, rather than pessimistic like we are with ep). (2023-08-04)
