Cook: e.p. not justified as R: 0.e3xd4 possible
VL: Unjustified ep-capture because of –e3xd4. For correction it suffices e.g. to add bSe3.
This is possibly a unique 2-move helpmate with ep-key and 2 solutions of the type 1.2.1.1 (at least so currently in the PDB).
Publi?ation details. H551 in the Helpmate section of the July issue, with no preview. Here is the text of the solution published in the Nov.-77 issue: “…White may have just played P(e3)xd4. Very few solvers have spotted this. Full marks for claim of no solution with correct reasoning but, in fairness, one mark for composer's intention. White cannot have just played K(a5)a6 in reply to Pxb6+ as too many captures by Black are required.” (2023-12-01)
A.Buchanan: Yes Valery you are right this must be cooked. However, I'm not a fan of +bSe3 because it spoils one of the model mates. Separately, I mildly prefer bPf7 to bPe6. (2023-12-03)
VL: I do prefer bPf7, as well. I don't see any way to save at least one of the properties Kindergarten Problem and Model mate (2) after fixing (what for these keywords have been added just now?). Besides, Andrew, please, refine the specification ((full) number and publication month 07-08). (2023-12-03)
A.Buchanan: Ok have added the publication details. The keywords are useful to indicate the aim, even though the problem is cooked. I guess there is a way to keep the model mates but it’s very clunky and probably +bSe3 is better (2023-12-03)

[MD 1317]

Verführung:
Schwarz versucht, mittels 1.Kf2?!? 2.Kxg3 usw. zum Ziele zu kommen und durch eine weiße Dameumwandlung das Matt in der geforderten Zügezahl zu erzwingen. Dieser Plan scheitert allerdings daran, dass Weiß ziehen muss und dieses Unterfangen mittels 1.Kh2! unterbinden muss.

Drei weiße Figuren müssen das Feld g4 im Laufe der Lösung betreten. Der schwarze König betritt im Laufe der Lösung drei Ränder des Schachbrettes.
Wahrscheinlich ist diese Aufgabe auch für den Löser nicht allzu einfach zu lösen, weil das Mattbild nicht ersichtlich sein dürfte. Es mutet eher unwahrscheinlich an, dass dabei sogar die Zugreihenfolge absolut eindeutig ist. Durch die zusätzliche starke Verführung wird die Aufgabe inhaltlich nochmals aufgewertet. Zumal jeder versucht, mittels Umwandlung in eine weiße Dame ans Ziel zu gelangen, vergebens!

Henrik Juel: In Functionary chess all men are functionaries
A functionary has no powers (except the ability to observe), unless it is observed by an enemy man
In this problem, initially the pawns are observed by the kings, so they may move and promote
2... Tb1 is possible, because Tb8 is observed Ka7, and then Tb1 observes Dd1, who checks on g1
3... Tb7+ is possible, because Tb1 is observed by Dg1, and this white move releases the check from Dg1, because Dg1 is no longer observed, and it checks, because Tb7 is observed by Ka7
5.Ka5 escapes from check, because Ta7 is no longer observed
6... Kc4# is possible, because Kd4 is observed by Dg1, and this white move delivers check from Ta7, because now Ta7 is observed by Dg1
7.Ka5,Ka3? are illegal, because the black king is still in check from the observed Ta7
Kc4 has no powers before Black attempts the illegal moves 7.Kb3,Kb4,Kb5? which observe Kc4
Popeye 4.61 quickly tests this h#6, because there are relatively few moves to consider (2021-10-22)
Henrik Juel: Andrew, your english definition might be clearer, if you replace 'threaten' by 'observe' (2021-10-22)
A.Buchanan: OK will do - I will add that to observe is to attack a friendly piece. Attack is a term from the laws (2021-10-22)
