[MD 1607]
In the starting position there is an immediate set matt.
But this cannot be maintained by white.
That's why he has to come up with something new.
In order to restore the starting position and thereby shift the duty to move to black, White needs ten moves.
The black king has to run two linear Rundlaufs and the white queen must be led a tempo onto the square d6. Only when all of this has been implemented can white S and white Q return to their original stands, forcing black to set the mat.
Model mate.

Happy Holidays
By Mike Prcic
As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the current COVID-19 pandemic. It has been a difficult time for many of us. I have been in touch with many composers. Many are suffering, especially the older ones. Some are not infected but still need medical care, which is not available, since the hospitals are swamped with COVID-19 patients. One of StrateGems’ editors lost his younger brother to COVID-19. A long-time subscriber from Italy informed me that his whole family was infected. He had the hardest time with the infection but survived and is now COVID-19 negative.
On a positive side (if there is such a thing), we all have ample time for composing (and in my case for playing online bridge). WCCT-11 should benefit from the pandemic. Nevertheless, I hope the vaccine arrives soon, is effective, and that we all can go back to our lives.
To brighten the holiday spirit, Kurt Keller has sent a composition that reminds us of the Christmas tree. Thank you, Kurt!

Stefan Felber: Kein Modellmatt! (2023-10-27)
Gerald Ettl: Warum soll das kein Mustermatt sein? Fuer mich ist es eins. (2023-10-28)
SCHRECKE: Das Feld h4 ist geblockt+gedeckt! (2023-10-28)
Gerald Ettl: geblockt macht nichts aus, nur wenn es 2-mal von Weiss gedeckt ist, dann wuerde es was ausmachen. (2023-10-29)
SCHRECKE: Die Definition des M. lautet: "Mattbild, bei dem alle weissen Figuren ... mitwirken und jedes Feld um den schwarzen König nur einfach gedeckt oder geblockt ist."
Jedes Feld darf also nur aus einem (!) Grund für den sK unzugänglich sein und das ist nicht der Fall. Hier liegt definitiv kein M. vor ... (2023-10-30)
Gerald Ettl: Danke Schrecke, das war mir auch neu. Ausserdem habe ich nochmal bei ein paar Schachfreunden nachgefragt, die sind auch der Meinung, dass es kein Mustermatt ist. (2023-10-30)
Henrik Juel: for what it may be worth: I also think that there is no model mate here (2023-10-30)

A.Buchanan: Without sTa5, Black castling rights would be gone. But I don’t think that observation is sufficient to make the problem retro, even if sTa5 had no role in the forward play. Have changed the genre from
Retro to #2. (2022-04-26)
