Korrektur Hilmar Ebert: +sSe8 (erhält Quasi-Symmetrie)
Yuri Bilokin: Not all pieces in quasi-symmetry are necessary: the white pawn on h2 is superfluous. It is clear that more than 100 years ago there was such a direction in art, although some authors indulge in technical white pawns in our time. (2022-12-19)
A.Buchanan: The technical term for such a position is "symmetric constellation". "Quasi-symmetry" is where the position is nearly symmetric but not quite (e.g. game array except wPa2 is missing). In a symmetric constellation any redundant piece is a definite defect. A quasi-symmetric position is not an ornament, more of a consequence of the content. For example, a number of last move type DD problems are quasi-symmetric (2022-12-20)
Yuri Bilokin: Thanks for the interpretation (2022-12-20)

A.Buchanan: The technical term for such a position is "symmetric constellation". "Quasi-symmetry" is where the position is nearly symmetric but not quite (e.g. game array except wPa2 is missing). In a symmetric constellation any redundant piece is a definite defect. A quasi-symmetric position is not an ornament, more of a consequence of the content. For example, a number of last move type DD problems are quasi-symmetric (2022-12-20)
Yuri Bilokin: Thanks for the interpretation (2022-12-20)

Yuri Bilokin: Correction: wRh4-h5 8/8/5k2/7R/6n1/8/5B2/5K2 (3+2) (2021-04-16)
A.Buchanan: I don't know what to do here. Clearly we can't disrupt the rook square, so maybe +sBf3 is best as Yuri proposes (2021-04-16)
Yuri Bilokin: It is necessary to decide what is better to break the rook square or the Ideal mate. (2021-04-16)
A.Buchanan: Ideal mates are cheap, but Th4-h3-g3xg4-h4# is a prize. (2021-04-17)
SCHRECKE: why not: +bPh3? (2021-04-17)
A.Buchanan: @SCHRECKE because the rook's movement in a square should not be motivated by capturing, and +sBh3 also blocks wT unnecessarily from h1 & h2. This problem does not appear in WinChloe, at least not in Canadian Chess Chat under this author (who has 891 total compositions - not gone through them all). Maybe he never fixed it. One clean idea is to replace wKf1 with sBg2. This is still an ideal mate. Then put +wKa1 if you must :-) (2021-04-17)
A.Buchanan: +sBg2 & wKa1 is sound, but maybe best to rotate the board as sB threatening to promote is perhaps unfairly distracting to solvers (2021-04-18)

Adrian Storisteanu: (In the latest, a bPe5 -- instead of bSe5 -- is just as good...) (2021-04-19)
A.Buchanan: Busy - will check these later. But Adrian I didn’t suggest bB but sB i.e. (German) black pawn not bishop (2021-04-19)
Adrian Storisteanu: I understood you fine (but I might have misplaced the text in parentheses). (2021-04-19)
A.Buchanan: With your latest Bb7 Re4 Kc2 / Kg6 Pc5e5, once might as well remove the two black pawns and replace with wPd6 (then rotating the board by 180 degrees). But surely this is not original, and indeed P0510694 by Ugren achieves full h#4. But Yuri has already corrected P0503631 by Krikehli to achieve the same thing! Time to give up - nothing new here.

Henrik Juel: Natch 3.1 did nothing in more than 3 hours (2018-12-13)
Vladimir Rey: I guess, FEN-misprint. Correct e3 = e4, probably. If p. e3: dual 8. Da6-d3 (2022-11-06)
Moldenhauer: Computerprüfung: Cooked Stelvio 1.5 wenn Bauer auf e3 steht.
Lösezeit: 70:23:07 Stunden. (hh:mm:ss) Keine Lösung: BP 20.5 ca. 22 Std.
Herr Vladimir Rey hat dies schon festgestellt.
8.Da6-d3 Ke8-d8 9.Dd3-h7 Kd8-c8
8.Da6-g6 Ke8-d8 9.Dg6-h7 Kd8-c8
Computerprüfung: C+ Stelvio 1.5 wenn Bauer auf e4 steht.
Lösezeit: 87:04:40 Stunden. Keine Lösung: BP 20.5 ca. 31Std.
Notation ist bereits für Bauer auf e4 richtig.
Richtige FEN: 4k2r/1pppppp1/B6p/Q6r/1B2P3/2KP4/PPPN1PPP/4R1NR
Die Strategien für e3 2944615/ e4 3379466 gerechnet mit 20/21 Playern. (2023-08-28)

Mario Richter: brauchen wir wirklich zwei verschiedene Keywords - hier "Tempoverlustmanöver", bei z.B. P1007491 hingegen "Loss of tempo"? (2018-10-21)
Henrik Juel: Good point, Mario
Other things in the never-ending Keyword discussion include:
Tempoverlustmanöver is currently called the same in english and french, and has no definitions
Loss of tempo (Tempoverlust in german) is defined as
'With White to play, a sequence of moves to reach the same position with Black to play. (Help game, abbr .: TV)'
which makes little sense in proof games
In this problem [Pe2] goes e2-e3-e4 ('wasting' a move)
In P1007491 [Pc2] similarly goes c2-c3-c4-... and [Lc8] goes (among other things) c8-b7-a6-c8 ('triangulation') (2018-10-21)
Henrik Juel: There are many solutions in 6.0 moves, like
1.Sb1-c3 Sg8-f6 2.Pe2-e4 Sf6xe4 3.Sc3-a4 Se4-c3 4.Ra1-b1 Sc3xb1 5.Sa4-c3 Sb1-a3 6.Sc3-b1 Sa3-c4
Correction: Change the stipulation to
BP in exactly 6.5 (2024-03-10)

(J.-M. Loustau, Heft 151, 2/1995). Gleich dreifaches Pech hatte der Autor mit diesem Stück. Zunächst kocht der SB das Stück als em s#9 / und muß durch den Autor darauf hingewiesen werden, daß es sich um ein em Patt / handelt. Beginnend mit Heft 151 wurden die Forderungen durch Abkürzungen ersetzt; und unser SL hat aus dem em Selbstpatt / ein em s#9 gemacht - ja Längstzüger wird halt fast automatisch mit s# verbunden! Und dann verschläft der SB auch noch die Lösungsbesprechung - nur gut, daß PvdH, unser 95er Preisrichter, aufgepaßt hat... Lösung: Sofort 1.Sf6? T:f6 scheitert an 2.g:f6! Deshalb muß zuvor der wBg5 abgeräumt werden: 1.Sc5 EQa3 2.Sd3 EQg3 3.Se5 EQc7 4.Sc4 EQc1 5.Se3 EQ:g5 (weg ist er!) 6.Sd5 EQa5 7.Sc3 EQe1 8.Se4 EQe7 und nun 9.Sf6 T:f6=. 8zügiger S-Rundlauf im 3$ times$3-Quadrat und großer Stern der sEQ.

A.Buchanan: A small group of similar problems forces some short Round Trip across past and forward play. The last move is not uniquely defined (it may be a capture) and is not mentioned in the stipulation. However the genre includes retro. This means that an aesthetic criterion (e.g. existence of Round Trip) can define whether a composition is subject to 50 move rule or dead position rule! (2021-10-31)

Pawns reborn on their 1st rank have no legal move in this condition (unlike Circe-Parrain).
Henrik Juel: I am not a co-author of this problem, which appeared in The Problemist under Kevin's name only
In the solution section there was no mention of a cook (2021-05-17)
Henrik Juel: Kevin has pointed out a memory lapse on my part
He found a cooked problem by me from 1993 with the same idea and suggested that his 2006 problem should include me as co-author, which I accepted (2022-03-31)
Anton Baumann: "cooked" ist zu entfernen! Was soll denn hier cooked sein? (2022-04-06)
Henrik Juel: I believe that Kevin has found a cook (2022-04-06)
Kevin Begley: Norbert Geissler found this impressive cook (which Popeye does not find).
We have long known of a simple correction (I believe it's fully sound starting with wSf7, as ser-=18, but the circuit would be lost). I had hoped to reveal details of the cook (and the solver) in the publication of a correction, but time slipped away, then I stopped composing for some years. Truth be told, prospects to fully restore the intent were never likely. (2022-04-10)

Schachzwang: Black must check, if he can
Ultraschachzwang: Black must check
so these conditions are different (2022-05-06)

Die kritische Lenkung des sT kann durch eine vollständige antiperikritische Führung unter Schach wieder rückgängig gemacht werden. Danach ist diesselbe kritische Lenkung wegen Wegführung des wK erfolgreich.

Henrik Juel: The keyword Pure Round Trip (tt) suggests roundtrips by two black rooks; in fact Ta8 does a double roundtrip (2018-12-29)
Henrik Juel: Natch 3.1 did not find the solution in an hour
Stopped at pos. 75
The puzzle in the NW corner is almost impossible for a solver like Natch, whereas a human solver would find it simple, if he got that far is the solving process
The double roundtrip is automatic (2018-12-29)
ras@bsiag.com: Actually, this problem is solvable by computer, tested by Stelvio 0.92 and found to be correct (just one of many PDB problems that will be either C+ or C- in the near future). It took a bit more than 1h. (2022-12-08)

Anton Baumann: mit akzeptiertem Umwandlungsdual C+; Gustav 4.1d (2021-01-13)
A.Buchanan: I think the automatic pardon for a promotion dual only supplies if it's on the final move. I don't know how much latitude there is for very minor duals in selfmates. If it's not acceptable, then maybe there has to be e.g. bSd8 & wDe8, so can have discovered check dxe8=S+. Would need some way to prevent dxe8=L though, so pull apart the constellation around wK. I have some ideas, but no engine to validate and not clever enough to analyze it myself :D (2021-01-13)

Henrik Juel: The task of changing who has the move can be accomplished in 15 black moves:
1.La7 Kb2 .. 6.Lb8 Kb7 7.La7 Kc7 8.Lb8+ Kc8 9.La7 Kb7 .. 15.La7 Ka1 16.Lb8,
or, if it is Black to move:
1... Kb2 2.La7 Ka3 .. 6.La7 Kb7 7.Lb8 Kc8 8.La7 Kc7 9.Lb8+ Kb7 .. 15.Lb8 Ka1 (2012-07-26)
Mario Richter: Since the wL can lose a tempo on b6-d8, the OR can be done even faster:
WTM: 1.La7 Sb7 2.Lb6 Kb2 3.Ld8 Ka1 4.Lc7 Sd8 5.Lb8
BTM: 1. ... Sb7 2.La7 Sd8 3.Lb6 Sb7 4.Ld8 Kb2 5.Lc7 Sd8 6.Lb8 Ka1
My guess: diagram error. (2012-07-26)
TBr: Indeed, Mario, a diagram error just in "32 personaggi e 1 autore" (p.533), where the diagram is given as here -- but with piece count 10+11!

Henrik Juel: With a white pawn added on b7, the play by black king is a1-b2-a3-a4-b5 followed by a round trip, the orientation of which depends on who has the move, like in P0005205 (2012-07-26)
A.Buchanan: For an article I am writing, does anyone have any pithy quotes by Ceriani about ortho-reconstruction, preferably in Italian, please? (2023-08-10)
