A.Buchanan: The whole point of this ornamental problem is the symmetry. Any correction must preserve that. How about getting rid of the 2 rooks and the g-h-file bishops, then shift wBe4 to a4? 8/2n5/4p3/4N3/BKPk4/4N3/4p3/2n5? (2022-12-16)

A.Buchanan: WinChloe doesn't think this problem is cooked at all. It says there are two full solutions, with "Echange de place de pièces noires entre les positions finales" i.e. Kb7 La8 vs Ka8 Lb7. WinChloe does not cover the (single) set play. Must the number of set plays normally match the number of full solutions? I will mark this problem HC+ uncooked. (2021-10-31)

A.Buchanan: Sorry: I never saw SCHRECKE's reply. This is very clean, and the witty idea now shines out. Although the difference between the two phases is one *Black* move, it's *White* who has the tempo play. (2021-04-30)
Adrian Storisteanu: Not quite. White in fact never plays a waiting move. In the set play Sh4 must move in order to protect h4, while 1...g3 in the solution is not tempo - a straight 2...g2-g4#? would not be mate: 3.hxg3e.p.!
In SCHRECKE's correction - Set play try: 1...Sg6? 2.what?? g4#; Set play: 1...Sf3! 2.g5 tempo g4#; Tries: 1.g6+? Sxg6 2.what?? g4#, 1.g5! Sg6/f3? 2.what?? g4#; Solution: 1.g5 g3! 2.gxh4 g4#. (2021-05-02)
A.Buchanan: There was a discussion in MatPlus a while back about tempo loss, which was the theme of a tourney. I entered with the same perspective as you. It's only tempo loss if the move could be replaced by a "what". But other folks said no that's not how tempo loss is usually seen: it's possible to have impure motivation, as we see here with the desire to avoid e.p. (2021-05-02)

Benkö in 'My Life': "Creating a double Queen sacrifice like this is quite an achievement, yet the judge in the Schach Echo helpmate contest didn't appreciate it and only awarded the problem an honorable mention. Later, this problem became one of the most popular examples of the bad judging that is so common in publications."
TLi: a) There are no sacrifices, only captures.
b) The wQ can be omitted without changing the solutions.

Bad judging, indeed! (2023-02-16)
