A.Buchanan: Popeye v4.87 (via Olive v1.4 ) for PDB problem P0003325 h#5 delivers the correct solution with en passant set to f2f3f4. However no solution when the "intelligent" flag is also set. Reported to Popeye Github. (2021-11-23)
Henrik Juel: Popeye 4.61 with 'opt var int enp f3' works fine
Maybe you just have to change f2f3f4 to f3, Andrew (2021-11-23)
A.Buchanan: Thanks for the suggestion, Henrik, but even without the "intelligent", opti vari enpa f3 fails with v4.87. I think that the syntax has been rendered more complicated since v4.61 in order to support fancy fairy en passants. (2021-11-23)

Vor Kf7-e8 geschah Bg6xh7, deshalb muß zuerst einer der sB durch Umwandlung eliminiert werden.

In der Diagrammstellung haben die Bauern jeweils alle fehlenden gegnerischen Steine geschlagen:
W: Bdxexfxgxh, Baxbxa (oder Bcxbxa)
S: Bfxg, Bdxcxb, Bexdxcxb, Bbxa

Nach 1. Kf7? oder 1. Kf8 2. Kg7 3. Kg6 hätte W jeweils keinen letzten Zug. (R: h3-h4 sperrt den Th1 aus, der aber auch zu den Schlagopfern der sBB gehörte).
Also muß im Vorwärtsspiel zunächst eine Stellung mit geänderter Schlagbilanz erreicht werden.
Der Versuch 1. Kf8 2.Kg8 3. Kxh7 4. Kg6 5. Kh5 6. Kxh4? - aber nun hat W keinen letzten Zug - zeigt, daß der wBh7 erhalten bleiben muß, also muß die virtuelle Rücknahme h2,h3-h4 ermöglicht werden. Dies geschieht durch "Elimination" des Bc7, indem dieser auf c1 umwandelt. Bei einem sUW-Lc1 würden weiterhin 7 sBB-Schläge erforderlich sein, sUW-Dc1 oder sUW-Tc1 böten Schach, sodaß nur ein sUW-Sc1 übrig bleibt.
Nach 1. c5 2. c4 3. c3 4. c2 5. c1=S 6. Kf7 hat W nun h2,h3-h4 als Rücknahmemöglichkeit, weil nun der wTh1 nicht mehr notwendig als Schlagobjekt benötigt wird.
Henrik Juel (PDB 2021-09-15): This is one of the few shc#'s without ep capture and/or castling
Henrik Juel: I don't agree entirely with you comment, James; this seems clearer:
1.Kf7? does not work, because now White has no last move ([Th1] was captured by a pawn)
1.Kf8 2.Kg7 3.Kg6? fails for the same reason
After 5.c1=S 6.Kf7 last move was h3-h4 or h2-h4
This is one of the few shc#'s without ep capture and/or castling (2021-09-15)
James Malcom: Henrik, what comment of mine? I merely edit swapped some text. (2021-09-15)
Henrik Juel: OK, so it was probably Gerd who wrote it in 1998; the early updates are no longer available, when you click on 'more...'
The german text roughly translates to:
Pg6xh7 happened before Kf7-e8, so first one of the black pawns must be eliminated by promotion.
I still like my comment better... (2021-09-15)

Aber nach 11. Lh1 kann Weiß auch g2xLh3 zurücknehmen!
Cook: gxsLh3!
Henrik Juel: 1.d5-d4-d3-d2-d1B-b3xa2-c4-f1 10.Bg2-h1 12.fxg3ep+?? fxg3# seems to fail, because after 11.Bh1 last move could be g2xh3. So what is the solution? (2003-04-28)
Thierry LE GLEUHER: After 11.Bh1, the last move can't be g2xh3 because of the promoted Bishop h1 imcompatible with the bP structure! (2005-09-25)
Henrik Juel: Why couldn't Black have a promoted bishop at this point in time (where wPa2 and bPd7 are no longer present)? 12 captures by black pawns seem to match the 12 missing white men. (2005-09-26)
Joost de Heer: Besides, after g2-g4, the black bishop must've been promoted too. (2005-09-30)
James Malcom: Henrik, gxh3 is indeed impossible. The last move sequence must go something like 1. Kfg8 Se2+ 2. Kh2 Sg1. There cannot be a knight on h3, cutting off g8, or a queen/rook, cutting off h2. Thus, gxh3 has already been played and g2-g4 is the last move. (2021-09-14)
Mario Richter: Position after 11. Lh1 is 8/5p2/8/5ppp/5pPk/5p1P/5P1K/6nb.
It can be easily shown, that in this position g2xLh3! is indeed a legal retraction.
So the ep-capture is not justified and the problem is cooked!
(Perhaps Thierry forgot, that black pawn d7 "disappeared"? But Joost's argument raises [correctly] the question, why a promoted Bishop on h1 is ok for g2-g4, but not for g2xLh3.) (2021-09-15)
Henrik Juel: So the good guys (Mario, Joost, and me) win over the bad ones (Thierry and James) by 3-2... (2021-09-15)
Henrik Juel: or, less insultingly:
By a majority of 3 to 2 this problem has been deemed cooked (2021-09-15)

The interest here is in the try 5. h1=T? 6. Th8, when, in a game to that position, the sK or sT must have moved to let out Ta8 to be captured (0-0?). The solution is a surprise, involving castling round the cylinder instead.

Die Nachtwächterin sDh1 ist in einigen Nachdrucken weggelassen.

Sally: Hier kämpft sich der w. Bauer d2, von der 2 Reihe mit Pauken und Trompeten bis zur achten Reihe, um sich dort in einen Springer umzuwandeln. Die s. Dame h1 nachtwächtert!
In manchen Aufgaben ist sie gar nicht abgebildet, soll wahrscheinlich die Lösung erschweren.

Henrik Juel: Poul Rasch Nielsen died in 1965, so the 1997 publication must be a version from 1951.
His mother may have called him Anker, but he never used that first name himself; in fact, his author name was P. Rasch Nielsen. Very nice problem, by the way
A.Buchanan: (1) left-right reprint deleted, simply listed in Reprints here
(2) Henrik's comment copied across
(3) "Anker" removed from author record
(4) Separately, duplicate author record discovered & deleted
(5) 33 problems credited to the duplicate re-assigned to the original
Yes it's a very nice tanagra, with festina lente, accurate timing (to cover d6) and precise promotions to D & T. (2024-02-03)
Henrik Juel: Thanks for your clean-up operations, Andrew, here and elsewhere in the PDB
It is a Herculean task, but every bit helps (2024-02-03)

HBae: Quelle Schwalbe kann ich nicht überprüfen. Besitze aber das Originalheft von problem (133-135) 02/1970 mit Preisbericht von Preisrichter Peter Kniest. Demnach erhielt die Aufgabe mit Nr. 2451 von H. Selb (Stellung nochmal in typis) die 3. ehr. Erwähnung. (2011-01-29)
Frank Müller: In Die Schwalbe 07/1965 Seite 153 ff. publizierte Hans Selb einen Artikel "Doppel-Längstzüger im Rampenlicht". Darin ist auch diese Aufgabe mit der Nr. (7) als Urdruck enthalten. Gleichzeitig wurde das 139. Thematurnier (Doppel-Längstzüger) ausgeschrieben.
Typischer Fall von Doppelveröffentlichung.
Ürbigens, die korrekte Quelle in problem ist: 2451 problem 09/1966. (2011-01-29)
Gunter Jordan: In feenschach, Heft 1, 01/1971, Seite 23, ist die Aufgabe nachgedruckt worden. Über dem Diagramm steht: H. S., 3. ehr. Erwähnung, Problem 1967. Aber um das Durcheinander mit diesem Selbstplagiat perfekt zu machen: Die Aufgabe ist nebenlösig!

Nur die doppelte SS-Unterverwandlung führt zum Ziel. Ein verrücktes und sehr gutes Problem! (GJ).
Originell und witzig (HB).
Das 1000-Pfennig-Problem!? Wozu der sBa2? BBa2-b1 verbietet sich im Gitterschach! (MS)
... was wohl richtig ist, aber Ba2 steht, genauso wie seine Kollegen c2/e2 deswegen da, damit der sBBd7 nicht in 5 Zügen nach dort-a2/c2/e2- kommt und somit dem UW-Zwang entgeht. Also ganz dem Kommentar von HB entsprechend. \eb.
Auf den Spuren von 100 Dollar, aber da hätte ich noch einen Vorschlag, meint Theo (TS) und legt das Diagramm M bei. Und für MN ist das ein feines 100$-Problem. Zugleich frägt er nach, ob man sich jetzt das Gitter selbst reinmalen soll. --
Lieber Manfred, das war natürlich Absicht! Ich wollte, das Du auch mal zu Deiner körperlichen Fitness den Pinsel schwingst. Du weißt schon: mens sana in corpore sano ... oder so änlich (\eb).
