Insgesamt "viel guter Durchschnitt" (WoW), aber leider nur sehr wenige Löserstimmen - bitte wieder etwas aktiver kommentieren. Über die Zahl der Löser kann ich diesmal leider keine Angaben machen, da ich vom LO nur die Einsendungen der kommentierenden Löser erhalten habe.

(E. Backe) begeisterte das Publikum - HHS: "Eine Fülle von Feinersonnenem... und auch die Suche, warum anderes Mehrversprechendes nicht geht, und was die Chinesen auf a6 und b4 sollen, macht zusätzlichen Spaß." "Phantastisch" (AGr) 1.PAd7! Sb3 2.Lh4 Nd4#, 1.- Sc4 2.PAd3 Dd5#, 1.- Sc6 2.d3 Tc5#, 1.- Sb7 2.Ng2 Lc6# - HMo: "Und wo der sS auch hingeht, stoppt er die Mattfigur!" "Nachdem der sS jeweils den Maximalweg der potentiellen Mattfiguren eingeschränkt hat, antwortet W mit doppelzweckigen Zweitzügen; nicht nur entfesseln sie die Mattsteine, sondern schalten auch noch andere Verteidiger bzw. sich selbst aus!" (MS) "Von den fünf sFiguren sind vier gefesselt, die nach den Springerhalbradzügen von W entfesselt werden und matt setzten, wobei W zweimal seinen Nachtreiter verstellen muß." (RobS) Kritik kam nur vom Autor selber: "I regret the use of chinese pieces in the problem, but it was the only way I was able to control the black officers." Als Autor ärgert man sich häufig über die Sachen, die nicht zur vollen Zufriedenheit gelungen sind - meist Sachen, die der Löser dann gar nicht mitbekommt... 15L/5P/3.3/II-III

(M. Manhart & F. Pachl). HHS: "Der sK ist von seiner Gefolgschaft zu gut bewacht, als daß bei allem Wohlwollen ein einfaches Heranpirschen oder Unterwandern zum Ziele führen könnte. Ein madrasitypisches Doppelschach muß her. Die gedankliche Verknüpfung zwischen den 3 Einleitungszügen (die mir letztendlich auch zur Lösung verhalf) ist einziger Trumpf und Triumph von Madame Circe - danach verblassen ihre Künste, und Zyklik in W und Schw. beherrschen das Gesamtbild. Ich kann solchem komplizierten Konstruktionen den schuldigen Respekt nicht versagen, aber - trotz oder wegen der Schwierigkeit - Meine Liebe haben sie nicht." a) 1.D:h6[+wNh8] Td4 2.Td6 N:d6[+sTh8]#, b) 1.T:a5[+wDd1] Nf2 2.Ng4 D:g4[+sNg1]#, c) 1.N:d7[+wTh1] Db4 2.De1 T:e1[+sDd8]# - "da durchzusteigen, war kein leichtes geschäft, immerhin hat sich die mühe gelohnt. die 3fach-setzung ist recht spektakulär."

Task: die weiße Heuschrecke setzt auf 6 Feldern matt. Das Drohmatt ist schwer zu sehen, da Schwarz zunächst dieses Feld viermal überdeckt.

MR, der übrigens mit 4/II-III wertete, beschreibt das dargestellte Thema: jedem der vier wThemasteine ist ein Nachbarfeld des sK zugeordnet, welches er ganz allein deckt. In jeder Phase wird jeweils eines dieser Felder durch einen sStein geblockt, der unterwegs zufällig jene Themafigur schlägt, deren Deckungsaufgabe der in Forsberg-Manier sein Kleid wechselnde Stein auf f1 übernimmt. Der Superschnittpunkt T/L/N/(G) ist mir bereits aus einem feenschach-Serienzüger von P.A. Petkov bekannt, der mit einem ähnlich komplexen Zyklus einen Preis errang. Ich wüßte keinen Grund, warum es diesem reichhaltigen Hilfsmatt anders ergehen sollte.

#1
Ohneschach
sSU=Nachtreiter
1. Td8-e8#
1. Th8-e8+?
play all play one stop play next play all
Weiß kann in einem Zug mattsetzen: 1. Td8-e8#, weil jeder Gegenzug nur Schach bietet und daher verboten ist, etwa 1. ... Ke5-d5+ 2. Kd7-e7.
Wie sieht es aber mit dem Zug 1. Th8-e8+ aus? Weiß behauptet, dieser Zug setzt matt.
Schwarz weist diesen Zug jedoch als unzulässig zurück, weil er nur Schach bietet, und antwortet 1. ... Ke5-d5#.
Weiß wiederum erklärt diesen Zug für unerlaubt und zieht 2. Kd7-e7#
Schwarz entgegnet mit 2. ... Kd5-e5#, Weiß erwidert mit 3. Ke7-d7#, und da jetzt die Stellung nach dem ersten Zug wieder erreicht ist, kann man das beliebig fortsetzen.
G. RINDER entdeckte eine Lücke in der Ohneschach-Definition ["Die Schwalbe" 1, 10/1969, S.9-10].
Dabei entsteht eine unendliche Schleife, so daß in endlich vielen Schritten nicht entscheidbar ist, ob die Bedingung erfüllt ist. RINDER schlägt vor die Ohneschach-Bedingung zu ergänzen:
"Es sind nur solche den gegnerischen König angreifenden Züge zulässig, bei denen in einer 'endlichen' Zahl von Zügen bewiesen werden kann, daß es sich um einen Mattzug handelt."

Joost de Heer: Solution 2 and 3 are the same after 6 moves.
As far as I know the length record for an exact move sequence with Haaner chess, P0007610 is longer but isn't exact. (2022-08-03)

Von einer solch üppigen Stellung muss (und darf bei dem Autor) ein üppiger Inhalt erwartet werden: Zyklisch auf die schwarze Umwandlung umwandelnd vollendet Weiß den Märchenbabson, der sofort von Schwarz mit einem Königsstern beantwortet und schliesslich durch den Pattzug der Umwandlungsfigur abgerundet wird. Madrasi macht dieses Programm möglich.

Asymmetry, but not very striking because of the proximity to the a-line
Still a very nice problem, which is solvable by hand (2021-02-07)
A.Buchanan: Nice to have an empty board for the nightriders to canter around in unblocked. That they are line pieces makes the uniqueness of the solution even more impressive. Someone must have already done tablebase for this endgame (2021-02-08)

What was Black's last move? It can only have been Kg6-h5, fleeing check. But what was White's prior move: it could only have been a fairy piece moving to h5 from the diagonal c2-f5, discovering check. Then this piece was captured by bK. What kind of piece was it? The idea is that for each feasible piece, there should be exactly one corresponding promotion mate.

1) Camel = (1,3)-Leaper
2) Eagle
3) Gazelle = (3-5)-Leaper
4) Giraffe Quintessence = right-angle turn Girafferider, Giraffe = (1,4)-Leaper
5) Greater Leafhopper
6) Greater Treehopper
7) Nightrider
8) Quintessence = right-angle turn Nightrider
9) Rookhopper

Minor duals, where both solutions are separately provided elsewhere:
1) Gnurider
2) Marguerite = Eagle+Grasshopper+Hamster+Moose+Sparrow, only the first two sub-creatures are used)

Tries:
1)It looks as if one might rotate the board 180 degrees: 1. Bb3#! Not 1. b3+? Kxa3!
The position is legal because e.g. R: 1. g8=B+.
However this doesn't work because it's not thematic :)
2) It looks as if R: 1. Kg6-h5 c2-c3+ might be good. Who's to say in a fairy form that wL can't begin on b1? Well if you can show me a fairy piece which can throw other pieces around the board, then let's consider it, but fairy conditions are excluded here, for sanity's sake.

Would be cooks - but the soundness is protected by the halo of PPRA :)

AB: See P0001924. Bedrich Formanek is happy with his problem, but welcomes a larger zoo.

I think this is a kind of PRA problem (although PRA is defined currently only for castling and ep). A PRA problem is regarded has having one solution with many parts. So maybe that points the way how to stipulate the problem. The joke version PRA (= Partial PRA) says that PRA applies to all the parts that it does, but not to the others, particularly those with no solution).

It's clear that there are more pieces which would solve the problem. Why not Gnurider or Gazellerider instead of Gnu or Gazelle? Why not Gnurider instead of Nightrider? Etc. Why not Grasshopper instead of Rookhopper? The PRA notion would prevent these from cooking the problem: each is indeed a separate part. As long as whatever was just captured can be uniquely reborn to deliver mate, the problem is sound. The published solution shows the most basic representative piece for each of the patterns, with no unused capability.

As a PRA problem, if a kind of fairy piece might legitimately have been captured on h5, yet does not offer a mating promotion, that would make the problem unsound. And indeed there are two such creatures known: Dabbaba and Lancer. However fortunately we are working with the looser PPRA meta-convention which only applies where it applies.

In earlier versions, the eagle was considered a try, but actually I think it implied an insoluble PRA part, but fortunately could be fixed.
Henrik Juel: if last move was Kg6xGh5, 1.gxh8=G#
if last move was Kg6xYh5 (Y=1,3-S=Camel), 1.g8=Y#
if last move was Kg6xYh5 (Y=rookhopper), 1.gxh8=Y# (This looks like a cook)
if last move was Kg6xYh5 (Y=5,3-S), 1.c8=Y#
if last move was Kg6xNh5, 1.b8=N# (2021-06-20)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Henrik - as discussed: I don’t think Rookhopper is a cook, but is a separate part of the PRA solution. Maybe it’s the fundamental solution and Grasshopper is the one with unneeded additional functionality but Grasshopper is the more common one. Nice for some of these unfamiliar creatures to get some exposure... (2021-06-20)

A.Buchanan: There are several effects happening. Firstly W1 is a pure tempo move. Secondly W2 occupies the start square of the Black knight. So any improvement would have to retain these features. bR efficiently blocks passage of wS to/from c8 while guarding d3, eliminating about 10 duals. (2023-07-29)
