Ergänze wK, wT, 4wBB und 2sBB zu einem IC!

Zuvor 0-0+ illegal, da sLc5=Umwandlungsläufer! Umwandlung auf g1=L, Lf2+ Schach
play all play one stop play next play all
Bernd Schwarzkopf: In der Lösung muss es +wBd2 (statt e2) heißen; auf e2 steht im Diagramm schon ein wB. (2020-12-16)
A.Buchanan: @Bernd: I made the change you suggested, but having seen the result I think the original diagram was wrong, not the solution. In the diagram with just wKh1, sLc5 & one wB , the wB should be on d2 (or f2) not e2, in order to eliminate a cook. Otherwise, the final pawn can be on d2 or f2: both are ICs. (2020-12-17)
Henrik Juel: Andrew, the final pawn must be on d2, not f2
Without wPd2 last move could be Td8-d1+, so this position is no IC (2020-12-17)
A.Buchanan: Oh yes of course thanks. So what cooks does showing wBe2 in the diagram prevent? (2020-12-17)
Henrik Juel: I was asking myself the same question, Andrew
But there are so many IC's around that it is unadvisable to move Pe2 from the diagram to the stipulation list
We should have asked Hans, some 40 years ago... (2020-12-17)

Ergänze 1 Stein zu einem illegal cluster.
Wie viele Lösungen?
Kamikaze rex inklusive
Schlagschach
736.
play all play one stop play next play all
Henrik Juel: In Losing Chess the kings are not royal
In Kamikaze RI each capture removes one white and one black man
So the empty board is legal, and any position with one man (KDTLSP) is illegal
An Illegal Cluster is an illegal position that becomes legal when you remove any one non-king
My guess would be 2x6x64 = 768 or possibly 2x5x64 = 640
Where did I go wrong? (2020-07-12)
Henrik Juel: maybe 768 - 32 = 736
where 32 is the number of ways you can put a pawn on row 1 or 8 (2022-10-13)
A.Buchanan: In an “orthodox” illegal cluster, a pawn couldn’t be on the first or last rank unless it was the only non-king unit. There’s probably no principle to cover this rather dull corner-case KPvK. Ask HG! (2022-10-14)
A.Buchanan: And in orthodoxy, do two adjacent kings constitute an illegal cluster? There are no non-king units to remove, so the condition is vacuously satisfied (2022-10-14)
Henrik Juel: On your last comment, Andrew:
Two adjacent kings do not constitute an IC. The position is illegal, and when you remove any non-king you get the same illegal position (2022-10-14)
A.Buchanan: Define that a box is SAFE if it contains no radioactive objects. So is every empty box safe? Yes! :-) (2022-10-14)

A.Buchanan: What's the idea? If it's a length record, can't we shift all the pieces up and put wK on a1 to increase the solution length by one. (2022-03-15)
SCHRECKE: Andrew, it's look like an "A" for "Annemarie". (2022-03-15)
Henrik Juel: This is not the best-looking A, I have seen, so it should not be Keyword'ed Letter problem
Incidentally, the problem can also be tested by Popeye, in a flash (2022-03-15)
A.Buchanan: Thanks all! Letter A must be the concept, although I must admit I didn't see it. It's certainly closer to A than any other letter (excepting the Cyrillic alphabet) to it would be churlish to refuse it the keyword. I hope that, in the unlikely event that Hans ever dedicated a letter problem to me, he would use a less wispy font :) (2022-03-16)

shankar ram: Series Draw in 4 moves (Draw by repetition rule not applicable)! (2023-04-08)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Shankar, I could translate the stipulation. But now the penny has dropped that it means reach a drawing position, not a draw. But normally after ser-goal in n moves, it is formally Black to move. E.g. ser-# in n, or ser-= in n. But here, the rule is broken: it's White to move to sneak a 5th move in. After 4. c6 with Black to move as usual, there is 4. ... Qh3+/Qh7+. So I think it should be ser-draw in 5. I will mark it as a study as well as fairies. (2023-04-08)

Die Autoren schreiben:
Correction:
Problemkiste, Issue 91, Februar 1994, Seite 128, Abteilung Bemerkungen & Berichtigungen
"Nr. 3212 [sic!] v.Gruber/Müller: wie HG mitteilt muß die Bedingung "KAMIKAZE REX INCLUSIV" heißen, nicht Kamikaze-Circe rex inclusiv. Letzteres wäre nicht nur ein Zuviel an Bedingungen, sondern auch noch UL, weil da auch 31-steinige Stellungen möglich sind."
Dieser Eintrag wird also mit der Korrektur aktualisiert!
Erich Bartel: Das war ein schöner Tag am 21.8.1993 bei Hans Gruber zusammen mit Frank Müller und ich bedanke mich recht herzlich für die Widmung, die mir ausgezeichnet schmeckt, fast so gut wie der super delikate Original-Zwetschgendatschi von Hansens Mutter!!!(\eb) (2007-03-04)
A.Buchanan: I don't get this: please can someone explain (2020-12-09)
Henrik Juel: Under the Kamikaze-Circe condition, where both captured and capturing man are reborn after a capture, the initial game array is legal, but removing one man gives an illegal position, so the IGA is a legal cluster
I have no info about the super delicate original Zwetschgendatschi from Hansen's mother (2020-12-09)
A.Buchanan: Hi Henrik, please clarify the rules for the middle part. Why is e.g. 1. a4 b5 axb5[sBb7] with the white pawn disappearing because it can't be reborn on occupied b2? Is it because the rebirth square for capturer is taken to be the start square not the end square of the move? That seems unlikely because I read in PDB that promotion counts before capturer's rebirth. The other possibility is that capture is illegal if the capturer cannot be reborn, but that seems inconsistent with the spirit of Kamikaze. Normally in Circe, a captured piece doesn't come back if the rebirth square is occupied. That surely would still apply here. Glossary is silent on all this. Thanks! (2020-12-09)
Henrik Juel: I think you are right, Andrew, so the IGA is not a legal cluster under Kamikaze-Circe, and the problem is cooked
In the more serious matter at hand, Zwetschgendatschi means plum cake... (2020-12-09)
A.Buchanan: I can't believe that serious fairy heavyweights such as were engaged in this problem would have made something cooked. And I still don't know what K-C actually is. I will ask HG. Maybe he has some comments on plum cake too? :-) (2020-12-09)
A.Buchanan: Henrik has also been copied on an email from Hans Gruber which states in part:
"The problem by Frank and me (PDB: P1013968) is cooked - the intended solution does not work, because the initial game array is NOT a legal cluster under Kamikaze-Circe rex inclusive. Of course this was unavoidable, as dedication problems always are unsound. We should have known that before but did not see in-how-far we were wrong. It is good to learn about that a bit more than a quarter of a century after. I dare to state, without consulting Frank, that there will be no correction to the problem. The basic idea "initial game array = legal cluster" just does not work." (2020-12-09)
Arnold Beine: Perhaps the problem can be fixed by changing the fairy condition into "Platzwechselcirce rex inklusiv". Then every position with 31 pieces is illegal and the IGA should be legal. (2020-12-09)
Henrik Juel: The problem can probably be saved just by changing the condition to Strict Kamikaze-Circe RI (2020-12-09)
A.Buchanan: What is the exact rule for Kamikaze-Circe please? And how does strict differ? (2020-12-09)
Henrik Juel: In Kamikaze-Circe, as part of a capture, the capturer is reborn if its rebirth square is empty (otherwise it vanishes), and the captured is reborn if its rebirth square is empty (otherwise it vanishes). The rebirth squares are the standard Circe ones (based on the capture square).
Strict Kamikaze-Circe additionally stipulates that a capture is possible only when both rebirth squares are empty; so the piece count never changes (2020-12-09)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Henrik: that doesn't sound very "strict" Kamikaze, sounds like "no-sharp-edges video-game" Kamikaze, where no-one actually can get hurt :) Regular Kamikaze RI is trivially a legal cluster, no? And more interestingly, ordinary Kamikaze is a legal cluster too, because if just one piece is removed, that must have been captured by the *other* king, who is still stuck in his cage. That would be my suggested fix (2020-12-10)
Henrik Juel: Yes, any condition where 31 men cannot occur in a game would do
I chose strict K-C, because that was the most simple change to K-C (2020-12-10)
A.Buchanan: Strict K-C RI the number of pieces for each side must always be the same. K RX you can certainly have 31 pieces on the board but not in game array position. It’s still very simplistic but it’s a bit more subtle (2020-12-10)

Die erste Lösung ist logisch: Der Hauptplan kann noch nicht gespielt werden, da der sBc3 noch gefesselt ist. Dieser wird im Vorplan entfesselt. Die zweite Lösung hätte auf Kosten eines Steines eingespart werden können; obzwar sie nicht neudeutsch-logisch ist, trägt sie aber doch zum Inhalt bei: Opferwechsel von Dame und Turm, Deckungswechsel der Türme.
In der Lösungsbesprechung (VIII-IX 2000) erschien eine Version (s. ,u.).
