19.592 (Jordan) Stünde der wSf4 auf e3, ginge 1.Sb2 Ke5 2.Sbc4+ Kf4 3.Sd5 matt. Nur, wie kommt der wSf4 nach e3? – Gar nicht! Nach einem eigenartigen Verfolgungsgalopp tauschen die wSS ihre Funktionen! 1.Sb2! (2.Sc4 matt) Ke5 2.Sfd3+ Kd6! 3.Sc4+ Kd5 4.Se3+ Kd6 5.Sb2! Ke5 6.Sbc4+ Kf4 7.Sd5 matt (4 P.). „Zweispringerspiel. Leider kein Mustermatt, was bei –wBf2 +sBg3 jedoch der Schlusspunkt wäre (gleiche Lösung C+)“ (VZ). „Die Reiterei bestimmt das Geschehen, wobei man genau hinschauen muss, um sich nicht zu vergaloppieren“ (HH). „Neckischer Tanz der wSS, witzig“ (BK).

Gunter Jordan: Der Kommentar von VZ ist falsch. Nach –wBf2, +sBg3 existiert genauso wenig ein Mustermatt, wie nach der Lösung der Diagrammposition. In dieser Matrix gibt es kein MM, da beide Springer im Mattbild e3 decken. (2022-06-13)
Felber, Volker: Schach 7/8 2022, Seite 121 unter "Zu früheren Aufgaben": 19.592 (Schach 02/2022, Gunter Jordan). Die von Volker Zipf vorgeschlagene Stellungsveränderung in der Lösungsbesprechung führt leider nicht, wie fälschlich behauptet, zu einem Mustermatt (2022-07-21)

„Die Variante 1. … Kc5 mit origineller Beseitigung der störenden Masse des weißen Bauerns auf b7 und zwei Damen-opfern finde ich ganz witzig. Das zweite Abspiel bietet noch eine Springer- und Turmumwandlung, wiederholt aber auch viele Züge der ersten Variante“ (Stephen Rothwell).
„Nur durch erstaunlich viele Unterverwandlungen kommt man zum Ziel“ (Claus Grupen)
