Informalturnier 1986 Rest, Preisrichter Gerhard E. Schoen, Preisbericht f-94 S. 252
Eine unscheinbare Stellung mit erstklassisch tückischem Lösungsverlauf, der eine SLTTD-Umwandlung mit Idealmatt als Thema zeigt. Vergleicht man dieses Problem mit ähnlichen aus der Glanzzeit dieses Genres, den frühen siebziger Jahren, dann erkennt man erst diese Leichtigleit der ausgefeilten Darstellung, ohne dabei Komplexität und Lösungsschwierigkeit zu vermissen (G.E.Schoen).

Author's Note: Black can play d3, b5, gxf5, and h2 in any order, with corresponding White promotions as replies, giving all 24 permutations of White AUW (LSDT, LDST, etc.). If Black plays g5 instead of gxf5, then White replies fxg5 instead of promoting to D. A white pawn added at g5 would eliminate this pesky variation, but the white pawns are all used up!
SCHRECKE: Unlösbar, eventuell fehlt ein wBf4. (2020-10-28)
A.Buchanan: Mark Kirtley wrote to me: George found the original issue of the U.S. Problem Bulletin, showed me, and yes, there is a wPf4 in the original. George and I couldn't remember why we also had a wPa2, but a new computer test (Gustav) showed us the reason: it guards against a major dual Rh1-a1 in some variations.
There is still a minor dual in some variations (of varying length) if the bP promotes to a Q at h1, for then wRh8-h6+, bQh1xh6, and wQe6+ and bQxe6#. (2020-11-11)
A.Buchanan: So I have corrected the confirmed diagram typo (2020-11-11)
A.Buchanan: Have posted a simplified representation of the solution, at the author's request (2021-01-27)
Henrik Juel: So the problem is C+, except for the minor dual mentioned (2021-01-27)

Henrik Juel: In the position after 30.Sa2, the last white move must have been b2-b4, allowing the ep capture. This is permitted by the stipulation's c (= consequential), requiring that all intermediate positions are legal.
The content is all-promotion plus one D-promotion.
The retro content is very small, but traditionally consequential series movers are considered to be retro problems (2014-09-07)

A.Buchanan: If I've got it right, consequential sm is more than just asking that intermediate positions are legal. It involves at every move potentially a complete recalculation of rights. In regular sm and Alsatian fairy conditions, rights carry over from one move to the next. In Alsatian fairy conditions, all positions must be legal. Is this correct? (2022-07-12)
Henrik Juel: Yes, I think you are right, Andrew (2022-07-12)

Vaclav Kotesovec: This problem was a good test of the new version of Gustav 4.2c by Olaf Jenkner. A year ago with version 4.2a it was not possible to test it. Now my computer with 384 GB of RAM solved this problem in 357 hours. A great result at the limit of the possibilities of current computers and software. (2023-03-10)

Vaclav Kotesovec: A year ago I tried to solve this problem with Gustav 4.2a, but after 8 days I had to stop testing, the estimated time was into the thousands of hours. Now, with the new version 4.2c (thank you, Olaf!) I was able to use the entire 384 GB memory on my computer and after more than 117 hours was possible the full test of this problem. It is correct! Fantastic result at the limit of current computing and software capabilities! (2023-02-14)

Judge Hans Gruber (StrateGems 79/2017, p.158-161): "A great achievement: six queen promotions in a fantastic open position. The white king is mobile, the white pieces capture only twice. Only recently, the first author published a problem featuring seven queen promotions in Ser.S#, but the play in C0571 is much better and deeper."
Anton Baumann: gemäss Diagramm unlösbar: 10.Dd2+ nicht ausführbar!
Möglicherweise fehlt sSc2! Bitte prüfen (2020-03-27)
Mario Richter: Das Diagramm im Preisbericht hat einen wBc2.
Interessanterweise ist das Problem trotz des Co-Autors Kotesovec dort als "C-" markiert - da gibt's also noch was zu testen, Anton ... :-) (2020-03-27)
Vaclav Kotesovec: The position is now correct, but full computer test of this problem is not possible. (2020-08-24)

'The Problemist' 07/2016, p. 420: "Plausible tries 1.d8R?, 1.b6? – the Pb5 shields both horizontally and diagonally. An alternative setting with Pb7 on b6 (in 34 moves) would include the try 1.d8Q? (Composer). Really wonderful, with wPb5 timing its moves exquisitely to shield bK – surely a prizewinner in due course (CCL [aka C.C. Lytton] – whose credentials to comment include previously holding the record at 4 queens)."
Stephen Emmerson in 'The Problemist': "George’s F3272 is a formidable promotion task for which the only hint I’ll give is that the wK does not move."
