1. Kd4 2. bxc3ep (zuletzt nur K,T-Zug oder c2-c4) 3. e5! (nicht 4. Tb4? weil zuletzt K,T-Zug und 0-0-0 nicht mehr möglich) 4. Tb4 (zuletzt e7xLd8=S möglich) 5. Tc4 & 1. 0-0-0# nicht 1. Td1#? wegen fehlender AP-Legalisierung
play all play one stop play next play all
"das zeigt die Paradoxie der AP-Bedingung!" (MS). Gleich 1. bxc3 ep.? und dann 2. Kd4 geht natürlich nicht, weil zuvor außer K,T-Zug und c2-c4 auch S-Züge und c3-c4 möglich waren. "Interessanter und genau abgestimmter Lösungsverlauf" (GW) "Sehr schöne und ökonomische Verbindung zwischen konsequentem sh# und AP!" (TB) Mit 'Typ Tauber/Caillaud' ist gemeint, daß die einzelnen Stellungen doch als retroanlytischer Gesamtkomplex betrachtet werden dürfen/sollen (sonst wäre keine AP-Legalisierung möglich), obwohl sie ja aufgrund der retroanalytischen Neubewertung nach jedem Rückzug voneinander unabhängig sind. 6L./5+5P.
A.Buchanan: "By 'type Tauber/Caillaud' it is meant that the individual positions may/should be regarded as a retroanalytic overall complex (otherwise no AP legalization would be possible), although they are independent of each other due to the retroanalytic reassessment after each retraction."

Wenn die beiden Könige noch nicht gezogen haben (was a.p. durch Ausführung beider Rochaden bewiesen wird!), kann der letzte Zug nur g7-g5 gewesen sein, Sonst ginge z.B. auch R: 1. Kd8-e8 c2xDb3

Michel Caillaud: The problem is not cooked as indicated, as under A Posteriori convention both castles must be played in the solution to justify the en passant key. (2022-02-04)

Gerald Ettl: 1.h8D# (2023-04-03)
Gerald Ettl: die Stellung loest sich auf indem der sK nach b1 - g8 wandert und dann Sg5 weg zieht. Der wK kommt ueber g5 raus. (2023-04-03)
Michel Caillaud: The original stipulation is #1 (durch wen?).
As wPe2 cannot be captured on its file, the 4 white captures for 4 Pawns to promote to Knights are (a2)xb3, (e2)xf3 and (f2)xg3 2 times, and wPb2 was captured on its file by (Dd8)xb6.
As b3-b2 (before (a2xb3)) and c7-c6 (before (Dd8)xb6) cannot be immediately retracted, only bK and wSs can play the last moves.
As indicated by Gerald, bK has to go to g8 to unlock the position, freeing bSg5.
When Ka3-a2 is retracted, previous white move places the 6 white Knights on black squares; the resulting Retro-Opposition implies that black is to play in the diagram position.

h#1 (wer? wie?)
Die F.P.I. wurde zweimal erreicht: das erstemal nach einer geraden, das zweitemal nach einer ungeraden Anzahl von Zügen.
Vertikaler Zylinder
Henrik Juel: The FPI (the initial array, but with Black to move) may be reached, e.g., by playing the white knights out, playing Ta1 to b1 and Th1 to g1, then correct the tempo by playing Tb1-a1-h1-b1, and finally moving rooks and knights back into the initial array.
The stipulation condition implies that all four castlings are illegal. Solution: 1.Txa7 Txh8#, not 1.0-0-0? Tc1 nor 0... 0-0-0? 1.Tc8. I do not see any tries involving king-side castling, although they would be nice to have also. (2010-12-08)
A.Buchanan: I am evidently being slow again: please explain. "The FPI was achieved twice: the first time after an even number of moves, the second time after an odd number of moves." To achieve FPI requires an odd number of single moves. Should the stip read "even number of *White* moves"? And then what does it mean to achieve FPI for the *second* time: does that mean game array with White to move again? I agree that the bottom line is to have eliminated all castling rights. (2020-12-25)
Henrik Juel: In P0001272 the FPI was reached once, implying that either White or Black has lost castling rights
I also do not understand this problem (2020-12-26)
Hans-Jürgen Manthey: da der lezte Zug b5x~a6 bzw b4x~a3 gewesen sein kann, sind alle Rochaden, sowie die Farbwahl zulässig.
Oder kann mir mal einer erklären was zum Teufel F.P.I. auf Deutsch heißt ?? (2020-12-26)
A.Buchanan: Siehe die Beschreibung des Schlüsselworts. Aber hier macht es nicht viel Sinn. Ich veröffentliche in ein paar Tagen einen Artikel in Problemas, der besser erklärt und einige neue Beispiele enthält. (2020-12-27)
Hans-Jürgen Manthey: Habe mich über F.P.I. schlau gemacht und FPI, Vertikale Zylinder sowie viele weitere Märchenschach-Bedingungen sind alsolut nicht mein Fall... (2020-12-28)
A.Buchanan: @H-JM: Ich bin kein großer Fan von Feenschach, aber es hat seinen Platz in der Welt der Komposition. Es vervielfacht den Gestaltungsraum für Schachkompositionen erheblich, und viele coole künstlerische Effekte können nur mit Feenschach erzielt werden. FPI ist bislang kein gutes Beispiel: Aber die zugrunde liegende Idee ist gut und reif für eine breitere Nutzung. (2020-12-28)
Henrik Juel: My goodness, Andrew, you are approaching Mario's command of all languages...
I believe, however, that Feenschach is an old-fashioned name for Märchenschach
It came about as a literal translation of Fairy Chess, but now lives on only in the magazine name feenschach
We did almost the same in Denmark: feskak in the 1930s, but now fantasiskak (2020-12-28)
A.Buchanan: Hi Henrik: thanks for your kind feedback. I try to draft in German, and then back translate in google translate to English to see what it thinks, and then go forwards again to correct dumb errors and give me better word choices. But there's still errors, which I am always keen to hear about, so thanks for reminding me about Märchenschach. I now understand that Märchen are "fairy tales" not "fairies" and that the term is used in English by folklorists. Encyclopedia Britannica characterizes them by: "Their usual theme is the triumph over difficulty, with or without supernatural aid, of the one least likely to succeed." I like the detail at the end, which suggests that the key move should be an unlikely one! (2020-12-29)
Henrik Juel: I had three years of german in middle school, but never used the language actively
I believe that most german problemists can read english as well as we can read german, so I do not make the extra effort to communicate in german; besides remembering to capitalize nouns, I would have to check masculinum, femininum, or neutrum (gender?), and check which prepositions entail accusative, dative, or both (kasus?)

The cluster of tries: Kh2-g1-f1-e1-d2-...-e8 0-0-0 Td7 is 12 moves: just too long.
In the diagram, e.p. is not permitted because last move might be g3-g4. So first shift sK to h4. Following the e.p., check that wK does now have prior move: Kf4-f3. Now sK scampers to e8 where through consequent forgetfulness it recovers castling rights.

Henrik Juel: The intention may be 1.dxc3ep 2.Kxb5xc6-d7-e8 6.0-0 Rh8#, but -1.Kb2 seems possible. Should bBc1 be moved to a3? (2003-04-28)
GW: Yes, that's the solution, and the problem seems indeed to be cooked. I don't know if it has been corrected. (2003-04-28)
James Malcom: I believe that the intent was that the sLc1 must be the orginal one, and thus an impediment to wK foreplay, as the wBc6 "must" have captured the e7 Black pawn on its way from f2. The problem is that it can take the alternative path fxsLf3xDe3xTc5-c6, and there are enough White pieces to capture for the Black b pawn to make it d2 and for the d pawn to make it to c2. (2021-09-14)

Im orthodoxen Schach hat Schwarz keinen letzten Zug. Schwarz muß deshalb im letzten Zug eine Märchenfigur entschlagen haben. Und sehen P1390927
Henrik Juel: something is wrong here: the claimed mates are not even checks
also, the stipulation should probably be something like
Black and White retract, then #1 (2021-04-30)
A.Buchanan: Yes the problem was the word "dann" which indicates help retractor. The retro is just justification for the forward moves, showing that the relevant fairy piece existed earlier in the game so can be promoted to. What's the name of that principle? (2021-05-01)
Henrik Juel: Thanks for the clarification, Andrew
I think that this principle should remain unnamed and just stay in the joke realm (2021-05-01)
A.Buchanan: Sorry not to be clear: I am talking about the standard fairy principle that if you want to promote to a Princess, there should be one on the problem diagram. Not talking about the joke extension which riffs off this. I thought this was called "Bartel Theme", but it turns out that is something different. (2021-05-01)
Henrik Juel: I see; that principle probably was established soon after the invention of grasshoppers and nightriders
I do not think it has a name, but it is so well established that it should be in the Codex (2021-05-01)

Henrik Juel: If Black may castle, his latest move must have been e3xf2, so last move was e2-e4. (Orig. wPg2 promoted on g8, so g7xh6 happened early). 1.dxe3 e.p. 2.fxg1=B 3.0-0 Tg4# (2003-03-21)
James Malcom: Is this the only know one-sided Valladao in a regular series-mover helpmate? Also, can wPh2 be shifted to h4, and the White king moved as well to h2, so that the solution must have 2. fxg1=S? (2020-12-08)
James Malcom: Well, the only known one that is in minimum form, i.e. 3 moves, I mean. (2020-12-08)
A.Buchanan: This is nice. I don't know of any other AP ser-h#3 with Valladao, but there could be. Just been cleansing PDB data today. Yes I think wKh3 and wBh2 can be transposed, and then promote to S instead of L. (2020-12-08)
A.Buchanan: The legality of intermediate positions in seriesmovers is of course irrelevant. However, each proof game that leads to the diagram position with BTM can be appended with a black move and then a "flip" that changes the player to move. We can repeat this process, and then the fact that Black retains castling rights implies that they had castling rights in the diagram position. I think this is the right formal way to handle AP with seriesmovers. (2022-03-21)

Der letzte Zug kann unter der Längstzügerbedingung nur Be7-e5 gewesen sein. Also ist der En-passant-Schlüssel erlaubt. Erstaunlicherweise gelingt der En-passant-Nachweis in Miniaturfassung.

Last move obviously was not made by Ga6
neither by Kf1 from e1, e2, f2, because K-f1 would not be a longest move
neither by Pe5 from d6, e6, f6, by a similar reason
So last move was e7-e5, and White may capture ep (2021-05-02)

There are basically two candidate solutions ending Th4# and 0-0#. In (a), the initial ep can only be justified by 0-0#. On the other hand in the diagram position in (b), White's last move must have been with wK or wR, so 0-0# is disrupted. Nice and paradoxical.

James Malcom: I am still pondering. (2021-09-14)
Henrik Juel: James, I have forgotten all about this weird stipulation during the time since my last comment, and I don't know what I meant so say...
The definition of shc in the PDB is not complete; here is the Schwalbe definition:
Konsequenter Serienzüger: Ein Serienzüger, bei dem nach jedem Zug die Retroanalyse der Stellung neu durchgeführt wird (also ohne Kenntnis früherer Züge und Analysen). Beispielsweise wird eine Rochade wieder möglich, wenn König und Rochadeturm auf ihre entsprechenden Felder ziehen (weil in der neuen Analyse "vergessen" ist, dass beide bereits gezogen haben).
In english, something like
After each move the analysis of the position is done afresh, without knowledge of previous moves;
for instance, castling is possible when king and rook reach their original squares (e8 and a8), because it is 'forgotten' that they have already moved (2021-09-14)
Henrik Juel: You ask for a justification of the key, James; there is no need for justification, Black can do whatever he likes
In the position after 1.a1=S last move must have been g2-g4, so the ep capture 2.fxg3ep is legitimized
In the position after 2.fxg3ep last move must have been Ke3xPf3, with the double check being explained by exf3ep++; this is the 'hidden ep capture' I mentioned in my youthful comment (2021-09-14)
James Malcom: Thanks Henri! While the definition is incomplete, the reset each time is deducible from looking over shc problems. The justification here, however, was a level above me somehow. (2021-09-14)

I think, pawn d7 serves to prevent retractions like R: 1.Pg6xXf5, but pawn d4 is only there to complete the symmetry (i.e. Pd7 is necessary, Pg4 is not). (2021-02-06)

Luckily, illegal diagram can be fixed by removal of bPa4.
Then if White castling rights remain, ep is on. One ser-h#5 & 18 ser-h#6 tries exist, in which White does not bother to castle.
We don't know if this was a transcription error or a counting mistake by the composer.
Cook: Too many pawn captures required. For retro problem, illegal position implies unsound
Mike Neumeier: The solution appears to be 1.fxe4 e.p. 2.e2 3.exf1=L 4.Ld3 5.Le4 6.Ld5 dxc3#. Was that the intention? (2013-02-18)
Arno Tüngler: There would even be a solution in 5 moves by 3.exf1=S 5.Sd5 Sb5#
However, in order to justify the e.p.-key there must be an AP prove that e2-e4 (and not a move by the wK or wRa1) was played as White's last move. Thus the only solution giving this in 6 moves is 1.fxe3 e.p. 2.e2 3.exf1=S 4.Sxd2 5.Sxb1 6.Sxa3 0-0-0!# (2013-02-18)
Mike Neumeier: It struck me as odd there was no solution listed. (2013-02-18)
Mike Neumeier: And, if we let black be the idle side, there is 1.Txg1 2.Lxh1 3.Kd1 4.Kc1 hxg1T#. What does the asterisk(*) mean? (2013-02-18)
Henrik Juel: The asterisk means that there is also a white mate if he had the move, in this case two mates, so maybe the stipulation should be ser-h#6**:
1.dxc3,Sb5# (2013-02-18)
Ladislav Packa: It is clear that e.p. is possible only when the wK and wRa1 done neither move.
What convention is used here for the right to castling? (2013-02-18)
Henrik Juel: White may castle, unless you can show that he has lost the right to castle. In this problem there is a major difficulty, I think: the position seems illegal.
White pawns captured b2xc3xd4xe5xf6, g2xf3, and axb, promoting on b8; Black captured bxc, dxc, and g3xh2. We cannot explain the destiny of [Ph7].
Reversing wPh3 and bPh2 seems to handle the illegality, but then the problem can be solved in 5 moves (2013-02-18)
Mike Neumeier: Thanks, Henrik. Maybe the stipulation was a typo. Considering all comments together, perhaps the stip should have been ser-h#5**, with the one solution being the 5-mover Arno gave. I do not think it can be proven, except by a stipulation of ser-h#5 that en passant is possible. Which leads to the question of convention. Can the existence of a unique solution as implied only by the stipulation be used to determine that en passant is permissible? Whether there is castling or not here seems immaterial. It is just another 6-move solution. There are 19 6-movers (Popeye) with one queenside castling among them. But only the one 5-mover. (2013-02-18)
Henrik Juel: By convention, an en passant capture as first move is not permitted, unless the pawn double step can be shown by some kind of retro analysis.
(Conversely, a castling is permitted, unless it can be shown by retro analysis that the right to castle has been lost, i.e., that king and/or rook has moved) (2013-02-18)
A.Buchanan: Suggested repair: Remove bPa4. Add AP to stipulation.
As Henrik points out, the diagram as it stands is illegal. We can't swap wPh3 & bPh2, because that allows 2 h#1 cooks.
Suppose we remove bPa4 instead. Then we still at least 5 White pawn captures: bxcxdxexf6 & gxf3. But wPh3 did still move from h2, so there are 3 Black pawn captures bxc, dxc & gxh2. So [bhP] died without capturing or promoting. [waP] must have promoted - so either [baP] was captured to clear the way, or [waP] captured to promote, and later [baP] promoted. Either way, all the numbers add up, and the position is legal. wPe4 cannot have just come from d3. So AP is triggered. Forward logic works just as before without bPa4. There is 1 5-move try, and 18 6-move tries, but AP eliminates them all because of need for castling to retrospectively justify the ep. (2013-02-23)
A.Buchanan: Mike asked: "Can the existence of a unique solution as implied only by the stipulation be used to determine that en passant is permissible?"
Answer: No. The stipulation does imply a default player to move, but otherwise cannot be used as a premise to determine game state (castling, en passant). (2022-03-21)
A.Buchanan: WinChloe & Yacpdb have the same cooked diagram as PDB, so I think this cook was in the design. I would like to post a sound version with bPa4 removed, and I think it would just be “Zigman correction” with no one else’s name mentioned in the credits. Is everyone ok with this? (2022-05-30)
Mario Richter: 'Bilten 1970' (printed 1971) contains on pp. 62-81 a complete report on the "Problem Duel Slovenia - Macedonia 1969", the problem here can be found on page 79 and is printed there exactly as given here.
Andrew's handling of the suggested correction (remove black pawn a4) is o.k. for me. (2022-05-31)

A.Buchanan: The final position in Kees' solution has wTf6 which must be promoted. This could have been wBb, which captured e.g. bBa5, bBb6 e.p., bLa7, bSb8.
wTf7 is also promoted, and might be sBh having capturing wBg5, wBh6 e.p., wLg2, wTh1. sBfxLg6 completes the picture. I don't see any difficult captures e.g. of S remaining, so the position looks to be legal. (2022-02-16)

play all play one stop play next play all
A.Buchanan: Last move sure, but prior to that could be Kg1-h2, Kh1-h2 or even Kg1xTh2. wSa1 needs to be present so it wasn’t uncaptured on h2, but I think it can replace wLb2, which cannot I think be uncaptured on h2. Am I missing sth? (2022-07-15)
Mario Richter: Does the Kamikaze-rule only apply to Black's moves? Otherwise, how can the diagram position be reached from the initial game array?
If Kamikaze applies to White too, I think, wSa1 also prevents Tg1xSh1[-wTh1] as an alternative last move ... (2022-07-15)
A.Buchanan: Hi Mario: thanks for this. Kamikaze applies to both sides. By default it’s Rex exclusive so kings can go round mopping up odd pieces. Black used three of Pacg BQSS to capture wBRR inside the cage. I now see wSSBQ must remain on the board of else there may just have been a capture outside the cage. If there was just a Kamikaze capture inside the cage, it can only have been Q&R or S&R (or vice versa). e.g. bSf3xRg1(-bSg1). Since a1 is occupied, can’t get bK past wR to retract via b2.

VL: Solution:
1.Rg2=wR Rb6=wR!! 2.Re8=bR! 0-0#! (2... Rf1#??)
2.Ra(c)8=wR??

Here only one w rook is volage since they both stand on light squares
of ODD ranks: any promotee had to visit a square of the opposite
colour at least once in order to arrive from the 8th rank! Similarly,
only one bl rook is volage (EVEN ranks). By the AP logic, we have a
right to justify the 1st W's move by subsequent castling, which shows
that it is Rh1 that is volage. Bl rooks play by the post factum
(subordination) logic: the first one turns out volage.

Cooked (feenschach, 126): 1.Ra2(Rc2,Rb3...)=wR Rh7+ 2.Kf8 Ra8#

A.Buchanan: I don't think this is consequent series mover, under which every position would considered afresh from the perspective of legality i.e. possible histories. Instead, this is regular series mover where one player is simply saying "pass". It's hard to imagine how AP might operate in a consequent context. I will change the keyword suitably. (2021-11-08)

play all play one stop play next play all
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)

1.Dh5 Ka8 2.f3 Kb8 3.f2 Ka8 4.f1=L Kb8 5.Ld3 Ka8 6.Lb1 Kb8 7.La2 Ka8 8.f5 Kb8 9.f4 Ka8 10.f3 Kb8 11.f2 Ka8 12.f1=L Kb8 13.Ld3 Ka8 14.Ldb1 Kb8 15.Tf2 Ka8 16.Tb2 Kb8 17.Tff2 Ka8 18.Lçf5 Kb8 19.Lfç2 Ka8 20.d3 Kb8 21.Lé3 Kç7 22.é5 K×d6 23.Lç1 Kd5 24.Td2 Ké4 25.Dd1 Kf5 26.Kh7 Ké6 27.Kh6 Ké7 28.Kh5 Kf7 29.Kg4 Kf6 30.Kf3 Kf5 31.Ké2 Kg4 32.Ké1+ K×h3 33.é4 Kg3 34.é3 Kh3 35.é2 Kg2=
and P0501022 as the correction
It seems Zdravko analyzed the whole thing in due time... (2022-07-26)

PR Torsten Linß zur 2. ehrenden Erwähnung (P0575722) und dieser Aufgabe: "Im Satz wird ein schwarzes `Eigenpatt' mit einem weißen Tempozug beantwortet. In der Lösung ist Weiß genötigt, sich im Vorschaltzug dieses Tempos zu berauben. Mit langzügigen Manövern stellt Schwarz einen anderen Tempozug bereit. Dabei kommt es zu Rückkehren von 2 bzw. 4 schwarzen Steinen. Die doppelte Rückkehr ist trotz `halben' Inhaltes wegen ihrer Eleganz und Subtilität besser. Der Unterschied, den ein Tempo ausmachen kann, ist gut herausgearbeitet, allerdings hätte mir ein Wechsel im Spiel (z. B. anderes Pattbild) noch mehr zugesagt."
