A.Buchanan: This is a very heavy position to prevent the possibility of R: 1. c2xb3. I'm not sure why this was done. A much lighter position 8/8/8/5np1/1r1pPkr1/2Bp1p2/1p1P2P1/4K2R with 7 less units achieves the mates soundly. Am I missing something? (2022-02-16)

Wh has made 6 visible pawn captures, Bl 1. If bPfxg, then bPh was waylaid, and bPe promoted, disrupting White's castling rights. If Wh 000 rights remain, therefore, bPhxg and bPe was waylaid instead. Since original g-pawns remain on g-file, they must be wPg3 & bPg4, and wPh must retract a double hop to allow bPh3xg2. So Black can ep, avoiding immediate pat. To castle then mate requires a lot of work.
A.Buchanan: Popeye v4.87 finds 11 solutions to h004.5 following the mandatory ep. Only one of them can be followed by h#1. Any cook therefore would have to be of the form 6. ... 000# Searching now for h005.5, as can then easily check if there are any mates (2022-06-10)

A.Buchanan: Hi Yuri - you know that h#1 doesn't work, right? (2022-06-10)
Yuri Bilokin: Hi - don't know, please email polidox579@gmail.com (2022-06-11)
A.Buchanan: Hi there are over 110,000 ways to reach 6. 000, but *none* of them are also checkmate. Therefore I am happy to pronounce this problem sound. Happy, because (1) it deserves to be ok (2) I couldn't face trying to fix it. If White 000 rights remain, then the last move was certainly h2-h4. Orthodoxically, we cannot perform the e.p. but under the AP Type Petrovic we can ep, as long as we justify it with castling later in the game. Hurray! (2022-06-12)
A.Buchanan: 1. gxh3ep Sxb3#? fails because White never castles to justify the ep. It's like there is an additional check before granting that a position is checkmate or stalemate: have all AP debts been paid? If not, the move is illegal because the game would end with no chance to repay the AP debt later. Yes it's weird but that's AP. (2022-06-13)
Michel Caillaud: Now, the post en passant part of this kind of problem can be tested with Jacobi.
With the following set of data:
stip h#5.5 pieces
White Ke1 Qg1 Ra1f2 Be3h5 Sd2 Pa3b4c4d4f4g3g5
Black Kc1 Rb2 Bb1 Pa2b3c2d3g2h3
constraints Ke1!c1~ Ra1!d1~
Jacobi looks for helpmates in 5.5 moves including 0-0-0 in the play.
No need to scrutinize the 110000 ways found by Andrew; Jacobi makes all the work (but it takes some hours...) (2022-06-13)

Benkö in 'My Life': "Creating a double Queen sacrifice like this is quite an achievement, yet the judge in the Schach Echo helpmate contest didn't appreciate it and only awarded the problem an honorable mention. Later, this problem became one of the most popular examples of the bad judging that is so common in publications."
TLi: a) There are no sacrifices, only captures.
b) The wQ can be omitted without changing the solutions.

Bad judging, indeed! (2023-02-16)

Urdruck-Jahr unklar. Die meisten Quellen (incl. 'Comoedia', '2345 Chess Problems' und vor allem 'Crumbs from the Chess-board by C.A.Gilberg himself!') geben "Danbury News 1881" als Originalquelle an. Das kann aber nicht stimmen, da bereits im 1878 erschienenen 'Chess Chips' [J.P. Taylor] nachgedruckt mit dem Vermerk "Prize for best two-mover, Danbury News"!
1866 stammt aus der PS+-DB (Ettl, id=46418).
A.Buchanan: The half-pinned bQ threatens to capture wRd1, and to check wK an unprovided check if wR shifts. Therefore, look for keys which protect wRd1. The "pins" targeting e6 are very suspicious, and suggest that wQ must move to allow bK to retreat there. Must be possible to extend this idea to 4 pinned pieces covering f5, although mating piece would have to be pawn. (2016-11-24)
athulin: The date of the tournament should be 1877 -- The first Danbury News Tourney (in distinction from their earlier buying problems) concerned problems sent in between August and September of 1877.
(See Hartford Times for the date 1887-08-02 at www.chessarch.com in the excavations section).

As only one prize was offered for #2 and one for #3, it may be clearer to describe the award as
'best #2' or 'prize #2', as the '1.' seems to suggests there may be additional prizes (2. 3., ... and so on) (2022-04-20)
athulin: Sorry ... See Hartford Times for the date *1877-08-02* ... (2022-04-20)

In der Schwalbe (s. Nachdruck) wird 4. ehrende Erwähnung angegeben.

Hier Dreizüger-Thema B2, Ausschreibung 2. WCCT 1980: Im ersten Zug wird Schwarz gezwungen,
eine gefesselte s. Figur D,T,S,L (nicht B) zu behindern (Verstellung oder Block auf
einem Feld). Dies ermöglicht Weiß die Entfesselung der s. Figur durch einen s t i l l e n
zweiten Zug seiner fesselnden Figur (also direkte Entfesselung).
