I think that this cooked problem is an early A osteriori. I can see ways that it might be made sound, but I would like to see the published version. San anyone help please? Thanks.

A.Buchanan: Hi Gerald. Thanks for this. Your final proposed version is r3k3/3b2p1/5p2/6b1/n3pPRp/2pq2rp/2p1P1pB/2K3n1, yes? There are 16 candidate solutions, all using castling. But wPa cannot leave the a-file, and is required for capture balance, so Black cannot castle. Five of the candidates begin with e.p.: play might have just been R: 1. Kb1-c1 b3xPc2+, so e.p. is not permitted in any case. What am I missing? (2022-04-25)
Gerald Ettl: Hi Andrew,
Those were 2 mistakes I made. I improved it again.

A.Buchanan: I imagine that e.g. 12. ... Tc8 would allow the removal of the "exactly" limitation, which is unsavory in a tempo problem. (2018-12-12)
A.Buchanan: Yes confirmed C+ BP 12.0 after 12. ... Tc8 with Euclide 1.11. (2018-12-12)
A.Buchanan: Ronald wrote: As far as i'm concerned a game in 11 moves doesn't solve a proof game in 11.5 moves. The normal stipulation (in those days, in English) was "Position after White's 12th move. What was the game?" Which is specific and is in English, as against "PG11.5".
I happen to disagree with Ronald's position on the vexed "exactly" question, particularly for a tempo problem. But I do defend his right to retain his original stipulation associated with the problem. It is part of his creative work and as a matter of respect, scholarship and insurance it should never be over-written. There is a dependency in PDB between the animation and the diagram stipulation, which encourages over-writing. We need a unicode Originalforderung field (or maybe keyword parameter) which can contain the original stipulation in its entirety. Obviously most stipulations are unaffected, but retros are more vulnerable. Having the Originalforderung field would also free up the diagram stipulation for *greater* automation (e.g. standardization on language, helpmate, try, set play, decimal-comma-or-decimal-point, which would allow much more focused search than is available now, and a similar kind of auto-translation to what occurs in keywords and fairy pieces today).

A.Buchanan: What's a polar echo? (2022-03-08)
Henrik Juel: Good question
It must refer to the two mate positions:
The bishops stand on e3,f3 and e5,f5; with the kings on f2 and f4, Black is mate, and with kings on f4 and f6, White is mate
In non-duplex problems echo/chameleon echo mates are pretty well defined (black king on same/different square color)
So polar echo is just a third type, maybe only occurring in duplex problems (2022-03-08)
A.Buchanan: Thank you, Henrik. A non-duplex mechanism for Polar Echo is shown by P1305339 & P1305340. (2022-03-08)

Erich Bartel: Bei der angegebenen Quelle dürfte es sich um einen Nachdruck handeln.
Lt. dem mir vorliegenden Original-Heft ist die Erstquelle:
1894 Europe Echecs (162) VII 1972.---
weiterer Nachdruck:
2) 81 feenschach (16) VIII 1973 (2009-07-27)
SBD: The 1978 second edition of Rice and Dickins The Serieshelpmate gives the BCM source, so perhaps the error crept in by the citation of the secondary source through the book? (2009-08-01)

James Malcom: Wrong source and author!
C. Planck merely got it from a friend and it was reprinted in The British Chess Magazine in his letter to the editor in the March 23, 1901 issue-https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_British_Chess_Magazine/mZlJAAAAYAAJ?hl
Quote: "This afternoon the following curiosity was submitted for my examination. I unfortunately omitted to learn where my friend got it from."
The 1910 books, is indeed in there, gives the wrong information0https://www.google.com/books/edition/150_Schachkuriosit%C3%A4ten/NVzzAAAAMAAJ?hl
Luckily, in a short afternote on May 7, Planck mentions that the solution has recently been given in The Pleasure Hour. It can be found here-https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015068398471
I found the solution on page 544 in April, not surprising that it was mentioned in May due the the "slowness" of the day. It gives the solutions for the February problems.
Jumping back to page 362, it appears as an original problem by B. G. Laws.

A.Buchanan: I don't know much about selfmates, but I do note that this problem can be "fixed" by shifting wTc6 to f-file (except f5 or f6). Does this break any content, and if not, is there a preferred location on f-file? (2023-04-02)

1. Dc4-g8!
Mario Richter: Cook: Schwarz hat keinen legalen letzten Zug (2014-05-25)
A.Buchanan: This is not a retro problem. If we grant Black first move, then 0. ... Txb7! refutes. It's just a technical oversight. I can find no correction in PDB or WinChloe. Observe that sBb6 serves no purpose. If we remove it, then wLb5 serves little purpose. Removing both units, and shifting wD to e1,e5,e6,g6 or h5 retains soundness, but gives Black a last move. All variations persist, including the minor dual after 1. ... Lxb7, where both mates are separately forced. I prefer wDe6, because the key defending Sc8 is otherwise too strong. Also note the try 1. Dg8? In summary therefore: correction krN5/pN6/b2KQ3/8/8/8/R7/8 #2. (2021-10-09)
A.Buchanan: WinChloe gives a different original source, Wiener Schach Zeitung, with the same year 1932, towards the end of Keeble's chess problem career. (2021-10-09)
Mario Richter: My guess is, that the publication in 'Wiener Schach-Zeitung' is only a reprint as part of what I call "a real solving competition" (since amongst the problems to be solved there were also [intentionally] some with severals cooks or with seemingly or real illegal positions):
"Aus dem diesjährigen internationalen Lösungswettkampf.
Diesem Turnier ... lagen zum Teil sehr knifflige Probleme zugrunde. Es sei für unsere Löser vorausgeschickt, daß die Aufgaben zum Teil mehrfach nebenlösig sind, mitunter eine partieunmögliche Stellung vortäuschen oder auch haben. Die Illegalität der Stellung ist zu beweisen." (2021-10-09)
A.Buchanan: Wow, thanks Mario! This is a great example then of how one can't understand a problem sometimes, without knowing the context in which it's composed. How should we classify this one here in PDB? (2021-10-09)
A.Buchanan: Since illegality is the intention, it's not cooked. And it's a joke. bBb6 is a weasel. So much is clear, but I am uncertain whether to use the descriptive keyword "illegal position" or "no legal last move for black" or something else. The latter is actually a retro-stalemate (defined as a one-sided illegal position). However, 'retro-stalemate' as a keyword it has the sense more of applying to retro compositions where a retro-stalemate is sought in the history of the game, not Article 15 cases where the diagram is already one-sidedly illegal. So I think we should keep the keyword 'no legal last move for black'. (2021-10-10)

However, 'retro-stalemate' as a keyword it has the sense more of applying to retro compositions where a retro-stalemate is sought in the history of the game, not Article 15 cases where the diagram is already one-sidedly illegal. So I think we should keep the keyword 'no legal last move for black'. (2021-10-10)

Sally: Hier enden ausnahmsweise auch in der Lösung beide Varianten mit dem demselben Matt. Doch hat diese Aufgabe durchaus Pfiff.
die Satzspiele 1. - Txd3 und Lxd3, enden mit Kreuzschach. In der Lösung muss sich der Springer opfern, damit alle Deckungen des Feldes e4 beseitigt sind.
Schlüssel und Drohung sind besonders gut gelungen.

A.Buchanan: Idea I suppose is that Black just moved, and moreover it was pawn double hop. I don't see clearly far enough back to confirm that. (2021-10-21)
Mario Richter: If Black moved last, the only legal retraction is R: 1. ... c7-c5! But the position can also be resolved if White moved last, starting with R: 1. f4xTg5 Tg6-g5 2. f3-f4 Ta6-g6 3. f2-f3 Sc6-a7 4. h4-h5 Ta8-a6 5. h3-h4 a6-a5 6. h2-h3 Ka5-a4 7. b3-b4 Ta4-a3.
Therefore the keyword "No legal last move for White" doesn't apply here; and to make the solution work, the Stipulation should be something like "h#2 0.1.1." or "h#1.5". (2021-10-21)
Henrik Juel: HC+ Popeye 4.61 (2021-10-22)
A.Buchanan: To my mind, the retro thinking is serious enough that we can’t claim HC+. If a tool like Replicator 2.0 was to validate the retro status I’d be ok. But I think it would be misleading to put HC+ to indicate the trivial h#1.5 is sound. We can certainly mark that Popeye has checked the h#, but not click the C+ flag. What do you think? (2021-10-22)
Henrik Juel: HC+ is not recognized (yet) by PDB, and I suppose it just meant that some sort of human analysis is needed in addition to a standard forward solver like Popeye
You are suggesting that we distinguish between easy and difficult human analysis and say HC+ for easy analysis only
I suggest saying HC+ for all problems where Popeye is not sufficient; you can write easy or difficult in the C+ comment
If and when a human analyst proves the analysis wrong, we delete the HC+ label, of course (2021-10-22)
A.Buchanan: What does Mario think? He invented the term, I seem to remember (2021-10-22)
