"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."

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.

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: 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)

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: How is the key here justified? (2021-01-18)
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)

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: 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

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)

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."

Thema des TT ('The Problemist' 09/1992, S. 88): "... composers are required to combine 2 (or more) problems to make a distinct third."

(Im 'Problemist' haben die Teilaufgaben a),b),c) und d) die Labels: D,A,B und C.
PR Barry Barnes vermutet in seinem Kommentar zu diesem Problem, daß ein Computer bei der Erstellung geholfen haben könnte: "Essentially disparate parts (A),(B) and (C) come together as something quite new in (D). But note a minimal record: 5 pieces, cyclic absence of 2 of the pieces, 4 different series-demands, and only ideal mates! Was Holmes right in thinking that a later model of Prof Babbage's "engine" (Cambridge,1834) determined the solving conditions and lengths?"

Alfred Pfeiffer: Was ist "Iceberg"? Ist das eine Art Augsburger Schach? (2010-09-29)
Alfred Pfeiffer: "Iceberg" ist Peter Fayers' Version des Augsburger Schachs, bei folgenden drei Unterschiede gelten (Quelle: "http://www.bcvs.ukf.net/augsb.htm"):
E1: Pieces may combine, but not kings, and NOT PAWNS either (not even when moving to promote).
E2: The game-array queen is not separable, and Qs are distinct from (R+B)s.
E3: A pawn may promote to any combination seen in the diagram, or generated during play. (2010-10-11)
A.Buchanan: Link is now at https://www.mayhematics.com/s/augsb.htm. Piece images to make up the diagrams have been lost, but you can get a clue what the diagrams were by clicking in the html. (2019-02-04)

Aber nach 11. Lh1 kann Weiß auch g2xLh3 zurücknehmen!
Cook: gxsLh3!
Henrik Juel: 1.d5-d4-d3-d2-d1B-b3xa2-c4-f1 10.Bg2-h1 12.fxg3ep+?? fxg3# seems to fail, because after 11.Bh1 last move could be g2xh3. So what is the solution? (2003-04-28)
Thierry LE GLEUHER: After 11.Bh1, the last move can't be g2xh3 because of the promoted Bishop h1 imcompatible with the bP structure! (2005-09-25)
Henrik Juel: Why couldn't Black have a promoted bishop at this point in time (where wPa2 and bPd7 are no longer present)? 12 captures by black pawns seem to match the 12 missing white men. (2005-09-26)
Joost de Heer: Besides, after g2-g4, the black bishop must've been promoted too. (2005-09-30)
James Malcom: Henrik, gxh3 is indeed impossible. The last move sequence must go something like 1. Kfg8 Se2+ 2. Kh2 Sg1. There cannot be a knight on h3, cutting off g8, or a queen/rook, cutting off h2. Thus, gxh3 has already been played and g2-g4 is the last move. (2021-09-14)
Mario Richter: Position after 11. Lh1 is 8/5p2/8/5ppp/5pPk/5p1P/5P1K/6nb.
It can be easily shown, that in this position g2xLh3! is indeed a legal retraction.
So the ep-capture is not justified and the problem is cooked!
(Perhaps Thierry forgot, that black pawn d7 "disappeared"? But Joost's argument raises [correctly] the question, why a promoted Bishop on h1 is ok for g2-g4, but not for g2xLh3.) (2021-09-15)
Henrik Juel: So the good guys (Mario, Joost, and me) win over the bad ones (Thierry and James) by 3-2... (2021-09-15)
Henrik Juel: or, less insultingly:
By a majority of 3 to 2 this problem has been deemed cooked (2021-09-15)

(Barani & Lörinc). Die Autoren beschreiben das Thema: Extended Zilahi in a relatively long sh# with two solutions, three blocks and model battery-mates. Und das sieht dann so aus: a) 3.Kc5 4.G:b6 5.Kb5 6.Ga5 7.K:a6 8.Tb5 e7#; b) 1.Th5 2.Kf5 3.Gg5 4.K:e6 5.Kf6 6.Gg7 8.K:h6 b7# EB (stellvertretend für MW und WW): Auf dem Weg zum echoartigen Matt wird die Bauernhalbbatterie mit Opferwechsel geschärft zum Abschuß. Gefällig! RB: Selbsteinkerkerung des sK am linken und rechten Brettrand mit analogen Abzugsmatts durch die B/G, bzw. B/T-Batterie.

Die beiden Autoren machten den Vorschlag, unter das Diagramm das aus dem orthodoxen Bereich bekannte "v" zu setzen. Dies widerstrebte mir dann doch. Ein diesbezüglicher Hinweis im Vorspann mußte genügen.
Autoren: Rehm-Thema, diagonal und orthogonal mit eindeutigen thematischen Verführungen durch den jeweils "falschen" Hinterstein.
AB: Sehr leicht zu durchschauendes Peri-Manöver.
Schwarz-weiße Opferbahnungen nach einleitenden Umschiffungen des jeweiligen wWirkungssteins (HJ).

KHS: Langsam, Schritt für Schritt, kriechen der wK, wB und der wT nach oben. Amüsant!
EB: Simpel? Der SB hat recht, wenn er dies auf den Lösungsablauf bezieht, aber zuerst muß man so eine Idee haben und dann muß man sie auch verwirklichen und dann, da bin ich mir sicher, ist und war die Sache nicht simpel. Mir gefallen solche Sachen jedenfalls weit besser als manche schwülstigen Zweizüger mit herbeigeredeten Themata.
EZ: Die Einschätzung der Ankündigung ["eigentlich ganz simpel und doch nett gemacht"] trifft den Nagel auf dem Kopf!

Echomatts; gute "Aufwärmübung" (MW).
EB: Opferwechsel; dass der sLa7 in einem Spiel überflüssig ist, stört doch den guten Gesamteindruck.
Ähnlich KHS: Chamäleon-Echomatt, der nicht benötigte wS wird geschlagen; in einer Lösung nachtwächtert leider der sLa7.
PH: Zweifach Opferminimal und zweifach Mattwechsel sowie Farbwechselecho. Gut gemacht!
LV: very elegant!
Zilahi mit Umgruppierung der sSteine - leicht vom Blatt zu lösen (AB).

An dem wSchachgebot in der Ausgangsstellung hat sich berechtigterweise keiner gestört!
EB: Dreifaches Idealmatt-Echo in Mehrlingsform. Grandios! Ich liebe solche Aufgaben! (ähnlich MW und AB).
KHS: Lustige und nicht allzu schwere Hüpferei.
EH: Die je ersten K-Züge, und im Grunde auch die Mattzüge, verstehen sich von selbst, aber das spricht nur für das Problem, das mit Minimalaufwand die Gangart des Turmhüpfers ausnutzt.

WW und MW: Hier steht eigentlich das wReflexmatt im Mittelpunkt: nämlich, warum man es verhindern muss.
KHS: Dass das Reflexmatt durch Bg5# geschehen muss und die beiden Fluchtfelder des wK h3 und h5 von Weiß selbst geblockt werden müssen, war schnell klar; der Weg zur Lösung dauerte aber etwas länger.
AB: Auf die Bd3/d4 kann man verzichten [Stimmt! GES]!

A.Buchanan: Consequential series movers were invented in 1979. (2015-11-11)
A.Buchanan: Although there is trivial retro consideration at the beginning, this is not a consequent problem. After Black's first four series moves, the position has no last move for White, which violates the consequent condition. This is just a regular seriesmover, with ep convention in the diagram, contrary to the initial post in 2004. (2020-12-10)

Original ohne wBb2, mit wKb1 und sLa3 veröffentlicht, dann aber NL 1. bxc3ep, weil danach W als letzten Zug Kc2-b1 hatte.
In der korrigierten Stellung (03/1988, S.400) hat W nach bxc3ep nie einen letzten Zug, so daß dieser ep-Schlag erst am Ende der Lösung gespielt werden darf.

Außerdem bietet der Autor noch einen Zwilling an: Ks a5/a4, zusätzlich Monchromes Schach, shc#6
('The Problemist' (03/1988, S.400): "Composer's Mono-chromatic setting (1.bc ep.) saves another unit, but has less interest."

Mario Richter: Paul's comment was obviously referring to the origial position, not to the one now presented in the diagram.
(The germsn comment above reads: Originally published without white pawn b2, with wKb1 and black Bishop a3. But then cooked by 1. bxc3ep, because W has Kc2-b1 as last move [preceeded by c4xb3+]) (2021-09-16)

The interest here is in the try 5. h1=T? 6. Th8, when, in a game to that position, the sK or sT must have moved to let out Ta8 to be captured (0-0?). The solution is a surprise, involving castling round the cylinder instead.

A.Buchanan: What's the idea? If it's a length record, can't we shift all the pieces up and put wK on a1 to increase the solution length by one. (2022-03-15)
SCHRECKE: Andrew, it's look like an "A" for "Annemarie". (2022-03-15)
Henrik Juel: This is not the best-looking A, I have seen, so it should not be Keyword'ed Letter problem
Incidentally, the problem can also be tested by Popeye, in a flash (2022-03-15)
A.Buchanan: Thanks all! Letter A must be the concept, although I must admit I didn't see it. It's certainly closer to A than any other letter (excepting the Cyrillic alphabet) to it would be churlish to refuse it the keyword. I hope that, in the unlikely event that Hans ever dedicated a letter problem to me, he would use a less wispy font :) (2022-03-16)

A.Buchanan: Baffled - what’s going on here? (2023-04-07)
shankar ram: Series Draw in 4 moves (Draw by repetition rule not applicable)! (2023-04-08)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Shankar, I could translate the stipulation. But now the penny has dropped that it means reach a drawing position, not a draw. But normally after ser-goal in n moves, it is formally Black to move. E.g. ser-# in n, or ser-= in n. But here, the rule is broken: it's White to move to sneak a 5th move in. After 4. c6 with Black to move as usual, there is 4. ... Qh3+/Qh7+. So I think it should be ser-draw in 5. I will mark it as a study as well as fairies. (2023-04-08)
