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)

H.Juel: If Black may castle, last move was not made by Ke8 or Ta8, but by Pd5, so it was d7-d5, and hence White may capture en passant. 1... exd6ep 2.0-0-0 dxe7 3.Tf8 exf8=D,T# where the castling (belatedly) justifies the e.p. capture.

VL: The first AP-problem! Thematic illegal try:
1. ... exd6ep 2.Kd8? dxe7+ 3.Kc8 e8=T(D)#?? (2007-02-11)
Mario Richter: 46 years between this Problem and P1366663 - perhaps this was not Keeble's first AP-Problem?! (2019-08-29)
Ladislav Packa: Of course I know the idea a posteriori. But let my heresy be forgiven - I do not consider it logical. In this particular example, I consider e.p. for proof that black can castling - not vice versa. (2019-08-29)
A.Buchanan: Hi Ladislav. If ep is ok, then Black just moved a pawn with double hop. That doesn't stop Black having e.g. moved bK right at the beginning of the game. So you can't prove that Black definitely can castle this way. What am I missing here? (2019-08-29)
Ladislav Packa: Your statement is perfectly fine. However, the AP condition is usually interpreted as castling is evidence of e.p. However, the second party does not have to do castling - the possibility has already been demonstrated by the existence of e.p. (2019-08-29)
A.Buchanan: Hi again Ladislav. Please try again, I am obviously being very stupid. I don't understand how 1. exd6ep is any more indicative that Black can castle than 1. K~. (2019-08-30)
Ladislav Packa: Hi, Andre!
e.p. is just a result of the d7-d5 move. Black can castle only if it was the last move of black (even without wPe5). Therefore, it does not have the logic of joining the e.p. with castling. For example, ask yourself if black is allowed to castle in the position without wPe5. (2019-08-30)
A.Buchanan: @Ladislav: ep is not "proof that black can castle", rather it is a *necessary* condition for Black to be able to castle. The logical implication is the other way round. We can castle because of the optimistic convention, and because sPd might just have moved. Without wPe, there is no solution, but whatever White plays, Black can castle (2020-12-11)
Hans-Jürgen Manthey: was heißt hier Thematisch Illegal ??
Mir völlig wurscht ob ep möglich oder nicht, nach dem weißen Zug ist natürlich Kd8 möglich !!
also ist auch 1. ... exd6ep 2. Kd8 dxe7+ 3. Kc8 e8DT# eine Lösung, sonst müßte auf die erzwungende Rochade in der Aufgabenstellung hingewiesen werden ! (2020-12-11)
A.Buchanan: Can one tolerate “tolerated dual promotion” in Valladao? Well Valladao himself did, so it must be ok (2022-03-26)

Max J. Meyer in 'Brighton and Hove Society', 1904: "It will be seen that the ideas of these two problems [dieses und P1143870] are the same. The addition of the White B. enables Mr. Mackenzie to get a much better key for this position, a point in which Steinweg's problem does not excel; but, of course, the use of an extra piece renders the miniature less remarkable from the point of view of smallness in size."

A.Buchanan: Here the threat play (1) is sound & (2) can never occur as Black has no neutral move. But if threat play is *unsound* yet can never occur, can it be safely ignored or will some directmate purists regard that as a defect? (2022-04-02)
Henrik Juel: I think not, Andrew
When I test problems, I ignore plays that do not occur (2022-04-02)

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.

Autoren:
Verbesserung von Aufgabe H3382 „THE PROBLEMIST“ Juli 2010

Wir sehen in dieser Aufgabe folgenden Inhalt:
1) Erhalt weißer Masse (wBg4).
2) Beseitigung hinderlicher weißer Masse (wBe3 & wBe4)
3) Das Matt mit sKa4 ist nicht möglich, weil Weiß für das Mattbild einen Zug zu viel benötigen würde.

Des Weiteren enthält diese Aufgabe meines Erachtens, wie schon erwähnt, sage und schreibe DREI Weltrekorde.
Also:

Rekord Nummer eins:
Längster schwarzer Königsmarsch am Stück in einem orthodoxem Hilfsmatt = 24 Züge.

Rekord Nummer zwei:
Zuglängste Darstellung eines schwarzen Durbars in einem orthodoxem Hilfsmatt = 24 Züge.

Rekord Nummer drei:
Zuglängster Rundlauf des schwarzen Königs in einem orthodoxem Hilfsmatt = 21 Züge.

Die beiden ersten Rekorde befinden sich schon in der Originalversion, die 2010 veröffentlicht wurde. Der dritte Rekord (längster Rundlauf des schwarzen Königs im orthodoxen Hilfsmatt) ist nun auch noch hinzugekommen.

Wahrscheinlich ist diese Aufgabe auch schwer zu lösen, weil der Löser versucht, den Quadrupelbauern abzuräumen, damit sich Schwarz einen Springer erwandeln kann, vergebens …

Christopher J. A. Jones brachte die verbesserte Version als Einleitung der Hilfsmatt-Urdruck-Serie im März-Heft 2018, sehr ordentlich besprochen, in Englisch.

Gunter Jordan: Lt. Hans Gruber erschien diese Aufgabe in feenschach 227 (2017), tatsächlich erschienen im März 2018. Somit ist feenschach die Erstquelle (sofern die Aufgabe nicht noch irgendwo drittveröffentlicht wurde). Ich habe hier die Erstquelle auf feenschach geändert. Die ursprüngliche 'Erstquelle' The Problemist habe ich als Reprint eingegeben. [GJ] (2020-10-30)

Judge Ivan Soroka 07/2023:
"Again two solutions – with black rook pinned in the diagram position and four promotions of two white pawns. Unfortunately, the author failed to achieve Allumwandlung – promotion of pawns to all four possible types of pieces: QRBS."

Scheint ein Selbstplagiat zu sein. Das Stück wurde in Problemas (SEPA), 07/2020, Heft 31, H1, Seite 935 als Original veröffentlicht.
Henrik Juel: C+ Euclide 1.01
This is an example of the retro theme of WCCT-11
The thematic square is b1, where Sb1 is not original, but promoted, and where Black promoted, only to have his promoted piece captured later
The fact that the promotions are both to knight is not required by the theme (2021-03-21)

'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."
