VL: Keywords: Whose move? (Wer ist am Zug?); Forced en passant

(a) 1.Lf3?? gxf3 2.0-0-0#? (?? denotes illegal).
0... gxf3 e.p.(forced!) 1.Lxf3 Lf5 2.Txg2#! (2.0-0-0#??)
Bl has the move, e.p. capture is legal, and castling is illegal.

(b) 1.Lf3?? gxf3 2.0-0-0#?
0... gxf3 e.p.(forced) 1.Lxf3 Lf5 2.0-0-0#! (2.Txg2#?? - AP-illegal).
Bl still has the move (due to bPe7). Unlike (a), two different retro-moves are possible: i) f2-f4 (f3xSg2) or ii) b2xc3 (in which case castling is illegal due to the missing dark-squared w Bishop). AP after Petrovic in the reversed form "a la Abdurahmanovic": W forces Bl to capture e.p.

(c) 1.Lf3? gxf3 2.0-0-0#??
0... gxf3 e.p.(!) 1.Lxf3 Lf5 2.0-0-0#!! (2.Txg2#?? - AP-illegal).
W's turn to move is possible (in which case, however, castling is illegal). Executed castling justifies jointly Bl's turn to move (AP after Keym) and e.p.

The twins differ by the role of castling: it is illegal in (a), is legal and legalizes Bl's e.p.-key in (b) and legalizes both Bl's turn to move and e.p. in (c). Separately they have 1-mover predecessors: resp., P0005627, P1066685 and P1068112. (2009-06-22)
A.Buchanan: Very nice problem! Ke2# is a dual not provided separately, but I don't see a way to dispense with it (2023-07-22)

A.Buchanan: I guess for these kinds of problems it's always worth looking if there is a retro try. Here there is - an added bonus (2023-12-04)
