"Vermutlich aus der Kleinkunstkiste des Autors hervorgekramt.
a) sollte einfach formuliert sein: 'Matt in 1 Zug' - denn wie es hier heißt, klingt es als ob nur einer mattsetzen kann. Das aber ist nicht der Fall, denn beide können's: 1. ... Lxe6# und 1. Tg6#. Üblicherweise hat Weiß das Prae und kann darauf pochen, den Schwarz hat einen altklassischen letzten Zug: 1. ... Kg6xBf6! (nebst 2. Bg5xBf6ep++ Bf7-f5 3. La2-(x)b1)" (HHS);
also ist Weiß am Zug und setzt matt mit 1. Tg6#.
b) Nach Einfügen eines sBc7 geht die o.g. Rückzugfolge nicht, weil der wK nicht auf die 8. Reihe gelangen kann. Also Schwarz am Zuge und 1. ... Lxe6#
"Allzubekanntes - kein Problem für Schwalbelöser" (HHS)
Wenn das alles so bekannt ist, erstaunt doch sehr, daß nur drei Löser die Autorintention nachvollziehen konnten. Alle anderen Löser (5) kamen zu genau entgegengesetzten Erkenntnissen (in a) setzt Schwarz matt, in b) Weiß), was wohl durch die nicht ganz konventionelle Formulierung suggeriert wurde. Ich find's ein interessantes Beispiel für Massenhypnose! (GL) 2/I/3L.

Brassaud: La solution proposée 1/Tg6# est possible
Mais il y a aussi le rétro jeu -1) Fa2-b1, Rg5g6 -2) Ta4-a5+, Rf4-f5 etc … et avec le trait aux noirs : 1) Fxe6 # est possible (2017-08-30)
A.Buchanan: @Brassaud: yes I agree. There is no reason why White should not have moved last. So both players can mate, but part (b) implies that the intended solution in (a) is 1 player. If the published stipulation for (a) was maybe just "#1", which by default is white to move, then there is a unique solution.
For (b) I am wondering about +sBg6, which would also stop the en passant trick, both by blocking sK from retreating there and also by locking sL in an impossible cage with sBf7. (2017-08-31)
Henrik Juel: Adding a black pawn on g6 of course prevents a black last move by Kf6, but it allows f7xg6 as last move; Lg8 is not locked, because Ph7 is white (2017-08-31)
A.Buchanan: Yes (2017-08-31)

Henrik Juel: It is illegal for Black to supplement anything on b6, because [Ta8] was captured in its corner and the other missing black men were captured by white pawns (2016-03-28)
Henrik Juel: ... as wLb3 is a pawn promoted on e8 or g8
Nice type Høeg defensive retractor
Here are some other explanatory comments
In retraction 1 White chooses to move his king back to h3; Black could choose to supplement a black man on g3 (or nothing), but supplementing a pawn is the only way to maintain legality (Kh3 stands in double check from Lc8 and Dh8); again moving Pg3 back to h3 and White supplementing a pawn on g4 is forced (this e.p. case is the only one where the supplementing does no happen on the abandoned square)
In retraction 2 the white retraction is forced, and then moving Kd6 back to d7 to uncheck is illegal because of the double check from Sb6 and Pc6, so Black must uncheck by moving Kd6 back to e6 and White choose to supplement a pawn on the abandoned square
In retraction 3 White chooses to move Pd6 back to e5, forcing another e.p. situation (2023-04-08)
Henrik Juel: The Proca type is easy to define: White and Black alternate retractions, until White can mate with a forward move
The Høeg type is usually defined the same way, except that the other side decides which man (if any) was captured; but this can be detailed as follows:
1. White chooses a man and 'moves it back'
2. Black chooses which man (if any) to 'supplement' on the abandoned square
(only now is the white retraction complete)
3. Black chooses a man and 'moves it back'
4. White chooses which man (if any) to 'supplement' on the abandoned square
(only now is the black retraction complete)
etc. etc. until, following a white retraction, White can mate with a forward move
In tries, Black can ruin the white plan by mating White with a forward move after a black retraction
It goes without saying that the resulting retractions must be legal
'supplement' is my (poor) translation of the danish term 'supplere'; maybe 'add' would be better
'the abandoned square' needs a special interpretation in the e.p. case, which happens twice in this problem
These details may be the cause why new type Høeg defensive retractors are rarely seen, as type Proca is more natural and straightforward (2023-04-08)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Henrik. Yesterday, I went through all the defensive retractors to clear up keywords & genres. There were a very few where the stip did not specify the VRZ Type, and others where Anticirce did not specify Calvet vs Cheylan. The answers are probably obvious to you, and if you want to comment on those, then I will update the stips & keywords.
A more general question: Typ Friedlich appears to be the German for Type Pacific: can we standardize on one? (2023-04-08)
Henrik Juel: Thanks Andrew for enabling me to post my type Høeg spiel once again
Anticirce without specification usually means that both Calvet and Cheylan work
Friedlich is indeed german for Pacific, and as the PDB is a german product, I guess we must live with the present conditions (2023-04-08)

b) wBd2 nach e4
a) R: 1. e7-e8=L Da8xSh1, dann Da8-f8 e7xf8=L=
b) R: 1. e7-e8=L g2xSh1=D, dann g2xh1=T e7-e8=S=
play all play one stop play next play all
Cook: R: 1. Kd2-e2 Df3xSh1, dann 1. Df3-f6 Bg5xf6=
A.Buchanan: In both candidate solutions, counting of wPs after retraction on means it must be an original unit uncaptured on h1 so can only be wS.
The solution for b) does not work for a) because, if one retracts two promoting moves, then wPs have captured 9/10 missing Black units, while Black has 1/2 accounted for by wBc1. However wPg & bPg passed one another, which requires two more captures by a single player.
In b) the exciting retraction Qa8xh8 is blocked, however now the free pawn captures to explain g-file are shifted from 1+1 to 2+0, so bPg can pass wPg. But the vacation of d2 allows a new cook. This is fixable by shifting wPb instead of wPd. We don't need to shift it to an adjacent file: the solution is still ok if the balance is 2+1.
So "b) wPb2 to b7" fixes the cook, and it's validated by deadpos. (2024-01-15)
