(G. Berlinger) PGr: "Erstmals stammle ich also chinesisch; offenbar ist auch das erlernbar." Zum Inhalt selber gab es leider kaum Kommentare. RobS: "Einheitliche Motive: Linienverstellungen, Deckungsaufgabe, Mustermatts." MS: "Weißer Feldbesetzungswechsel von SS und LL mit einem sMärchenwald drumherum!" 1.Lb2 Se4 2.PAe7 Sb4#, 1.VAe7 Lb4 2.Tg6 Le4#. HMo: "Das weiße Material wird optimal genutzt", was auf das schwarze vielleicht nicht ganz zutrifft - "Chinesische Bevölkerungsexplosion!" (HHS) 15L/5P

MS: "Die neuralgischen Punkte im sLager sind e6 und g6; durch die beiden Damenopfer erhält eine der Besetzerfiguren die Gelegenheit, die Kontrolle ihres ursprünglichen Standfeldes selbst zu übernehmen, während die andere durch den Block-S verschwindet!"
RobS: "Alle Märchenfiguren sind nach zwei D-Opfern und zwei Block an den schönen Mustermatts beteiligt." "Super gemacht!"
(HMo) HHS: "Eine mühevolle Sache für Komponist und Löser - ein sehr versteckter Austausch mit Funktionswechsel... War's Ärger (über die Mühe) oder Undankbarkeit, daß mir das nicht so recht gefällt...?" Vielleicht ist es ja der etwas chaotische Einsatz von Märchenpuppen. Zumindest mir gefällt das nicht so recht. 14L/5P/2.7/III

ist "ein echter Petkow" (HMo) mit "Linienöffnung und Block bei S, und W setzt differenziert auf demselben Feld den Sprungbock zum Matt!" (MS)
"Ein phatastischer chinesischer Dreiklang!" (PGr)
HHS: "also nicht, wie suggeriert, der Leo als mattgebender Rückstein von d7 (oder h7 oder h3) aus, sondern nach höflicher Wegfreigabe dreimal als Deckungsgehilfe plaziert - ein achtungsgebietende Konstruktion (sicher gibt's auch noch einen pikanten Grund für Ke8...?) mit konsequentester Ausnutzung der Originalität, daß in China nur der Aufbau einer Batterie sich lohnt und nicht deren Abschuß..." Tja, das ist eine alte Chinesische Weisheit, oder Hüpferweisheit - auch Antibatterie genannt.
RobS: "Die Schlüssel öffnen die Linie für den Leo, der das dreimalige Matt auf d4 nach drei Blocks deckt - ein Juwel mit Märchensteinen!"
"Das läuft wie ein Uhrwerk; Petkow kommt anscheinend nie Sand ins Getriebe." (WoW)
Kam also sehr gut an. Auch die Wertung spricht für sich: 15L/5P/3.4/II.

Damesteine a7,b8

1. DMa7-b6 White huffs b8 for not capturing R, when Pb8Q, a mischievous morsel.
A.Buchanan: original diagram have draught counters in it?
@Joost (resident checkers expert): Is incurring a huff regarded as illegal? There are many cases where this sacrificial play might be the only winning line? Do any checkers engines include huffing? (2023-08-11)
Joost de Heer: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_draughts, huffing might've been allowed at one time, but it isn't in the rules now, and I doubt it was in the official rules in 1946. (2023-08-11)
Joost de Heer: Alls FCR issues can be found on the BCPS website (https://www.theproblemist.org/mags.pl?type=fcr). 6751 was published in issue 100 in the Smallwares section, without diagram.
No. 6751. Lord Dunasy, Dunasy Castle: WKf7, Rc7, Pb7; Bl. Kd8, draughts men a7, b8. Black helps White mate in 1. (2023-08-11)

Bei der Scheinlösung hat weiß keinen letzten Zug. (2017-11-23)

Autor: Rochaden schließen sich gegenseitig aus. Die schwarze wird durch das Retrospiel f2-f3 Tf3xf7 ausgeschlossen, die weiße durch KxLe1. ... 'a posteriori'-Legalisierung durch Ausführung der Rochade.
Henrik Juel: I do not know what Maximum exact means; neither do Popeye 4.61 and Märchenschachlexikon
Popeye 4.61 with 'con max' or 'con max ultra' both produced no solutions (2022-05-26)
Mario Richter: KW "en Passant as key" deleted, since I do not see any epkey here.

Classification after Branko Pavlovic:
1. Classical Maximummer:
Black has to make the geometrical longest move with the following restrictions:
a) Black attacks the white king according to the orthodox rules
b) If the absolutely longest moves are not executable, Black makes the relatively longest moves, i.e. one of the executable ones with maximum length.

2. Ultra-Maximummer:
As the classical Maximummer, but without a)

3. Exact-Maximummer:
Only the longest moves are "active". (2022-06-11)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Mario. I would prefer if this kind of distinction between checking, control & move was defined abstractly, independent of any particular fairy condition, to which it can then easily be applied. Also, prefixes "ultra & exact" are misleading (2023-06-29)
