A.Buchanan: I think it was harsh to classify this fine problem as cooked, for a mere dual following 1. ... Dxg3. Nevertheless, it can easily be fixed by changing wPg3 to black. So maybe this was just a typo? I will remove the "cooked", but not mark as C+ until the history is resolved. (2022-11-13)
HBae: Offenbar ein Eingabefehler: Sowohl bei WinChloe mit sBg3 als auch in "W.J.Baird, 700 Chess Problems" Nr. 665. (2022-11-13)
A.Buchanan: OK great! Fixed it, and adjusted the solution (2022-11-13)
