R: 1. Kb8xSa8
Compare P0001033.
Gerald Ettl: steht der sLh5 vielleicht auf h2 ?? (2023-07-02)
SCHRECKE: Why not R: Kb8xLa8? (2023-07-03)
Mario Richter: Wie "SCHRECKE" mit seiner Frage schon illustriert hat: mit dem sL auf h2 wäre das Problem inkorrekt, da neben R: 1. Kb8xSa8 auch R: 1. Kb8xLa8 als letzter Zug möglich gewesen wäre. Grund sind die etwas verwirrenden Dead-Reckoning-Regeln: mit sLh5 kann zuletzt nicht Kb8xLa8 geschehen sein, da in der Stellung wKb8 - sKb6 sLh5 sLa8 wegen der unzureichendes-Material-zum-Mattsetzen-Regel das Spiel schon in dieser Position beendet gewesen wäre, der wK als gar nicht mehr zur Ausführung eines Zuges geommen wäre ... (2023-07-03)
Mario Richter: Dear James, I suggest that you undo last change and put the black bishop back on h5! (2023-07-03)
A.Buchanan: There are 17 valid squares for the wB. Got to be on a light square for reasons given. Also it can't occupy or attack c8. And can't be attacking a8 because BTM. I think h5 selection was random, but could argue for any. (2023-07-04)
A.Buchanan: Or maybe bBa4, with which White by his last move avoided a completely sound #12. (2023-07-04)
Gerald Ettl: Dann waere es vielleicht ganz sinnvoll man schreibt die Bedingung unter das Diagramm. (2023-07-04)
A.Buchanan: Hi Gerald, it's not a condition, it's a FIDE rule since 1997, invented by a problemist who is also a rules committee member (Igor Vereschchagin) and approved by the rules committee (headed by FIDE Head International Arbiter Stewart Reuben), backed up by a WFCC convention since 2015 (Kjell Widlert & Michel Caillaud, responding to a request from some endgame studiers who understood that it was a real thing. Like 50M rule, it applies by default for retro problems. And the PDB keywords here give the game away anyway. If it was a forward stipulation, then I would indeed add a stipulation, e.g. P1208623. Please enjoy the madness that is DP rule :) P.S. I have found recently that it was really invented by Shakespeare. (2023-07-04)
Gerald Ettl: Ich spiele nicht nach den FIDE-Regel. (2023-07-04)
Olaf Jenkner: Allright.

Mario Richter: My first guess for the solution was:
R: 1. Ke2xLf1 2. Kd3xLe2 3. Kc4xLd3 4. Kb5xLc4 5. Ka6xLb5 Lc6-b5+ 6. Sd7xLb8, dann 1. Sb6#, but that doesn't work because of 5. ... Ld7-b5+!
Does someone see (or know) the correct solution? (2019-01-03)
Henrik Juel: No, because with 1... Lh3-f1+, 5.Ka6-b5 thr. 6.Sd7xLb8 fails similarly on 5... Ld7-h3 (2019-01-03)
S N Ravi Shankar: Does adding a black knight on e6 cure? 1. Ke2xLf1 2. Kd3xLe2 3. Kc4xLd3 4. Kb5xLc4 5. Ka6-b5! followed by 6. Sd7xLb8 and now 1. Sb6#. (2023-02-20)
S N Ravi Shankar: The problem appears to be sound. 1.Ke2xLf1 2.Kd3xLe2 3.Kc4xLd3 4.Kb5xLc4 5.Kb6-b5! followed by 6.Sa6xSb8 and now 1.Sc7#. (2024-02-18)
A.Buchanan: WinChloe also gives the same composer. A curious situation, but at least the problem attributed to you appears to be sound! (2024-02-19)
Adrian Storisteanu: Above the "diagrammes" diagram there is: R. SHANKAR, Inde. In the volume index, under RETROS: this is the only problem of a composer named (just) "SHANKAR" (one original), while "RAVI SHANKAR" is a different author (with two originals). (2024-02-20)
A.Buchanan: I suggest that S.N.Ravishankar check the reaponse to the query (A='Shankar' or a='Ravishankar') AND NOT A='Shankar Ram, Narajan' as there are many other similar retros which are attributed to Ravishankar. If he can state here which ones are not his, I will happily modify the data. (2024-02-21)
