Mario Richter: Luboš Kekely (Slovakia) correctly points out that 1. ... Sf5! 2. 0-0-0 Sd6# is only a try and not a solution (last black move must have been by King or Rook, so the queenside castling is illegal).
I have changed the solution accordingly. (2023-03-10)

S N Ravi Shankar: This problem is not mine. (2019-01-02)
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)

play all play one stop play next play all
Mit folgender witziger Begründung des Autors: "If on the board are only KL-KL (and LL on squares of the same colour), by the rules of chess an immediate draw occurs! Therefore, the retro move Ka3-a4 is illegal." Ein Fehllöser: "Reichlich trivial." Ein Ratloser: "... oder wie darf ich das sehen?" TK hatte den Durchblick: "Die doppelte Rücknahmemöglichkeit kann man aber gar nicht übersehen (und schon gar nicht der Autor). Einzige Möglichkeit: nur Ka3xBa4, weil andernfalls die Stellung schon vorher patt wäre. Aber, aber: das ist remis, kein Patt!!" FR: "Meine 'Ehrenlösung' für diese Gruppe (hoffentlich stimmt sie auch)." WM: "Nette Pointe. Das erzähl' ich meinen Kindern, daß ich einen PLAKSIN gelöst habe." 1,2/I
A harbinger of Dead Reckoning-style reasoning, before that rule ever existed. As sound today in 2018, as when it was composed under "insufficient material for mate" rule.
Henrik Juel: Nice to see that I am not the only freak who mixes english text with german notation (to avoid the ambiguous B)
Were you inspired by this problem in your work on Dead Reckoning, Andrew? (2020-05-04)
A.Buchanan: Ha no: when I stumbled across DP rule I knew even less about chess problems than I know now, if you can imagine, and had never encountered this one which Werner Keym unearthed and published it in "Out Of the Box". Ecclesiastes 1:9 says "There is nothing new under the sun." Mario made this point about origin of Schnoebelen promotions too. Gollon's intepretation of Chaturanga (the earliest known forebear of chess) offers fascinating possibilities for Schnoebelen promotion, which I am sure the Indian retrograde analysts of 7th Century CE were adept at exploiting, in tablets alas now lost. See https://www.chessvariants.com/historic.dir/chaturanga.html.

The "insufficient material" composition does perhaps explain Plaksin's openness to the concept of DP, at a time when perhaps some noses elsewhere were being turned up, as he later composed with Kornilov *27* other DP problems, all to be found in PDB. (2020-05-04)
Ladislav Packa: Interesting, but on YouTube I saw a game (one of the actors was Magnus Carlsson), which ended in a position with only two kings and one of the players still made a move. (2020-05-05)
A.Buchanan: http://wismuth.com/chess/illegal-moves.html contains many other games where GMs were unable to tear themselves away from playing the dead game. I think it's kind of sweet that the GMs just can't stop playing. Have you got a link to the Carlsen game please, Ladislav? (2020-05-06)
Ladislav Packa: I'm sorry, Andrew, but I don't remember. I've seen hundreds of games on youtube. But I encountered similar cases in my own practice, mostly a joke, and the game immediately ended with a smile and a handshake. (2020-05-06)

Olaf Jenkner: Wieso wird Weiß pattgesetzt? (2010-03-02)
Mario Richter: Weil der Komponist das so wollte :-)
In fs33 ist die Forderung wie folgt wiedergegeben: "Wei� nimmt einen Zug zurück und hilft, da� Schwarz sofort pattsetzen kann." (2010-03-03)
Olaf Jenkner: Ach so, h=1 bedeutet eigentlich, daß Schwarz beginnt. (2010-03-03)
Henrik Juel: Yes, it is a bit confusing; but for retros it is an old tradition that you should not interpret one move stipulations too rigorously. (2010-03-05)
Mario Richter: But at least retro play and forward play harmonize: the side that retracted last starts the forward play. (2010-03-05)
Adrian Storisteanu: Can easily make it conform to today's accepted standards (i.e., drop the half-duplex indication):

(P. Moutecidis). Das einzügige Satzmatt 1.- D:g8# kann nicht aufrecht gehalten werden. Deshalb muß Weiß sein Ziel anders erreichen:
1. Te6+ Kf5 2. De4+ Kg5 3. Te5+ Kf6! 4. Tf5+ Kg6 5. Tf4+ Kg5! 6. Tg4+ Kh6,Kh5 7. Th4+ Kg5 8. Df4+ Kg6 9. Lf5+ Kf6 10. Le4+ Ke6 11. Df5+ Kd6 12. Dd5+ Kc7 13. Db7+ Kd6 14. De7+ Dxe7#
Trotz des Cookstoppers h3 mit nur 8 Steinen sehr ökonomisch. " Ein schwieriges Fata-Morgana-Problem mit einem unerwarteten Finale " (RJB), ganz typisch für den Autor, der sic h schon über Jahrzehnte mit beachtlichem Erfolge diesem Genre widmet. Wegen des Pseudo-Platzwechsels würde die Aufgabe natürlich nicht 100 -ig in das 180.Thematurnier passen. Danke an PM für die Widmung. Die Vergleichsaufgabe demonstriert die Vielf" altigkeit dieses Zugwechselschemas (* 1.- D:e1# - 1.Tg3+ Kf4 2.Tf3+ Kg4 3.Tf4+ Kh3 4.Dg2+ D:g2#). 8L endwindow

(W. ,A. Bruder). MW: Da das Aktivieren des abseits stehenden wS mittels 1.Sf6? zum Patt führt, kommt es "bescheiden" am Rand: 1.Sh6! Ke4 2.S:g4 Kd5 3.Lc7 Ke4 4.g3! Kd5 5.Sf6+ Kc5 6.Sd7+ Kd5 7.Lf4! Ke4 8.Sf6# IM. LV: For this problem I worked overtime! Der bekannte Mechanismus der Beschäftigungslenkung, aber der Schlüsselzug ist nicht leicht zu sehen (KHS). Eine hübsche mit Idealmatt endende Miniatur (AB)! WAB legte mir einen Vorschlag zur Verbesserung vor: wSg8 nach d5 versetzen (CO+). Lösung: 1. Se5! usw. Vorteil: kein abseits stehender wS. Allerdings hat sich keiner der Löser über die Platzierung des wSg8 negativ geäußert. Im Gegenteil: ein Zug des wS wurde eher als möglicher 2. oder 3. Zug ins Auge gefaßt. Ich meine aber, daß die neue Version einen harmonischeren, oder besser: ästhetischeren Eindruck hinterläßt. Gesamteindruck von KHS: Durchwachsenes Angebot: es kann eben nicht jeden Tag Sonntag sein!
Der letzte Satz des obigen Kommentares gehört sicher nicht zu dieser Aufgabe, sondern zum gesamten ortho-Urdruckangebot.

Wenn der wSg8 - wie oben vorgeschlagen - nach d5 versetzt wird, steht der sK im Schach! Mit wSg8->d7 löst nur 1. Se5!

Ein Löser bemängelte, dass es lange sieben Züge dauert, bis der Platzwechsel hergestellt ist und nicht schneller geht. Ich finde gerade das als Pfiff des Problems, dass es eben mit einem dreizügigen Dreieckmarsch nicht getan ist!

Langer Königsmarsch und wB-Minimal. Auf hohe Zügezahl ausgelegt. (Autor).
Eine Erweiterung der 2854(PK 12/1991). Für meinen Geschmack hat es sich kaum gelohnt(KW). Die Forderung sieht auf den ersten Blick verblüffend-absurd aus(HG).
