A.Buchanan: The whole point of this ornamental problem is the symmetry. Any correction must preserve that. How about getting rid of the 2 rooks and the g-h-file bishops, then shift wBe4 to a4? 8/2n5/4p3/4N3/BKPk4/4N3/4p3/2n5? (2022-12-16)
Yuri Bilokin: I agree that the position should be symmetrical and economical, without unnecessary figures. The value of the positions reflected here is close to zero. (2022-12-16)

Benkö in 'My Life': "Creating a double Queen sacrifice like this is quite an achievement, yet the judge in the Schach Echo helpmate contest didn't appreciate it and only awarded the problem an honorable mention. Later, this problem became one of the most popular examples of the bad judging that is so common in publications."
TLi: a) There are no sacrifices, only captures.
b) The wQ can be omitted without changing the solutions.

Bad judging, indeed! (2023-02-16)
