Henrik Juel: With Hans' diagram correction:
The theme is doubled, Tc1 and Tg1 are promoted and embrace the original Td1 and Tf1.
The first 19.5 moves are tested correct by Euclide 1.01 (2014-12-15)
A.Buchanan: Thanks: I have shifted the pieces. There's a typo in the FEN in Roberto's preliminary report. My FEN-PDB spreadsheet worked perfectly reproducing the typo! :D (2014-12-17)

"set play" ( -s, dann h=1 )
R: 1. Ke2xDf3, dann 1. Ke1 Dd3=
play all play one stop play next play all

Duplicate Diagram: P1187070

Adrian Storisteanu: Is the star "*" in the stipulation supposed to indicate a kind of "set play" in the retro part -- in effect a "-1s dann h=1"? Because there is one:
- 1.Ke2xQf3 & 1.Ke2-e1 Qf3-d3=. (2015-08-02)
A.Buchanan: That's a clever interpretation Adrian, I am sure you are right, and it's sound according to Deadpos (2024-01-13)
Adrian Storisteanu: A more precise stipulation would be something like: (-w -s)*, dann h=1 (2024-01-14)
A.Buchanan: Good idea. The convention is that * promises at least one set play instance. (2024-01-15)

Gunter Jordan: Ich habe nochmal die Stellung mit Phenix 335 verglichen. Die Position stimmt, die Forderung auch. Den C+ "Nachweis" fand ich in der Lösungsbesprechung. (2023-04-02)
Henrik Juel: Proof game solvers like Natch and Euclide only test the stipulated length, so for a complete test you must also try 8 moves, 7 moves, etc.
The problem may be 'saved' by stipulating 'PG in exactly 9 moves' (2023-04-02)

Dd5/T5d5/d5 2.De2/Dc8/Se5/D:b5#. Diese „Auswahl aus . . . schachbietenden Zügen“ (JB) wurde
inspiriert vom 202. TT von SuperProblem 2018. Es ging darum, dass vier Figuren in den Mittelpunkt
eines von ihnen dargestellten Kreuzes oder Sterns ziehen. Hier wird das Thema auf Basis eines Großkreuzes (Eckpunkte d7,f5,d3,b5 – Mittelpunkt d5) inszeniert – mit drei thematischen Verführungen. Eine vierte, die an 1.– d5 scheitert, ließ sich nicht realisieren. Und – ein „kleines Kreuz geht natürlich ohne Schach . . . “ (Autor) „Alle Themamatts liegen nach Selbstfesselungen der schwarzen Schwerfiguren auf d5 schon im Satz bereit. Um diese zu erzwingen, stehen Weiß vier Abzugsschachs des Sd5 zur Auswahl, von denen drei jedoch an schädlichen Selbstverstellungen je einer Mattlinie scheitern. Nur der Abzug nach c3 hält alle Optionen offen. Gefällt mir gut!“ (HJä) „Forcierte Abzüge des Batterievordersteines führen in drei Verführungen zu Verstellungen weißer Linien bzw. Entfesselung, weshalb unterschiedliche schwarze Scherfiguren auf d5 parieren können. Die Verführungen sind klar als solche erkennbar, aber ich bin eher ein Freund lautloser Züge.“ (FRd) „Die Widerlegungen werden zu Varianten. In den Verführungen gibt es zwei direkte und eine maskierte weiße Linienverstellung. Gutes Rätsel!“ (WOe) „Von solchen inhaltslosen, ausschließlich konstruktiven Themen halte ich leider gar nichts. Ich kann daher auch dieser Schachzwang-Umsetzung wenig abgewinnen.“ (KF)
Hauke Reddmann: Leider eine Dublette (außer der Verschönerung auf b6), da ich vergessen hatte, daß ich die Aufgabe bereits im MatPlus-Forum gepostet hatte. Tschulligung an die SCHWALBE. (2022-10-23)
