Le diagramme montre un aide en 2,5 avec deux solutions.
Commentaire du juge :
« A striking Meredith based on a novel dual-avoidance mechanism for Black’s sacrifices on c3 – as each mating square is potentially covered by one of the static rooks and by one choice of self-block on c5. The resulting c-file Chumakov and three pairs of exactly-analogous active function exchanges are made to look very easy in this super presentation. It’s set in motion by two piquant, slightly paradoxical, keymoves – the bishop ambush and a flight-unguard by the retreating knight..... »

A fine number 92 problems had to be judged. As in previous tournaments, the problem editor Christopher Jones attracted many composers to submit originals to The British Chess Magazine. The Problem World continues being a very successful column. The majority of the participating problems naturally were two-movers, three-movers and helpmates, and in addition seven more-movers, two helpstalemates and one reflexmate. Thanks to Wieland Bruch who checked the two-movers for originality; he found that John Rice’s problem from May 2022 is almost identically anticipated by Halvar Hermanson, Schweizer Arbeiter-Schach, IX-X 1952 (only the white king on a different square). I found that Stanislav Hudak’s helpmate from December 2023 is completely anticipated by Peter Kniest, Schachmatt, IV 1950. Paul Michelet’s 11-mover from December 2023 had duals (9.Ba3! etc.; 6.Bh4! 7.Be1 etc.), but could be saved by adding WPa2 and BPa3.
Sutarto mato trim ėjimais poskyris (h # 3) – 2022
I prizas: 4949 – Abdelazizas Onkoudas (Abdelaziz Onkoud), Prancūzija. 1...Sb2 2.Kd4 Rf3 3.Re4 Sa4#, 1...Sf2+ 2.Kf4 Bd4 3.Qe4 Sh3#, 1...Bb2 2.Bd4 Sc5+ 3.Ke3 Bc1#, 1...Sf4 2.Kf5 Sxg6+ 3.Ke6 Sf8#, 1...Bd4 2.Qe6 Rf4+ 3.Kd5 Sb4#, 1...Rf5 2.Sf4 Se1 3.Qxe5+ Rxe5#. Labai įspūdingas uždavinys. Šeši sprendiniai be dvynių nekasdienis reiškinys. Regis šis kūrinys atveria langą į dar tolimesnę ateitį. Atrodo visai neseniai atsirado HOTF (Helpmate of the future) – dvi sprendinių poros su panašiomis idėjomis. O čia jau turime tris poras po du sprendinius. Toks kūrinys nusipelno aukščiausiojo įvertinimo. Įdomi žaidimo į laukelius d4 ir f4 idėja. Pirmoje poroje į šiuos laukelius žaidžia juodųjų karalius, antroje poroje – juodųjų rikis ir žirgas, trečioje poroje atitinkamai baltųjų rikis ir žirgas. Here is an interesting idea of playing to the squares d4 and f4. In the first pair, black's king plays into these squares, in the second pair, black's rook and knight, and in the third pair, respectively, white's rook and knight.
2. EE: 19.295 (10/2020) Abdelaziz Onkoud
Strategisch interessantes Hinstellungs- und Opferspiel -für die perfekte orthogonal-diagonale Korrespondenz
sollte die schwarze Dame aber auf b6 stehen. Leider ist esdem Autor nicht gelungen, den dritten weißen Zug in das
thematische Spiel zu integrieren. Etwa zeitgleich nurwenige Wochen früher erschien eine fast identische
Aufgabe von Kolesnik und Salokotski (P1384427 in der PDB). Da lag die 19.295 aber schon beim Sachbearbeiter.
Auch diesen beiden Autoren ist es nicht gelungen, dem dritten weißen Zug strategische Bedeutung zuzuweisen
