A few final words...
So, here we are again, after another
great tournament, maybe one of the most exhausting one... not only for the participants,
but also for me!
The idea worked quite well, with
a few problems of its own of course, but the result is as always of the highest
quality.
In many cases it was not possible
to validate the problems with the computer, thus one needs to put extra effort
to verify them as best as possible from a human perspective at least.
Many of the problems remain C?,
thus, although hopefully none is, there may unfortunately be some which turn
out to be incorrect.
As said previously, the quality
was really high, with some fantastic problems and ideas discovered as you will
soon find out.
The C category, for Parry problems,
that was added after the start also proved most interesting; although most complex
no doubt. Few problems were composed in total in both sub-categories, but they
are all special, with an out-of-this-world idea that seems unbelievable to turn
out C+.
Congratulations to Arno for winning the A1,
B1 and C1 categories, and also the number of records category!
Arno must be said found a truly unbelievable idea, a super cage, that
works just perfectly! Amazing stuff... and all his entries are C+!
A thousand thanks to all the participants!
Without their dedication, friendship, imagination and artistic skills, there
would probably not have been as many as 7 tournaments now :)
I will not comment on any of the
problems to let you appreciate them first independently; feel free to send me
yours and I will add them accordingly.

A nice version that
places emphasis on the logical idea behind the problem rather than
the record.
Author: "Without
wQc8 this could be solved in two moves: 1.a4-a3! 2.g7-g6 + Kf5-f4
=
Therefore Black must
promote a black knight on b1 that can capture the wQ coming from
a7. However, after 10.b2-b1S? Black has not enough maneuvering force
to achieve that goal. Therefore, first a black queen must be promoted
and only the bPb5 can become a knight!" |
