PROBLEM WORLD
by David Friedgood,
We have a cheerful assortment of ideas on display this month. In terms of difficulty, only Steven's F is likely to cause
headaches and even then the determined solver would sooner or later twig where the black king gets mated,
whereupon the moves follow almost automatically. Abdelaziz dedicates his E to his friend Jean Marc Loustau.
In a helpmate, Black plays first and helps White to mate Black in the stipulated number of moves. In Michael's D there
is a twin position, where switching the diagram positions of black king and white rook yields a new helpmate for
solving. Abdelaziz's E has a simpler twin, just a small shift of the white pawn h3 to g4 providing a second
helpmate with a strong thematic relationship to its sibling.
The BCM Composing Championship accepts entries from individual composers of any problem genre, excluding
"fairy" pieces or boards, or conditions too complex to explain in our restricted space. All entries will be rated out of a
maximum ten points by the judge, Hans Gruber (Germany). The composer's score and rank in the Championship will
then be determined by the total of his/her two best works.

« The two solutions echo each other with great precision and show role reversal between the two white
officers. A bonus is the fact that the mates are models, i.e. the squares in the mated king's field are guarded
or blocked just once - except when there is a pinned piece as here - and all white pieces, with the permissible
