Mat Plus Informal Tourney: Moremovers 1994
This was a small tourney. However, the quality was high and more than compensated for the number of problems. |

2nd Prize: No.9 by H.-P. Rehm (Germany). Hans Peter is a master of making Grimshaws where I succeeded only with Novotnys. However, this Grimshaw-from-Novotny is much less impressive than his magnificent First Prize from Lishinsky MT. 1.Sd6+ Kc5: 2.Sb5+! Kc4 3.Bf5! ~ 4.Rc3+ Kd5: 5.Rc5#, 3... Re3 4.Sd6+ Kc5 5.Se4+ & 6.Sd2:#, 3... Be3 4.Sd6+ Kc5 5.Sf7+ & 6.Se5#
1st Hon. Mention: No.41 by N. A. Parhomenko (Ukraina). A great find in the field of classic "Fata Morgana" moremovers. Kb1 Qf2 Pa2 (3) - Kd1 Pa3 d3 (3), #6*, *1... d2 2.Qf1#, 1.Qe3! d2 2.Ka1! Kc1 (2... Kc2? 3.Qb3+ Kc1 4.Qb1#) 3.Qf4! Kc2 4.Qc4+! Kd1 5.Qe4! Kc1 6.Qb1#.
2nd Hon. Mention: No.10 by D. Ljubomirovic (Yugoslavia). A good forplan, but the trick with Bishop blocking the squares controlled by the WS has been seen too many times. Ka7 Rc6 Sd8 h1 Pb3 c5 e2 f4 (8) - Kb5 Bh7 Pa6 b4 d3 e6 h4 (7), #7, 1.Rb6+? Kc5: 2.Se6:+ Kd5 3.Sf2 ~ 4.e4+ Be4: 5.Sg4, 3... de2!, 1.Rd6! ~ 2.Sb7 ~ 3.Rb6#, 1... Be4 2.Rb6+ Kc5: 3.Se6:+ Kd5 4.Sf2 Bh7 5.e4+! Be4: 6.Sg4.
1st Comm.: No.39 by A. Feoktistov (Russia). Two good but disjointed variations. Ka1 Qb5 Rd5 f3 Bd1 g5 (6) - Ke4 Re7 h7 Bg6 Sa5 Pc7 d4 d6 e5 g3 g7 (11), #4, 1.Bd2! ~ 2.Rd4:+ Kd4:/ed4 3.Bc3+/Rf4+ Ke4/Ke3 4.Qd3/Qe2#, 1... Rf7 2.Re3+! Kf5/de3 3.Rde5:+/Dd3+ Kf6/Kf4 4.Re6/Le3#, 1... Rh4 2.Bc2+! Kf3: 3.Qf1+ Kg4 4.Bd1#
2nd Comm.: No.40 by M. Kovacevic (Yugoslavia). Unfortunately, the solution is the poorest of three alternatives. Kc6 Bf6 Pb4 d2 e2 (5) - Ka7 (1), #6
