Mutate try (1.Qd2?) is (non-threat) thematic try in a mutate. [Author]
Tony's speciality: not-mutate-like Mutate. [Milan Velimirovic]
A typical TL mutate, pleasant to solve but not especially modern. [Jorma Paavilainen]

Lacny theme. [Author]
Intention to combine Lacny theme with three phase Zagoruiko crashed upon the unavoidable dual 2.Sf6 in try 1.Qf2?. So, this remains only a cyclic shift in well known mechanism. [Milan Velimirovic]
Changed play between 1.Tb4? and solution, not bad. [Jorma Paavilainen]

Short-cut Lacny and one additional change. Inspired by M. Velimrovic's article "Shift if shift can" (Mat Plus 6-7/1996). While working I realized that mechanism can be based on 6 critical squares (f5, f4, e4, d4, d5, e6) while 7th (d6) serves for additional change. [Author]
Didn't understand the substance of this one, waiting anxiously for more expert comments and composer! [Jorma Paavilainen]

Didn't find any decent tries and the solution doesn't thrill. [Jorma Paavilainen]

Flight giving key, pin-mates after king's flights and correction play by BQ. Nice, though not too ambitious. [Milan Velimirovic]

Knight tour opens four white batteries to control four BK flights, with four Fleck and four Karlstrom mates. [Author]
