h#3 b) BPe7-->e5 6+9
a) 1.Re3 Rf4 2.Kd6 b4 3.Re6+ Rd4#
b) 1.Bg4 Bf4 2.Kf6 h4 3.Be6+ Bg5#

Spectacular combination of white and black interferences with battery creation and cross-checks. [Zivko Janevski]

BR interferes with BB along the long diagonal on two different squares for two completely different model mates. Critical play with different motives on both solutions: in first to enable the interference on e7, in second to determine the order of white moves because WS can play only after BR passes the critical square e3. [Milan Velimirovic]


297. Nikola Stolev
Macedonia







h#3 b) WSc8-->d6 4+13
a) 1.Rf7 Kb5 2.Bf6 Rc5: 3.Rc4 Bf5#
b) 1.Bg7 Kc5: 2.Rf6 Bb5 3.Bc4 Re3#

Two black Grimshaw interferences, one with anticritical moves, the other for unpin purpose. There is also analogy in the white strategy: Kings move opens the line for line-mover, it passes the vacated square allowing black man to move there with unpin of white. Good white economy, but plenty of black pieces is used only to tie the white position. [Milan Velimirovic]

h#6 3+1
1.Kg2 a4 2.Kf3 a5 3.Ke4 a6 4.Kd5 a7 5.Kc6 a8Q+ 7.Kb6 Qb7#

White and black play consisting of mutually independent series of moves ends with unusual BK-not-on-edge mate. I found nothing similar in Dr. Niemanns Wenigsteiner im Hilfsmatt, but this book is printed twenty years ago... [Milan Velimirovic].

Compare Ke8, Pe4, f2 - Ka1; h#6, 0.1...; by "W. Spé (= André Minost, I suppose) in Problemkiste 99, Juni 1995, p. 70; solution: 1...f4 5...f8-D 6. Ke6 De7# This can also be found as problem no. 211 in "Georges Lestriguel's" (= André Minost, again) compilation "1995 CHM avec 3, 4, 5 pièces". Get it, and its companion piece "1996 CHM avec 6 pièces" - they are remarkable! Together they contain over 11000 h#s!. [HT]
