Do you know nice examples of the Plachutta theme in 2#?
(I even just managed to do a 180 degree Plachutta!
- Of course with a checking key. Probably this is not
needed in the standard 90 degree case.)

Black or White Plachuta? Black is hardly possible in a twomover since theme requires two moves: 1) interference and 2) Decoy.
For White Plachutta a black sacrificial move is missing before the first white move - or is it?

1.Qxe5+? Kxd2 2.Qf4#, 1... Kxf2! 2.Bd4??

1... Kxf2 2.Bd4#
Pawn sacrifice was the last black move before the position on diagram.

Yup, the black sacrifice was "just" in the past here -
extremely cool problem!
No, I meant black Plachutta or Holzhausen, and no, you don't need
a decoy for either: wBa8,wRb7,sRb6,sRc7,sKd5, 1...R(x)c6 2.Rb5/d7
Although the effect is rather more related to a Nowotny. I dimly remember
Brunner used that matrix. Or was it Kraemer/Zepler?

Well, I had the impression that Plachutta needs a decoy, by definition. Yet, I see what you mean (although I do not personally consider it a Plachutta). You will not be surprised, I guess, that this has been done quite a few times, see the below problems that I found in the WinChloe database.

WinChloe includes one more fairy example by Jérôme Auclair, published in Phénix in 1998, but I don't know how I can draw the siamese pieces! :)

THX for the examples. I hope I find the Brunner (Kraemer? Zepler)
problem so I can see what a Neudeutscher says on the matter.
The last two problems are especially interesting. Is it the same
theme, in spite of the double checks? I would say yes, since
RxS would parry if the other R on g7 would be permeable :-)
