The S promotion is a threat either in the Pedersen position. Can't say I'm bothered. :-) |

QUOTE Is it an AUW, if the queen promotion is already a threat? Perhaps in block positions.
I suppose it still counts as an AUW, but possibly not if the threat is virtual. |

To my mind all promotions must be uniquely motivated. It's easy with Q and S, not so with the others. If black has a free move that allows the threat (queen promotion), then that is not a variation. It would be a two phase problem: one with queens, one with the other three. Nothing wrong with that, only it's not an AUW. |

you could see the Lindgren composition as a Karlström-Fleck: Both 2. e8-Q and 2. e8=S are threats. There are two moves that separate the threats, and two moves which defend against both threats, resulting in an AUW on the second move. |

Well a Karlström-Fleck it is not, requiring as it does at least three threats, the same number of defences, giving new mates. |

Two promotions are delayed, but still making AUW as answer to linear movement of bB is quiet stunning, in spite of all shortcomings. |

An excellent problem despite the short threat |
