Minimal Material To Correctly Show A Theme In The #2 As per the title, here are a few examples.
#2
(= 4+1 )
#2
(= 4+2 )
#2
(= 5+1 )
What other themes have known minimal showings in the twomover? |

(= 2+1 )
#2
Or am I misinterpreting your question? |

Speckmanns 3+4 piecer book, theme register?! :-)
(Sorry, it's 22:22 and I'm straightly heading for bed.
No idea if it has a theme register at all...) |

It's 23:00 (thank you very much, Malcom :-) and yes, "Kleinste Schachaufgaben"
DOES have a theme register. Not much 2# content though (did you know you
can do a Roman with 4 pieces?).
But that costed me ten seconds. A whopping 30 minutes (gasp!) went
into a starflight (even with 4 different mates) with 5 pieces:
(= 4+1 )
No hits on Albrecht or YACPDB.
EDIT: Improved, no taking of unthematic flights.
(= 4+1 )
SON OF EDIT: But there is a ton of 5 piece star flights on YACPDB. I still search
for the "perfect" rendering (no checking key, no promotion key, no duals, no fifth flight,
four different mates). |

@Joost. That was the obvious one. A knight promotion one will take lot more black men, but can be W-minimal. |
|
(6) Posted by Hauke Reddmann [Thursday, Jul 7, 2022 08:59] |
A lot? Hardly, 2+4 suffice :-) (Hint: YACPDB 327793, only without the joke)
B promotion: 3+2, didn't try minimal yet. (Edit: 2+16 without promoted
blacks, 21133 Albrecht, I now remember I saw it before) |

Knight promotion can be done with 3+1 (by several authors in some form or another).
(= 3+1 )
#2
And as minimal you don't need that much material either.
(= 2+5 )
#2
[EDIT: See later in the thread, this can be done much more economical 2+3]
Bishop is also easy with 3+1 (also by several authors in some form or another, usually in some form of twin with the knight promotion)
(= 3+1 )
#2
Bishop minimal on the other hand is much harder, the Bo Lindgren composition that Hauke mentioned is actually the only minimal I could find.
(= 2+16 )
#2 (Bo Lindgren, Deutsche Schachzeitung 1977)

Here is one original!
(= 2+7 )
#2 (b) Move g6 -> g5 |

Could be Zugzwang 3+2
#2 W: Kf8,Pd7,Pg6; B:Kh8,Sh6; Twin: Sh6-g8 |

What is the issue with 2+3?
(= 2+3 )
Mate in 2
I think this was used many times in endgame studies (not in this exact setting, obviously).
Now in this setting I don't find a twin, but it should be possible to make a similar one with a twin, I think. |
|
(12) Posted by seetharaman kalyan [Friday, Jul 8, 2022 06:56] |
@Nikola, that is a nice one!
If a twin were possible in 2+3 setting that would be great too! |
|
(13) Posted by Hauke Reddmann [Friday, Jul 8, 2022 11:23] |
@Joost: It's "rec", not "id". Example (we missed the Q :-)

@Nikola Predrag
To compare to your version no.10 ShankarRam quotes his Madrasi #2. It has a similar setting but shows the Vladimirov theme in the tries and after one of the solutions!
Feenschach, 1983
(= 3+2 )
#2vvv Madrasi. Two solutions |

Letter noodle salad!
Obvious Banny is obvious.
Simple (4 pieces): https://www.yacpdb.org/#141546
Cyclic (7 pieces): http://www.schach-udo.de/albrecht/albrecht2/?rec=13339
Hannelius too.
Simple (5 pieces): https://www.yacpdb.org/#487732
Cyclic (7 pieces): https://www.yacpdb.org/#448500
(With thematic dual mates; can't find the SCHWALBE miniature without.)
I always confuse Dombrowskis and Dombrowskis paradox, have both :-) (5 pieces)
https://www.yacpdb.org/#516969
Dombrowskis+Rudenko+Shedey (5 pieces)

Vladimirov? May be Banny!? |
|
(18) Posted by seetharaman kalyan [Monday, Jul 11, 2022 11:08] |
Yes Banny! Thanks for pointing out Me Gurov |
|
(19) Posted by Hauke Reddmann [Monday, Jul 11, 2022 20:15] |
Vladimirov can be done with 5 pieces either.
Extremely simple example: https://www.yacpdb.org/#146465
Reciprocal mate change with 6 pieces: https://www.yacpdb.org/#139357
A whopping 14 but extremely light for cyclic change: https://www.yacpdb.org/#31584 |
