Alfred Dombrovskis himself, as well as Soviet theory, would hardly agree. They say mates are to be provided by the key-move (not to exist in the set-play). This important element of the theme was somehow lost in translation – from Russian to letters A, B, C…
It means only Zhuravlev’s example presents the theme in more than 2 variations. However, the absence of the threat (block with many black duals) makes this example inferior, if thematic at all. | | (2) Posted by Jacques Rotenberg [Thursday, Oct 4, 2012 00:17]; edited by Jacques Rotenberg [12-10-04] | It seems nowadays that the definition of 'Dombrovskis theme' is the formal definition :
1.X[A#] a!
1.Y[B#] b!
and then : 1.Z followed with 1...a 2.A#, 1...b 2.B#
It seems clear that it is not the complete intention of Dombroskis himself who added - as far as I know - conditions about the key of the solution that would bring the changes and a threat.
The Dombrovskis theme have escaped the strict will of Dombroskis himself.
the 4-fold shown are of course weak forms of Dombrovskis, but it seems too much to discard them. | | (3) Posted by Marjan Kovačević [Thursday, Oct 4, 2012 20:58] | No intention to discard these five examples (I rewarded one of them), but to separate them from multiple presentations of the theme in it's original form. | | (4) Posted by Zalmen Kornin [Friday, Oct 5, 2012 12:45] | Perhaps should we call that program "Ideal-D." !? - and the bare formula "The D." (A strict aplication of Dombrovskis will would reduce drastically the number of acceptable D.s! - for instance: most of the lightweights are (sic) Zzw ; or: even in some quite accomplished "Ideal", Try defence finds an empty square, and Real play variation, a white unit that (not incidentally) was the one that played the Try move.) - Or: "Half-Ideal" examples, etc | | (5) Posted by Joose Norri [Saturday, Oct 6, 2012 06:26] | And the same question about other related themes. In which of them is it considered obligatory that the changes are provided by the key? Is it a matter of common agreement or the originators' will? Or can it be logically substantiated? | | No more posts |
