An Anti-Belen Theme?
Every theme, as far I know, has it’s anti form. As far as I know, that means either that the theme affects are oppositely shown in some way, or a position is reached where it would normally be done, but it isn’t. I don’t entirely know.
What do think that an Anti-Belen theme would be like? In my thinking, the Black king still goes from from c1 to d3. Then comes the anti-part-The BK is mated by Rd1# instead of 0-0-0#, because the WK needs to cover a flight sqaure on e1 instead of c1. I think that this shows an opposite effect.
What do you think?
To show my idea, here is a #3 with just 8 pieces of what I currently (I am open to debate) think an Anti-Belen exhibits, as stated above.
WTM, #3
 (= 7+1 )

I'd find it convincing if you have 2 variants, one with
OOO#, one with Rd1#. Otherwise it's a bit academical.
Also, consider running from d3 to c1 between R and K :-)

Done and done Hauke!
Here’s the two varaint problem you suggested with Rd1# and 0-0-0#. I personally call it “The Double-Edged Sword.” It wasn’t actually all that difficult. My #3 from above just needed some modifications,
WTM, #3-Belen And Anti-Belen Themes
 (= 9+4 )
Solutions: Belen: 1. Nc3+ Kc2 2. axb4 Kd3 3. 0-0-0# OR Anti-Belen: 1. axb4 Kc2 2. Na3+ Kd3 3. Rd1#
And the BK going going from d3 to c1:
WTM, #3
 (= 9+4 )
I will not be suprised if either task is dualed or if better economy can be achieved.
EDIT: Here’s a much more silent and bloodless version of the BK d3-c1 journey with the same piece count.
WTM, #3
 (= 9+4 )

Hauke and J., would this be Belen+Anti-Belen (regardless of retro/forward solving)?

Nikola, I’m not really to knowledgble about SPGs, so perhaps explain what makes you think of SPG as Belen+Anti-Belen?

Very easy to solve.
1.e4 d5 2.Se2 Kd7 3.Sg3 Kc6 4.Bb5+ K:b5 5.c4+ K:c4 6.Qa4+ Kd3 7.Qb5+ Kc2 8.d3 K:c1 9.Sd2+ Kc2 10.Sc4 K:d3 11.0-0-0 mate
This seems to be Belen and Anti-Belen, yes!

Thanks Siegfried! I see now! It truly is a Belen and an Anti-Belen! It is Belen in that be the BK goes from c1 to d3 and is mated by 0-0-0#, and it is Anti-Belen in that the BK goes for d3 to c1, between the WK and WR.
Very nice Nikola! I especially like the long switchback of the BK!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It's rather simple but illustrates the idea.

@Nikola
I took the liberty to post your SPG as a small puzzle to a mainstream audience.

The original Anti-Belen was presented in "harmonie" 2006, in the form of a *h#2, where the set-play was 1.0-0-0#, and the solution was the d3-c2-c1 manoeuvre by the bK, with the c1 square made accessible during the play, by 'b1' being occupied by the same wN that delivers the checkmate.
***** Nikola, bravo for the neat SPG!!

I presume you mean this problem from this earlier forum on chessproblemnet about the Belen theme?: https://www.chessproblem.net/viewtopic.php?t=60
THE ANTI-BELÉN
"harmonie" 2006, h#2
It’s great!
 (= 4+3 )
Are you the author of it, or is someone else? And. what is the “harmonie?”
It’s great!
Also, Just For Fun:
Minimal Belen h#2
 (= 5+1 )
Minimal Anti-Belen, Rd1#, h#2
 (= 5+1 )
Minimal Anti-Belen, BK-d3-c2-c1, h#2
 (= 4+1 )

Rewan: Yes, is mine. It arrived already to WinChloe (a fine database).
* With "Thanks to FR" i was aknowledging the mag's then Editor for accepting a little bagatelle that surely would be too light a snack for their hungry solvers...
Nice that You liked it... (those involved with the Belen "catch the joke"...)

**** to ***: After I sent in the 5th cooked version of a moremover
coproduction, the co long having given up, my excuse being that I'm a
2# expert and having no n# solving programs, the SCHWALBE "Sachbearbeiter"
got desparate and fixed it himself, even refusing coauthorship.
This is the exception! For rule, see *** again! :-)
