BIT 2017 Clarification
1) "Each composer may send only one.." means "may take part with only one..."
In other words: 1 problem per composer per group.
2) Group B: Pawn moves from 2nd to 4th rank, and from 7th to 5th rank considered as line movements.
3) Group B: Each problem has to present BOTH forms of the Klasinc theme: Black-White & White-Black
4) Group C: The tourney is open for all composers, but in the case of too many entries for solving, a preliminary selection will be made by the organizers. Selected problems will be judged by the solvers, as in previous years.
5) Group C: The mating moves have to be unique ones, and should be different for both solutions.

Group B :
If the switchback is played by black, may the openning of the line be used only on the second white move ?
For example, if the black piece captures a white piece or pawn, then the switchback will open a white line.

Section B: Helpmate in two
Whether pawn promoting and promoted piece returning is considered switchback.
|
|
| (4) Posted by Miodrag Mladenović [Sunday, May 7, 2017 11:05] |
Yes, I can confirm, pawn promoting and promoted piece returning is considered switchback.

@ ichai
According thematic condition there must be gate-opening effect on the 1st move.
Annihilation of White Pawn could be concidered as additional feature, on my opinion.

@ichai
The line opening should be used on the first move (not on the second move).

1 problem per author per group seems very restrictive
could you allow more ?
|
|
| (8) Posted by seetharaman kalyan [Sunday, May 14, 2017 12:26] |
Same restriction in FIDE tourneys also. Just send the best !
|
|
| (9) Posted by ichai [Sunday, May 14, 2017 13:12] |
OK.
It just works to get the level of the tourney lower.
Limited entries limits the work of the judge, that's good, but is it needed here ??
That's why I ask for a little more flexibility

The complete tourney is compound of 5 parts, 3 composing + 2 solving tourneys. So, as a whole, it is about a certain participant and not about a certain problem.
A potential "artistic richness" of a separate composing tourney is indeed reduced by "1 entry per participant".
What about the second, third... thematic problems by one author? They, of course, may be published and compete in an informal tourney elsewhere (independently of BIT).
If it's not about competing but only about the "art", the authors could post such problems here at MatPlus after the official tourney and the "artistic richness" of the theme(s) would be presented to the public.
But would an author do that without expecting a place in an award?

"The complete tourney is compound of 5 parts, 3 composing + 2 solving tourneys. So, as a whole, it is about a certain participant and not about a certain problem."
If you have such a need for a whole tourney, you may keep for each author his best placed problem for the whole evaluation
"...A potential "artistic richness" of a separate composing tourney is indeed reduced by "1 entry per participant"..."
So you agree with me...
"...What about the second, third... thematic problems by one author? They, of course, may be published and compete in an informal tourney elsewhere (independently of BIT)..."
of course it is kind of you, but there are objections :
1) A problem is appreciated at its best when it is judged in the thematic tourney it was made for
2) why should artificially risk an author to be perhaps anticipated by this way ?
"...If it's not about competing but only about the "art", the authors could post such problems here at MatPlus after the official tourney and the "artistic richness" of the theme(s) would be presented to the public..."
The main point for rewards is to increase the chances a problem has to be quoted elsewhere
So, once again, and with all due respect, I don't understand the reason for such a limitation

I didn't express "my opinion", I just mentioned the critical points. Different viewpoints and interests will differently interpret the relevance of these points.
To "understand" the organizers, one should take a deep sincere look from their position.
The best way to do that is to organize such an event many times and then "understand" what is optimal.
I believe that the good suggestions (and practical help) for enriching the event, without overburdening the volunteers, would be appreciated.
Personally, I certainly don't like the restrictions like the number of entries or just one month for composing.
However, I shall complain when I manage to organize a better event.
So far, I can't even dream of that.

it is OK,
I don't complain,
I am happy of this event
and also of others...
I just ask for a little more flexibility.
As far as I can understand there will be no favorable answer, and it is OK like that too.

The 1st Pr. is amazing
The very interesting 3rd Pr. could also be built with model mates :
Daniel Papack
3rd Pr
version
 (= 6+10 )
h#2
1.B×b3 R×d6 2.c5 Rc6‡
1.R×c6 Bd5 2.Rc4 Bb7‡
it might be interesting to put a black pawn on d6 and to add a black bishop on h2, so that the 1st solution becomes 1.B×b3 Rb6 2.c5 Rc6‡

@ Jacques
Your version is very close to the problem sent by me:
 (= 7+10 )
1.Rxc6 Bxd5 2.Rce6 Bb7#
1.Rxf7 Rxe6 2.c5 Rc6#
Zilahi + vice versa captures of WR<->BR with switchbacks + closing of BQ diagonal/orthogonal in 2nd Black's move + model mates.
I wonder why it hasn't included in the award while the 3rd Prize has...

In the 2nd Prize, BSd6 could be replaced with BP - the pin is artificial (not nesessary) - 5r2/4pN2/R2pk3/1p1rN1P1/1K6/1B6/q1p5/1b6.
This is a flaw, in my view.

Personally I do not like adding two WS just to make model mates. Both white knights are guarding one square only. I do not think there is justification for their usage. I could accept them only if there is no other way to make correct problem but adding them. Of course that's my personal taste.
