Schiffmann


Anyone who has Odette Vollenweider's (or should I say Gabriel Baumgartner's!) book "Fazinierendes Schachproblem. Kompositionen von I.A.Schiffmann" might like to note the following:

No.41 is a correction of 88 The Problemist, March 1927
No.44 is 273 The Problemist, September 1928
No.99 is 4th Commend, BCPS 7th Ty. 1929
No.102 is 2nd HM BCPS 6th Ty. 1928 (award published in May 1928)
No.103 is 3rd HM BCPS 6th Ty. 1928 (award published in May 1928)


Two problems which are not in "Fazinierendes Schachproblem":

I wonder if an anti Schiffmann theme exists (in the key of a twomover, white moves into at least two pins)?

I tried but it seems hard to realize in an acceptable position (I only found one where the key takes two flights which I won't like to publish since it's lowest quality).

PS: I was sent following famous position (intentionally no diagram here to spam not too much).

Well, MatPlus is not 4chan, the postings only come in
sparingly (must have to do with the economy rule :-),
so even if you'd usurp 90% of traffic it's not spam.
Even considering a problem so famous that I recognized
it immediately after setting up only the 3 top rows :P

Hauke

P.S. But why do you call that anti-Schiffmann?
OK, White pins himself anticipating an unpinning, but
neither it defends against anything nor has Black
the possibility to let him rot in the pin.

H. Reddmann, Problem-Form No.354, #2
(= 9+4 )

Also something anti-Schiffmann-esque:
White may not interfere with the pinning line or else
the Schiffmann defense comes out as a rebuttal.
