Thanks, Misha, for the material and congratulations on Serbia's 1st place and your own very good result. An off-topic question, is there any easy way to have diagrams appearing in a table the way you did? I know basic html (at least all what I needed so that to build the Halkidiki and Eretria WCCC sites).

Harry: "... is there any easy way to have diagrams appearing in a table ... ?"

I think that I should answer this question. At the moment the only way is to use html markups, but the care must be taken about newline characters. Current (rather primitive) text rendering module replaces all newlines with to html <br> tag. Therefore, within a table the hard line breaks are harmless only inside the <td> ... </td> object. If line is broken at logical location, e.g. :

...(some text)</td>[NL]
<td>(text...)

you will not get the expected result. For instance, IE will move ALL such linebreaks in front of the entire table making sometimes a pretty big lead above it.

I have been planning a completely new text rendering for several weeks, but I want it to do it right - and it requires more time than I can spare now. However, I will do some fixes in current module just to prevent this peculiar linebreaks behaviour and maybe to ease table creation (for instance to type ^t instead of </td><td> or ^r instead of </tr><tr>, some shortcuts like that).

Harry, thanks for your congrats. As Milan already answered the only problem is with a new lines. I first typed well formatted HTML text. But then at the end I had to remove new line characters at the end of lines. Otherwise, each new line character generates one blank row in front of table. I'll send you through an email HTML text that I had to type to create table from above. I thought to type it here but it's not possible because it will display it incorrectly.

Are the results of the composing tourneys already published?

Congratulations for 1st place for Serbia team!!
I am pleasantly surprised that one of my problem (5.Pl.Liga Problemista 1984, h#2, 4111, 8+12) was among others for solving competition and as I can see from solvers table some of them could not solve it.
Problem shows 4 different ways of unpinning black bishop in combination with bishop star.
But I must put remark, because I am real author of this problem, not my father Bozidar as it was written above the diagram and it is general mistake what appears often with some of my problems recently!
In fact, my father Bozidar who is international chess master from 1957, born 1933 and in relatively good condition nowadays, composed only one published problem (mate in two) in Yugoslav chess journal "Sah" 1949!?
So, all other problems which have been reproduced in chess problem history with family name Djurasevic is mine (as far as I know) until my sons Dejan and Kira will start to compose!? I was born in 1957, three days after Marjan Kovacevic and one day after Michel Caillaud (in a very good company!).

Frank, results of composing tourneys are published too. There are too many diagrams and I do not have them in electronic form. However I checked your problems and you've got I/II Prize for your S#2 (wKf1/bKb5). You also won 2nd HM for your S#3 (wKe8/bKd5). Congratulations! I am sure you will gat a booklet later on from organizers.

(last digression here)
I think now from now on it will be easier (if not trivial) to format tables - See more...

I've got an email from Chris Feather. He is not planning to publish his H#6 anywhere else so he asked me to add diagram of his problem.

Please note that I update name of H#2 Author. Branislav Djurasevic confirmed for me that this is his problem and not a problem of his father Bozidar.
