On April 4 (20h), Dinu-Ioan Nicula will join the BPCF jubilee with his 10th BPCF mini lecture.
Dinu has been researching interesting and often dramatic life stories from the history of Romanian chess composition. Each BPCF presented some of them.
This time, we shall hear the story "Leon Loewenton - Giving check to Gestapo". It is occasioned by the 50th commemoration of Loewenton's death and inspired by his book of memories from the French Resistance, issued at Bucharest in 1944 under the title "Tracked by Gestapo/Urmariti de Gestapo"

I have question about "Group C". All samples do have 3 solutions and I did compose problem with three solutions. But today when I opened tournament announcement I noticed that two solutions are required. Is this mistake in announcement or there should be two solutions only? But then the question is why all samples do have three solutions?

Thanks for noting the mistake!
The tourney is for ser-h#3, 3 solutions, as indicated by all 12 examples!
The initial idea was h#3, 2 solutions, but we gave it up as too difficult for solving in 2 hours. There was no mistake in the first announcement, but after an update the old stipulation came out! Sorry!
The announcement is corrected now.

It is not fair, just on Marjan's birthday. I am joking!

The complete Bulletin is in the Mat Plus DL Archive now:
http://www.matplus.net/pub/BPCF2014.pdf
What about – you may see from the introduction:

"Early April brought us some rain, some novelties and a very good company. The standard program was extended to three composing tourneys, and two solving competitions, thanks to the experimental Composing/Solving/Judging event. We were happy to see two distinguished new participants, Jorma Paavilainen and Aleksandr Bulavka, as well as successful come-back of Michel Caillaud, who went unbeaten in the Open Solving Championship of Serbia, with the perfect score. It was his second appearance and the second win – the only reason to prevent Marko Filipović winning three times in a row. Still, Marko won the other solving event, with another perfect score, and was motivated to try his composing skills in the tensed race for Overall Winner. At the end, this title belonged to Miodrag Mladenović, equally successful in 4 out of 5 competitions. The winners of composing tourneys were Valery Shanshin, Dragan Stojnić, and Borislav Gadjanski.
The organizers’ proud was to have five domestic juniors in the field. Among them, Dragan Čiča (18) and Živojin Perović (14) were best in the main solving event, while Marko Ložajić (15), Mihailo Savić (13) and Ilija Serafimović (10) successfully took part in both solving and composing.
There were some Mini Lectures, and some more “Mini-Mini” Lectures. Dinu-Ioan Nicula, the only foreign participant of all 10 Belgrade Festivals, took risk of being late on Romanian Youth Chess Championship (as the jude), to keep the tradition of his lectures. We heard the touching story "Leon Loewenton - giving check to Gestapo", occasioned by the 50th commemoration of Loewenton's death. Lecture was inspired by his book of memories from the French Resistance, issued at Bucharest in 1944 under the title "Tracked by Gestapo/Urmariti de Gestapo". The other highlight was a tribute to the recently passed away Wolfgang Dittmann and his work in retro analysis, by Michel Caillaud. Siegfried Hornecker sent us his study-greeting to be presented, and it made quite an effect on the audience.
Many people participated in the organization, run by the Serbian Problem Chess Society, and we could mention only some of them. Professor Miloš Nedeljković offered a large solving hall in the Faculty of mechanical engineering. The “Beograd” Chess Club, and its president Aca Milićević were traditional hosts of other events. Gligor and Ivan Denkovski were solving judges again, with a solvers-friendly selection. Gligor couldn’t come to Belgrade, but there was Borislav Ilinčić to help Ivan. Composing tourneys were conducted and judged by Borislav Gadjanski and Marjan Kovačević, with Darko Šaljić as the neutral judge. Branislav Djurašević organized another excursion – a visit to the “Nikola Tesla” Museum. Last but not least, the master of social activities was Milomir Babić, with his self-prepared (strong) drinks and food. We hope this year was a good enough announcement for the 11th BPCF 2015."
See you next spring!

I wonder what happened with the appeal about one solution of ser-h#3:
4th Pl. N.B.Joksimović
1.Bf2 2.Ke3 3.Qd4 Sd5#
Preliminary, 1 point was given only if the mate was written as 1... Sfd5#, although wSb4 is pinned and it can't be played 1... Sbd5+?? (4.Kxd3).
The scores in the final table show that the solution written in the same way as it is written (now officially) under the diagram, does not deserve 1 point. Or perhaps, there's some other explanation.

But that is not important, I'm grateful for such a rich event with wonderful atmosphere, perfectly and warmly organized.
And as always, my sincerest congratulations to all participants and of course to all organizers.

I remember vividly the room where you hold the lectures and ceremony, but the solving itself was in a different building? The entrance photo also looks not like what I remember. :-)

Also, what is the position on this man's shirt (maybe some database search can find it)? Apologies, I don't know his name. If he reads this, I'd be interested in the story why he had printed the position on it.

Dear Siegfried,

this handsome devil, whoever he is, has dared to print my first published composition on his T-shirt:)

JP, Satakunnan Kansa 1975
Kh2 Qe7 Ra4 Ba2 b8 Sf2 pg2 h5 h6 - Kf5 Rb3 Bd2 Sc1 pb6 c3 e6 f4 h7
2#,9+9
- three changed mates
- I do not yet know how to make diagrams, sorry for that

About Belgrade: the solving venue was indeed not the club where the meetings were held, but a very nice and spacious hall at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
All in all, the event was well organised and I am sure to return there next year. Hope to see you and other problemists there.

Br, Jorma P
