Many thanks!
Is it possible for you to make a single PDF instead of multiple files? |

I have created single PDF files for the issues 36/2011 and 37/2012.
If Paul does not mind, I can upload them and post the links here. |

Please, one question about the 11th TT: Glasgow chess with promotions of pawns on the 7th/2th rank is often extended to Glasgow Circe, where the also rebirth squares are shifted to 6th&7th/3rd&2nd ranks. I think, if pawn promotions are thorn into mix, this would be clearly in line with tourney demand. But what about Glasgow Circe problems where no promotions actually occur? |

Definition of Glasgow Chess: Pawns are promotes on their seventh (white) or second (black) rank instead of the eight or first.
The tourney has two sections:
a) fairy problems;
b) retro problems.
In both sections, combinations with other genres, fairy units, are allowed, but Vielväterstellung problems are not allowed.
So, to answer to your questions:
1. The Glasgow version with promotions on 6th / 3rd ranks are not accepted.
2. Problems with no promotions are accepted. |

Juraj doesn't ask for promotions on the 6th rank, but for shifted rebirth squares (e.g. the black queen is reborn on d7, not d8). |

Yes. If white promotes on seventh rank, where does a captured white fairy piece reappear? 7th or 8th rank? |

In Popeye, I know two ways where GlasgowChess can affect a game even if the game has no promotion:
- In Circe GlasgowChess, captured fairy pieces reappear on their 7th rank.
- In Sentinelles GlasgowChess, sentinels appear on non-promotion ranks, so on ranks 1,3,4,5,6,8.
I've copied both of these behaviors in Jacobi.
I think that Juraj Lörinc is talking about something which doesn't exist in Popeye, but if it were it would be called "Circe Glasgow" (with traditional name "GlasgowCirce").
This feels a lot like the difference between Circe EinsteinChess and Circe Einstein. Technically, Circe Einstein isn't an extension of EinsteinChess, so keeping the same logic, I don't think that Circe Glasgow would be an extension of GlasgowChess. "Circe Glasgow" is a Circe variant and the only power of Circe variants is to modify the rebirth process; promotions would still occur on the 8th rank. To get both effects one would need to combine Circe Glasgow with GlasgowChess. |
