MatPlus & MatPlus Review Winter 2008
Preliminary version as downloadable:
p.85: Loustau & Akobia (1145) is probably a draw study (at least it ends in a nice one).
PS: Now that it is out, I can tell: The title of 1142 by me is an anagram of the name of the composer this study is dedicated to.

I confirm!
This study is a Draw, not a win!

p.206-207 MPR Winter 2008, article by Grigory Popov: "Promotion Records"
Neither Grigory Popov nor Michael McDowell knew the following problem, both giving lower records for bishop promotions:
 (= 15+8 )
David Zimbeck
Die Schwalbe 2003 (problem no. 11740), 3rd commendation(!)
Mate in 6
1.exf8B Qxf8 2.d8B Rxd8 3.cxd8B Qxd8 4.b8B Qxb8 5.axb8B Bxf7 6.Bxe5 mate
This clearly obsoletes the record given in MPR Winter 2008 after Morse Aug 9 1995 / Jan 8 2001
PS: Found in Schwalbe issue 231, June 2008, p.476-477.

The other day, Gary Kevin Ware used this problem on his chessproblem.net column and pointed out, David Zimbeck has a website at http://www.zimbeckchess.com/
Also, I found Sir Morse updates his book in The Problemist. Can someone check if he already published this problem there?
Best,
Siegfried

Jeremy Morse confirmed in the new Problemist (November 2010) that he didn't know the Zimbeck problem and also quotes some problems by Grigori Popov from MPR 2009.
