My study (p.19, no.758) is not incorrect, dear MC and SD. You must've misunderstood something. This one is correct, since 2.Se3?? d1Q 3.Sxd1 e3+ makes a tres bonne nuit [1] for white.
Dear Mihail Croitor, please send your analyses per note or mail so I can have a look. :-)
Didn't know my comments are also printed. Should've known that, my fault. I shouldn't comment my compositions, I think.
[1] (lit. very good night, I can't express it in english and don't know if an idiom like this exists in french at all, but there should be a double meaning of tres bonne - nuit and tres - bonne nuit with the latter one being what you say when you go to sleep (here black saying to white))
PS: Welcome to Rudolf Larin from Novosibirsk (of #4 no.751)!

I am inputting some of the MP29 originals into WinChloe right now, and I just found a slight but unfortunate mistake in the original No.931 (MPID 696). The first name of Babić is not Miroslav, he must be Milomir Babić (isn't he the funny guy that I met in a Belgrade meeting a couple of years ago?) This is not my mistake, the problem was entered by someone else, but I should have noticed it anyway.
Milan, please check that he is indeed Milomir Babić (WinChloe includes two more composers with the same family name, Branko and Ninoslav, could he be the latter, perhaps?)
Edit : Same goes for No.949 (MPID 697)

The name is Milomir Babić. The problem was entered by me, the error is mine.
Yes Harry, this is the man whom you met in Beograd, he can be very funny. However, he is also a kind of lazy man: he prefers to give me his problems hand-written and hand-drawn on small pieces of paper instead of typing them himself directly into the Input Form on this site. You must understand that the editor is all alone dealing with (or against) many as lazy people as Milomir is (we all call him by his nickname: Mića / ć = like English "ch", but pronounced slightly softly, maybe "tj", or "Mitya"). If you are like him, possible errors are as much yours as they are editor's.

Thanks, Milan. Yes, it is indeed a shame that not so many people are using the online input form (I noticed that even active members of the forum most of the times prefer to send in their works via email.)
Btw, No.883 in MP29 (#3 by Juozenas, Ke1/Ke4) is not in the originals list on the site. How come?

Must be another error of mine. I'll check it soon.

MP, p.18: Addition to no. 755: The white bishop was taken on c1 and the last white move was 0.d2xc3+ so the position is legal (in case you wondered how bK got to a4). Also, this seems to be the longest problem so far with this material. I even doubt longer ones can be found!
MPR, p.32: No. 15 is #3, not #2
p. 34: No. 22: Klaus-Peter Zuncke gives Morning Post 1890 as source.
p.44: The study of Richard Becker won 1st prize in Magyar Sakkvilág, not Sakkélet.
p.45: The correct source is Aufgaben für Schachspieler, not Aufgaben fr' Schachspieler.
p.46-47: In the meantime the study by VN and SH won the special prize.
I hope, everyone can understand my confuse writing in the article. :-)
PS: Many thanks to Vlaicu Crisan for showing these wonderful tasks (p.20 ff) by Ueda. These are surely the highlights of this high quality issue. I don't think anyone can beat this on a 8x8 board - 35 different promotions by one pawn will stay the maximum for a long time if not forever. This time every article (except maybe the first and last which is not the author's fault) looks very interesting to me.
Also, 4th place LP 1/2008 is really cool! Maybe that's the only helpmate with both legal mate positions... ;-)

As a specialist on 'questions of originality' I have to make a few remarks on Siegfried's article which is a lot about originality too.
1. The author enriched the content of the studies by S.Clausen and F.Bondarenko & A.Kakovin. He is right to claim the role of a principle architect.
2. V.Neidze has nothing to do with S.Hornecker's study from 'Die Schwalbe'. They are very different studies. Congratulation to Siegfried with a special prize.
3. The last study in the article is not original and far from being an improvement. It's a version. Rather poor version.

Dear Siegfried,
Excuse me, its my mistake. Shure, Your endgame is correct. I tried to win with 1.Be2 - but at this variant blacks have nice move Bf1!
| | | (9) Posted by Sarah Hornecker [Monday, May 12, 2008 19:43] |
True, and there's also a nice stalemate:
1.Be2? (or 1.Ba4?) Kc7 2.Bd1!? e3+ 3.Sf3 g5 4.Sc4 g4 5.Se3 gxf3 6.Sd5+ Kc8 7.Bxf3
 (= 4+3 )
7...d1Q!? 8.Bg4+! Qxg4 stalemate

Gosh, the author of 942 (Peter Harris) has just informed me that the mention of the twin is missing.
Twin b) is : Bd2->d3.
Sorry, my mistake.
