The 1.8 second J


I mean the chess problem in the form of the letter "J",
composed by me in 1.8 seconds for James' 18th birthday during
todays chat. Of course it can't be 1st prize material
under this circumstances ;-)

It took me 2 seconds to check yacpdb and find the anticipation by Pogosyants.

Yes, it's the same solution, see

But it's another letter, may be James MaLcom is meant.

@Michael: Yes, I already know it's anticipated, and I'm not the least surprised.
Yes, I *could* have invested 1.8 more seconds to check yacpdb before posting it
into the Zoom chat (the members quickly found the anticipation too),
but what would have happened to teh lulz then? ;-)

But I'm scratching my head on a completely different point:
Given that the problem is not too interesting beyond having 4 pieces,
what reason did *Pogosyants* have to compose yacpdb 145511? :-)

P.S. After researching a bit longer, I think I have the hunch of an
idea. Compare yacpdb...
74661, 74662, 137227, 137228, 137229, 143730, 143732, 145199.
No, they weren't dedicated ɯoɔlɐW sǝɯɐ*ſ*, but to Юрий *Г*агарин.
I can only infer sǝɯɐſ will be the first man on Mars. Go, sǝɯɐſ :-)

P.S. Unicode support rulez! :-)
