Letters (Jurmala made me do it :-)


I daresay for any letter problem you need at least two black moves.
(Otherwise you maximally have the theme of "changed mate".)
Let's also assume that a set, a try and a real phase exists.
(Everything less would be a subset of the following.)

We thus have maximally six possible mating moves UVWXYZ to fill in,
plus - for not relevant and ! if A/B defends.

AB
SUV
TWX
RYZ

I have not computed how many letter themes this will make,
are you sure you already showed each and every of them?
Even only the interesting and the "non-split"? :-)

Not really: Key, threat, one variation.

So what do you intend to show with only one black move?
Regardless how you permute -!UVW, I don't see anything
else than a changed mate - what do I overlook?
(Unless, of course, you count the threat to the letters,
indeed then there already are 9 entries, 6w, 3b.)

Letter H# problems. Is it ok to have one solution?

Djurasevic cycle, Ceriani Cycle (and a Reeves cycle doesn't even require a black move, it's a cycle between key and threat).

Guess I have to buy "Cyclone" somewhen after all :-)

It is not only about Cyclone.

Juraj Brabec has included in his recent book "Za vsetkym hladaj motiv" the analysis of various non-isomorphic types of Z-xy-zt types. There is just one change of type Z-32-26 (change of 2 mates in three phases), but there are e.g. 26 non-isomorphic changes of type Z-32-44, one of them with phase variations aAbB-aCcB-aDdC, other like aAbB-aBbA-cCdD (with clean radical change in one phase).

In spite of extended formalism (allowing classification of change themes) he underlines throughout the book the following: formal themes can be interesting, but the key interest lies in the underlying motivation.
