The French program for computer analysis of chess problems and studies WinChloe has a new version (3.08). There are a number of new supplements in it – fairy conditions, descriptions, definitions and etc. This is the first program in which the KoBul King is included. This new fairy condition was presented for the first time on the WCCC in 2010.

The final results for the World cup of chess composition 2011 have come out. The performance of Diyan Kostadinov in Selfmates has been very successful and he has taken the prestigious 2^nd place and also the 4^th place in the Fairy section. We should point out the fact that Petko Petkov was invited to be the director of the tournament for a second year in succession and Krassimir Gandev was the arbiter of the Fairy problems.
