Problem 421: Nikola Predrag - Helpmate |
(08.07.2014) Another welcome contribution from Nikola Predrag who follows up his Problem 415 with a beautiful original showing the theme Clone-loan! This time he doubles the theme in both solutions with promotions and later sacrifices by both black and white.
