Problem 927 and 928: Anton Bidlen - Helpmates
anton.bidlen(30.11.2018) Two interesting helpmates from Anton Bidlen. I hope some repetitions in the longer helpmate are excusable in view of the underpromotion and different mates.

If 928 was my own problem, I would definitely avoid all the repetitions (1...gxf3 2.g2 Kh2)and the promoted Bh3, starting from move 3, for a h#4 with twins. Of course, there may be other ways to improve the problem, but this would be the starting point.

Thanks Kostas for your observation. The problem indeed will be better as a h#4 without the unwanted repetitions. I too failed to notice that.
