   1.Kc6! [2. Kd6! ~ 3.Sd2#  (2.Sc3+? S:c3! 3.Bd5#?? S:d5!;

2.Bf5+? g:f5! 3.Re6#?? R:e6!; 2.Rf4+? R:f4! 3.Sf6#?? R:f6!)]

1…Sb6 2.S:b6! (2.Sc3+?) ~ 3.Bd5# 

Cyclic square vacation, selfblocks and logical tries on white second move (Author) In this version the author is found a way to avoid the dual variation 1…Sc1 and to include by play variations (the first one 1…Bf3 is nice with another quiet W2) (Diyan Kostadinov)

78.1)  Version of problem n.78 (by K.S. and D.K.)

   1.Qb3? 1…R:h5!, 1.Qb5? 1…R:h3!, 1.Qc5? 1…R:g4! 

   1.Qb4! (zz)

1…R:h3 2.Qa3+ R:a3#, 1…R:g4 2.Qa4+ R:a4#, 1…R:h5 2.Qa5+ R:a5# 

Ivan Paskalev agree that this version with three thematic tries and three variations is better than the published problem n.78 and thank K.Seetharaman and D. Kostadinov for it.

 

Important Notice:

   Till to the moment in my base with Originals for sections #2, #3, H#, S# for December 2012 are problems by Nikolay Dimitrov (#2) and some of mine (#2, H#), so if you were sent me an original for these sections and you still don't saw it published here - please contact me!

Thanks Diyan for pointing out the logical structure in my 75. I did not think much of it when I composed.

Sorry about the dual after 1...Sc1. I failed to notice it. Will send an improved setting soon.

No.77. Excellent Rundlauf in such a light setting ! Great !

N.78 by Ivan Paskalev has interesting tries. But without changes I think they are not important.

A more economical setting with one more variation is :
kB3Q21rP587P6Pr7P8K6B (8+3). S#2. Key 1.Qb4! gives two flights to the white
king !. There is still one try 1.Qc5 ?

No.76 Janevski
Reciprocities are important part which gives the weight to the problem.
"Two mates on the bK’s initial square after anticipatory self-pins" - this alone could be achieved much "cheaper" in a couple of minutes:
Stipulation H#2
White Kb6 Ra4 Rg2 Bh1
Black Sc6 Kd5 Pc3 Pe3 Ba2

1.Bc4 Rg5+ 2.Kd4 Rd5#
1.Sb4 Rd2+ 2.Kc4 Bd5#

Ram, your version of n.78 is nice, but can be improved even more (with change of initial position of the wQ). Look:
k7/1rP5/1Q6/7P/6Pr/7P/8/K5BB
Now the thematic tries are 3 with black thematic defences as a refutations and Duel between wQ/bR:
1.Qb3? R:h5!, 1.Qb5? R:h3!, 1.Qc5? R:g4!
1.Qb4! (zz) 1...R:h3/R:g4/R:h5 2.Qa3+/Qa4+/Qa5+

About your threemover n.75 - the defence 1...Sc1 is unpleasant and if you can avoid it this will be great. But the existance of the correct defence move 1...Sc3! save the soundness of the problem, so even if you can not improve it - this threemover is C+.

Nikola, thank you for your comment and your interesting version - clear realisation of "Two mates on the bK’s initial square after anticipatory self-pins". Also change of functions between wBh1/wRg2.

Yes, you are right that exchange of functions between the two pairs thematic pieces in Janevski's problem n.76 is important and very good. Actually I think that there are even 3 pairs of thematic pieces which change their functions, because wPd2/wRd1 also do it (direct mate piece and support piece).

Another important different between n.76 and your version is that in 76 the thematic pin lines are two (with different pinners - wBg6/wRa5). In your version the thematic line is only one and with the same pinner in both solutions - wRa4. The first option looks more difficult for realisation in my opinion.

Thanks Diyan for your comments and posting the improved version N.75.1. The by-play 1..Sb6 2.Sxb6 (3.Bd5#) is also a quiet one - I typed wrongly as check !

Yes Diyan, this is what I wanted to say. No.76 is a chess problem and my example is only an illustration of the idea but not a true chess problem. Nowadays we can see too many "examples" published as "originals". So, just because of its simplicity, there is a chance that some example (similar to mine) has been already published among innumerable "originals".

Unfortunatelly my feelings was approved and today I received the information that problem n.78 (and 78.1 of course) is anticipated by J.Korponai S#2 Stella Polaris 1968.
Thank you for this important and helpful information Ram!
