			<description><![CDATA[About the name of the theme we don't have so much choice. I found a previous example of strategic Fleck by ... Ferenc Fleck (!), Freie Presse, 1991 : 2s5/p4B1b/1b6/1S1P2P1/Rsp1P1QP/PSpkp3/2p5/2B2K2 (12+10) 1.Bh5! (2.Qe6/Qf4/Qg2, ... 3.Be2#) 1...., Sxd5 2.Qe6, Sf4 3.Qxc4# Sc6 2.Qf4, Sd4 3.Qxe3# Sa2 2.Qg2, Sxc1 3.Sxc1# 1...., cxb3/Bf5/Bg6 2.Rxb4/Qxf5/Bxf5]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello Evgeni! In my view the repetitions after 1....,Sc6/Se6/Sf3 are boring and useless. They are not natural since they require superfluous units and above are rough because of the captures 1...,Sc6/Sf3 2.Sxc6/Sxf3. A 3fold traditional Fleck is not a great achievement because there are 5fold and 6fold examples of it, so it is not a big loss. The strategic Fleck with change of mates is much more interesting (and difficult to do) than a mechanical (arid) Fleck without change. But since you are the author of the Problem549, not the casual restorer, you can publish your preferred version with your name and without reference to my suggestions.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why is that an improvement? :) I think it is not worth saving two pieces compared to the previous version's content. In the new version the "regular" Fleck is lost - 1. ... Sc6 2. Sxc6+ Kxd3 3. Qd4# 1. ... Se6 2. Sg4+ Kxd3 3. Sf2# 1. ... Sf3 2. Sexf3+ Kxd3 3. Qd4# I think having both triple Fleck variations is a very valuable addition. One triplet defends from the threats but allows new continuations while the second triplet just separates while keeping the continuations from the threat. It magnifies the differences between the new and the old set.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[About the new version by Evgeni (comment #12) : The Karlstrom defence 1..., Bxc5 is very well found. Even the paradoxical closing of the Bb7 after 2.Sc6+ is nice. Of course there is an improvement: 6K1/bBp1Qp2/7p/2PPS3/1PpkPB2/1prP4/1qp4s/2s3S1 (11+12)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree: the position is just barely legal. White Ps captured [Pe7] on the e-file and [Pg7] or possibly [Ph7] on the d-file after promotion. Black Ps captured [Ra1], [Rh1] and [Pa2] after promotion on a8.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well ,i tried to take this a little further... I did not like the checking defense as it does not highlight the cyclic avoidance ( the checking defense ruins the impression as white cannot really "try" other moves ). I did not regard the other duals ( such as 1...Qxc2 in the original problem) as important because they do not really defend from the threat. But anyway there is a point in that thought as the theme which is highlighted is Fleck and it does spoil the general impression a little. I worked on the improved mechanism and avoided the check rather easily. Then I noticed an option to add a real Fleck to the problem, without duals or side variations. And finally a real defense is added (1...Bxc5) which makes the problem rather complete. It seems that the position is legal, just barely. Will be happy to make this the official version with Rodolfo Riva as my co-author, if he agrees of course. Problem in the next comment as this is too long :(]]></description>
