First I would like to thank Aleksey Oganesjan who accept me as a judge for this tourney. 53 problems were received: really nice! But the level of the tourney was a little disappointing. For instance regarding the number of promotions in Bishop, only one original sent showed 4 promotions with 2 white & 2 black Bishops, and it is unfortunately anticipated...
A word about some unawarded problems.
1) Because of anticipation:
- No 03 (Ke1-Ka8) – pdb/P0504983 (example 1, announcement of TT-129);
- No 20 (Ka8-Kg8) – yacpdb/381073.
2) Because of partial illegality (promoted pieces in initial position):
- No 15 (Kb2-Kd2);
- No 37 (Ke1-Kb8);
- No 45 (Ke2-Kg8);
- No 21 (Kf8-Kc4). A prize without those knights!

I do not give a prize to this and next problem because of pdb/P0576661, but here we have an excelsior – therefore a Honorable Mention!
Regarding these two problems, positions and solutions are very similar: three black promotions in Bishop and one white promotion in Bishop realized with the help of a long excelsior (6 moves).
