EN <-> RU

In our opinion the set theme was new and rather difficult. We were pleasantly surprised at the number and the quality of entries. We received 59 anonymous originals altogether. We divided them into two groups – h#3 and h#3.5-6.
No 34C (h#3) was sent in a twin form, and No 48 (h#4) is not thematic (1.Kh4 is not a tempo move).
A solution starting with a tempo move is in most cases an artificially prolonged set play; we called it a “wild” set play, and such tempos “weak” tempo moves. We treated such tempo moves as a serious weakness, and they are not in the spirit of a set theme, although not forbidden in the announcement.
Little author’s corrections were welcome.

Award is the following | Отличия распределились следующим образом

1st Prize, 1st Place - No 5A, Rolf Wiehagen (Germany) & Christer Jonsson (Sweden) 6N1/2p4p/2P3kP/3p3p/1N5K/8/b2P4/8

1.d4 Sd3? 2.Be6 ?? 3.Bf5 Se5#
1.d4 d3 (tempo) 2.Be6 (tempo) Sd5 3.Bf7 Sde7#
1.Bb1 d4 (tempo) 2.Be4 (tempo) Sd3 3.Bf5 Se5#

A difficult theme realized in two nice and harmonious phases. A huge and pleasant surprise. In short words – brilliant.

2nd Prize, 2nd Place - No 52, Aleksandr Kostyukov (Russia) 8/8/1p1p2p1/1P1P3b/1P2k1NP/6r1/3pKpN1/8

1.Kf5 Kxf2 (tempo) 2.Rf3+ Kxf3 3.d1R (tempo) Se3#
1.Kxd5 Kxd2 (tempo) 2.Rd3+ Kxd3 3.f1S (tempo) Sf4#

Two harmonious phases again. Capturing of black rook in both solutions spoils the general impression a while, but still a successful composition.

Honorable mention, 3rd Place - No 6, Rolf Wiehagen (Germany) & Christer Jonsson (Sweden) 8/8/8/1N3p2/3P1p2/1ppk1p1p/1p5P/nN2K1n1

1.Kc2 d5 (tempo) 2.Kxb1 Kd1 3.f2 (tempo) Sb5xc3#
1.Ke4 Kd1 (tempo) 2.c2+ Kd2 3.c1S (tempo) Sb1-c3#

A solid two-phase realization of a theme.

Special Prize - No 2B, Branislav Djurasevic (Serbia) 5N2/5p2/1P1P1k1P/b7/1p6/3p4/pP2p3/qb2K3

1.Bxb6! (tempo) h7 2.Kg7 Kd2! (tempo) (b3?) 3.Kg7xf8 h8Q#

Tempo moves in B1 are actually not "weak" since they determine white tempos with dual avoidance in W2.

Commendation - No 21, Zoltan Labai (Slovakia) 3k1Nb1/2p3R1/2p1p3/2P1P3/8/pp6/1p6/1K6

*1...Re7 (tempo) 2.Bf7 Rxc7 3.Be8 Sxe6#
1.Bf7 Rh7 (tempo) 2.Bh5 (tempo) Rxc7 3.Be8 Sxe6#

A simple presentation with additional white tempo move in set play.

1st Prize, 1st Place - No 43B, Zlatko Mihajloski (Macedonia) 8/8/8/5p2/3p3p/1ppP1P1P/2p2P2/n1K1kB2

1.f4 (tempo) Bg2 2.Ke2 Bh1 (tempo) 3.Kf1 (tempo) Bg2+ 4.Ke1 (tempo) Bh1 (tempo) 5.Ke2 Bg2 6.Kxd3 Be1#

A limited moving freedom of thematic pieces (white bishop and black king) enables a rich thematic play combined with Rundlauf of bK and double tempo switchbacks of wB. Unexpected true finding.

2nd Prize, 2nd Place - No 56, Viktoras Paliulionis (Lithuania) 4Bq2/4r1n1/4br2/4k1K1/8/8/8/8

1...Bg6 2.Qh8 (tempo) (Qg8?) Bf5 3.Rf8 Kg4 4.Kf6 Kf4 (tempo) 5.Kf7 Kg5 6.Qg8 Bg6#

A simple white play is prevented by black queen’s tempo move which cuts off the h-line for a white king. Consequently white king makes a tempo by Rundlauf and bishop switches back from f5 to g6. All this in aristocrat position.

3rd Prize, 3rd Place - No 14, Gábor Tar (Hungary) 8/8/8/3p4/3k4/2pp1p2/2P1Pppp/2K1N1bb

1.f1B (tempo) cxd3 2.c2 Kd2 3.c1R e4 (tempo) 4.Rc5 Sxf3#
1.Ke3 exf3 (tempo) 2.Ke2 Sxg2 3.Kf1 Kd1 4.d2 (tempo) Se3#

The only longmover with two thematic phases. We had to ignore a small flaw – a “weak” black tempo in one solution.

1.f4 Bh7 2.Bh6 (tempo) Bg8 3.Kg6 Bf7+ (tempo) 4.Kf5 Bg8 5.Bg5 Bh7#

Tempo switchbacks of both, white and black bishop.

Special Prize - No 59, Ricardo Vieira (Brazil) 8/4p3/8/4P2p/4PPpk/3pp1bP/pp2pBP1/rrn1K2n

1.e6 (tempo) f5 2.Kg5 h4+ (tempo) 3.Bxh4 g3 (tempo?) 4.Sxg3 (tempo?) Bxe3#

After 3.Bxh4: wP waits and bS unpins (3...g3 = tempo) or wP unpins and bS waits (4.Sxg3 = tempo).

One “weak” black and one regular white tempo move are combined with one undefined – hermaphrodite – tempo move(s) in W3/B4. Only one is tempo but it is not possible to define which one. Very difficult combination in our opinion.

1st Honorable mention - No 44, Zlatko Mihajloski (Macedonia) 8/8/4p3/4Ppp1/5B1k/1p2pP1p/pP2P3/K7

1.h2? (tempo) Bxh2 2.Kh3 (tempo) Bg1 3.Kg3 Bf2+ (tempo) 4.Kf4 Bg1 5.?? Bh2#
1.Kh5 (tempo) Bh2 2.Kh4 Bg1 3.Kg3 Bf2+ (tempo) 4.Kf4 Bg1 5.h2 (tempo) Bxh2#

A surprise – black starts with a tempo move 1.Kh5! but it is not a “weak” tempo since a “wild” set play in 4.5 moves doesn’t exist. A try fails because of a lack of a third black tempo.

1.Rh3 (tempo) (Rg3?) Ba6 (tempo) 2.Bf3 Ke3 3.Ke6 Kd4 4.Kf5 Bd3+ 5.Kg4 Ke5 6.Rg3 Bf5#

A long black "Zugzwang avoidance" tempo move (1.Rh3!, not a “weak” tempo), and also a nice long white normal (clear) tempo move (1...Ba6!). Model mate.

3rd Honorable mention - No 50, Torsten Linß (Germany) 8/8/5K2/3p4/8/8/2bq4/2kB4

1.d4 Bh5 2.d3 Kf5 3.Qh6 (tempo) Kg4 4.Kd1 Kf3 5.Qc1 Bg4 (tempo) 6.d2 Kf2#

A combination of set theme and white Indian in a nice miniature.

Nice try with a lack of black tempo move in B5.

Dual avoidance in W1, but it is still a "weak" tempo move. Authors were not interested in a little retro trick which can be seen in a simple example:
