Due to the large number of sent problems (the tourney was really a success!), I decided to separate the award into two subsections (h#2 and h#2.5-N) in order to roughly align the number of problems – 127 and 91 respectively.

Unfortunately, following problems were excluded in view of anticipations:
- No 51 (Kh3-Kf5) – pdb/P1005061, pdb/P1070437, pdb/P1079988, pdb/P1084731;
- No 90 (Ka8-Kd5) – pdb/P0533357, pdb/P1003457;
- No 92 (Kc3-Kf5) – pdb/P0578615;
- No 97 (Ka2-Kd4) – pdb/P0578691, yacpdb/399425, yacpdb/410807;
- No 101 (Kb3-Kf2) – pdb/P1075716, pdb/P1080138;
- No 178 (Ka5-Ke5), No 204 (Kf8-Kd5) – pdb/P1071007, pdb/P0536274.

The problem No 60 (Kb8-Kd3) cannot pretend on distinction in view of wB doesn’t participate in mating picture of one solution.

The judge is a adherent of problems with model mates. However during preparation of the award I consider additional (except thematic content) nuances in the form of multiplication of thematic phases, synthesis with another themes and ideas, presence of tactical moments as a main criteria. Also I took into account a loading of White pieces and an economy of position. In h#2.5-N, despite fewer quantity of problems, there were more quality problems – that’s why more Prize distinctions.

Some words about problems that were not include in the award. Some compositions are weaker (by content) than even examples. Some problems are not perfected and have many technical pieces.

Generally, there are many problems that pleasantly pleased with the content. I thank all participants for their sent problems. I wish all good healthy, prosperity and optimism in this difficult time and new creative successes for the benefit of our favorite chess composition!

Award is the following | Отличия распределились следующим образом
