The quality of received problems was rather high with many compositions worth being awarded with prizes. Therefore we decided to divide the award to two sections: miniatures (19) and other problems (24).

Some problems didn’t meet the required demand that two pieces of the same colour make tempos in the same solution. They were excluded from the award: No 1 – 11, No 12 (Kd2-Kf2), No 26A (Kg1-Ka3), No 27 (Kf8-Kh6), No 30 (Kh1-Ke6), No 32 (Kg1-Kc5), No 33 (Ka8-Kf5), No 35 (Kc5-Kd8).

Most of problems show white tempo moves and only few the black ones which didn’t exceed the quality of examples from the announcement.

Award is the following | Отличия распределились следующим образом

White King's tempo switchback and two white Bishop’s tempo moves. A tempo move in W1 is artificial extension of a solution but a problem left a pleasant feeling.
