47 entries were received from 27 authors representing 15 countries | На конкурс поступило 47 композиций от 27 авторов из 15 стран

EN <-> RU

I received 47 problems in anonymous form and uniform format from the tourney director. Given a rather simple theme, most of the composers decided to enrich their entries with additional themes, which were also useful at determinig the ranking. The tourney level was high and it was not easy to determine the placements.
Excluded problems:
1. Non-thematic problems:
- No 4 (Kh4-Ka8). The stipulation is h#3;
- No 5 (Kg2-Kd3). Triple mate by the same piece (wSa3);
- No 25 (Kc4-Ke6). wPd6 promotes and mates twice;
- No 30 (Kc2-Kf5). wPd7 promotes and mates twice;
- No 42 (Kf1-Ke5). wPd7 promotes to Q/R mates.
2. Anticipations:
- No 6 (Ka4-Kf6). Strong similarity to pdb/P0521609.
3. Idle white piece (except pawns and the king) in at least one phase:
- No 10 (Kd8-Kd3) – Rh1/Rb5/Qb8;
- No 18 (Ke1-Kc5) – Ra1/Sc7/Be8;
- No 19 (Ke1-Kd4) – Sg2;
- No 28 (Kf8-Ke5) – Rb4/Rc1;
- No 36 (Kb3-Kc6) – Se3;
- No 43 (Kh6-Kd5) – Ra4/Se1.
4. Unallowed twins:
- No 12 (Ka8-Kf4) – bBf6 is a promoted piece. Also: a correction arrived too late;
- No 29 (Kc1-Ke4) – wPc2->c7 (bPc7);
- No 32 (Kd1-d4) – bKd4->c4 (bPc4);
- No 33 (Kf7-Kd5) – bKd5->c5 (bBc5).
Thanks to all participants in the tourney, and congratulations to the authors of the honoured problems.
