31st TT Chess Composition Microweb C 10.10.2012



The deadline of the 30th TT CCM had passed and we still do not have judged the 29th TT CCM... Time to slow down? To stop? Quite the opposite. Both tourneys are now in hands of reliable judges, thus it is a good time to start a new tourney.

As is already a tradition, the selected theme of the tourney rested in my buffer of theme candidates for a long time.

On the other hand I am sure there are many hidden fairy gems in the field.

Announcement

The set play can be of any length, from one halfmove long to one halfmove less than the normal solution, the important difference is the other side starting.
