12th TT CCM C 31.8.2003 - other judge's comments

(Here you can find judge's comments to unawarded problems and also a few comparison problems that are referenced here or in an award.)

T6 (kd1/kf4, s#7): just a riddle with nothing more
T14 (kc3/kf5, h#2): not really Zilahi (captured piece doesn't disappear); almost identical mates
T28 (ke3/ke5, s#4): 3 fairy pieces for strategy not far that ones found in orthodox selfmates
T32 (ka1/-, s#11): mechanical; without capture condition destroys interest
T18 (kd8/kf8, #2), T24 (kf8/kg6, #2): outweighted by 3rd Prize Probleemblad 1985
T3 (ka8/ke5, h#3), T4 (kd3/kd1, h#2), T8 (ke1/kf3, ser-h#3), T17 (ka1/kc3, s#2): too light content
T16 (kd3/kh3, h#2), T21 (kd6/kd8, #2), T22 (kg8/kg6, #2), T23 (kd8/kd6, s#2), T29 (ke8/ke6, #2), T31 (ke7/ke5, #2): too heavy for content
T2 (kf3/ka1, h#2), T20 (ke1/ke8, proof game), T25 (kc5/ke8, proof game), T26 (kf2/kf5, #2), T27 (ke1/kf5, proof game): incorrect

Jean-Marc Loustau Denis Blondel 3rd Prize Probleemblad 1985	1.Rh2! zz 1...f1O 2.Rd2# 1...f1S! 2.Sac2# 1...f1B!! 2.Sc6# 1...f1R!!! 2.Ocxc3# 1...f1Q!!!! 2.Ofxc3# Extremely successful presentation of a black correction, here in 5th degree! All defences simultaneously allow and prevent all previous mates and allow one new mate. To make it as super-AUW, it is something unbelievable.
