2011 and CYCLONE 50-40-30-20-10-0 years ago

(Text on this page was written by Peter Gvozdják.)

50 years ago (1961)

Already half a century passed since the first threemover with the Lacny cycle appeared.

40 years ago (1971)

Fine Lacny and Fleck combination.

30 years ago (1981)

One of the most unbelievable twomovers ever created. At that time, nobody could even imagine that the Ceriani cycle was possible in a twinless position. Btw, Alfreds Dombrovskis was delighted by it.

20 years ago (1991)

Very original rendering of the Kiss cycle. Could somebody prevent capturing the rook in a try?

10 years ago (2001)

Excellent 12-points Album fairy twomover shows the 5-fold Shedey cycle. The tourney in Pat a mat must have been very strong, if this composition deserved a Commendation only.

0 years ago (2011)

Based on some earlier ideas, here we can see a pioneer example of a fourmover combining the Lacny cycle with White 2-3-4 cycles in both phases.
