Klub Pongracz 10 JT C 13.8.2002 - SAT, 2nd group

1.Ba3+? Qxf6(f2) 2.f4+ Qxf4(f2) 3.Sc2+ Qxh2(Qd1)+
1...Qe3!

1.Sc3+! Sxc3(Sg1) 2.Ba3+ Qxa3(Bc1) 3.Se2+ Sxe2(Sb1) 4.Bxa3(Qd8)+ Qxf6(f2) 5.f4+ Qxf4(f2) 6.Sc2+ Qxh2(Qd1)#

LS: "Elegant binding of SAT and Circe. Circe moves in the try and the solution fully correspond with characteristics of the basic SAT. There is an inpiration for the future development of the fairy chess in the motivation of moves."

1.Sg4+??

1.Bh7+! Rxh7(Bf1) 2.Sg4+ h5 3.Ba3+ bxa3(Bc1) 4.Bb2+ axb2(Bc1) 5.Bxb2(b7)+ cxb2(Bc1) 6.Ba6+ bxa6(Bf1) 7.Bb5+ axb5(Bf1) 8.Bc4+ bxc4(Bf1) 9.Bd3+ cxd3(Bf1) 10.Be2+ dxe2(Bf1) 11.f4+ Qxg4(Sb1) 12.Bxe2(e7)+ Qh3 13.Bf1+ Qg4 14.h3+ Qg3#

LS: "In the first phase it is necessary to shut off the black queen. The immediate 1.Sg4?? mates, that's why 1.Bh7+! The second phase prepares play of the light-squared bishop, while in the third white prepares his 11th move. Then there is the last act. Logical selfmate with the task of switchbacks of white bishops."

Unfortunately, Bojan Basic 3.8.2010 reported a cook:
1.Se4+ h5 2.Sd2+ Qg5 3.Bd3+ cxd2(Sg1) 4.f4+ Qg4 5.h3+ Qg3 6.Se2+ Qxd3(Bf1) 7.Sd4+ Qg3 8.Bc4+ cxd4(Sg1) 9.Se2+ Rxc4(Bf1)#

1.CHRf7? CHRe5 2.g7~ ??

1.CHRf3!+ Se5 2.CHRd8+ Sdc6 3.CHRb3+ Sed4 4.CHRg5+ Sce6 5.CHRb7+ S4c5 6.CHRd2+ Sde4 7.CHRf7+ CHRd6 8.CHRa5+ Sc4 9.CHRf3+ S6e5 10.CHRd8+ Sdc6 11.CHRb3+ Sed4 12.CHRg5+ Sce6 13.CHRb7+ S4c5 14.CHRd2+ CHRe4 15.CHRf7+ Sd6 16.CHRa5+ Sec4 17.CHRf3+ S6e5 18.CHRd8+ Sdc6 19.CHRb3+ Sed4 20.CHRg5+ Sce6 21.CHRb7+ CHRc5 22.CHRd2+ Se4 23.CHRf7+ Scd6 24.CHRa5+ Sec4 25.CHRf3+ S6e5 26.CHRd8+ Sdc6 27.CHRb3+ Sed4 28.CHRg5+ CHRe6 29.CHRb7+ Sc5 30.CHRd2+ Sde4 31.CHRf7+ Scd6 32.CHRa5+ Sec4 33.CHRf3+ S6e5 34.CHRd8+ Sdc6 35.CHRb3+ CHRd4 36.CHRg5+ Se6 37.CHRb7+ S4c5 38.CHRd2+ Sde4 39.CHRf7+ Scd6 40.CHRa5+ Sec4 41.CHRf3+ S6e5 42.CHRd8+ CHRc6 43.CHRf3+ CHRd4#

LS: "The simple try doesn't work because of the white's stalemate. Almost textbook position for the Sharp SAT popularization, but also for that of fascinating chinese rose moves. We see 6-cycle round trip with the aim to move the white friend to the only suitable square c6! 6(!) white knights assist."

Unfortunately, Bojan Basic 3.8.2010 reported a cook:
1.CHRa1+ Se5 2.Sh6 Sc2 3.Sg4 Sed3 4.Se3+ CHRe5#

1.Bb8+! Kxb8 2.Bc8+ Kxc8 3.Sd8+ Kxd8 4.f7+ Kc8 5.Rb7+ Kd8 6.Rc7+ Ke8 7.Rd7+ Kf8 8.Rd4+ Kxg8 9.Kh7=

LS: "Stalemate problem in the Sarp SAT is combined here with Madrasi elemenents. This synthesis allows unusual and forced walk of the bK."

1.Bf3+! Bxf3(Bf1) 2.Be2+ Bxe2(Bf1) 3.Bxe2(Bc8)+ dxe2(Bf1) 4.Bxe2(e7)+ Sxe2(Bf1) 5.Bxe2(Sg8)+ Rxe2(Bf1) 6.Bxe2(Ra8)+ Qxe2(Bf1) 7.Bxe2(Qd8)+ Sxh2(Sg1)#

LS: "Again a lot of switchbacks and 12 Circe rebirths. It seems SAT selfmate has potential for the creation as wide as orthodox helpmates. The solution is spiced by tries that may fool the solvers."

1.Bb6 c5 2.Bxc5(c2) cxd3(d7)#

1.Bc7 d6 2.Bxd6(d2) dxe3(e7)#

1.Bd8 g5 (f6?) 2.Bxg5(g2) gxf3(f7)#

LS: "SAT+Circe analogy in 3 solutions. Pity, that only the third one hints the possible complication of the idea."

a)

1.Rxb8? 1...Be4! th. 2...Bxc2#
1.Rd8? 1...Bc6! th. 2...Bxa4#
1.Rh8? 1...Bc6! th. 2...Bxa4#
1.Rg1? 1...Bd6 th. 2...Bxb4#

1.Rg7!
1...Be4 2.Rg2!
1...Be5 2.Rg3!
1...Bd5 2.Rc7!
1...Bd6 2.Rb7!
1...Bc6 2.Ra7!

b)

1.Rg1? 1...Bd6! th. 2...Bxb4#

1.Rh8!
1...Be4 2.Rh2!
1...Be5 2.Rh3!
1...Bd5 2.Rc8!
1...Bd6 2.Rb8!
1...Bc6 2.Ra8!

LS: "Strange link between the less known condition of the "matverijdeling" and SAT. In the less attractive zeroposition one can be interested in the colour shift of the second defence moves after the same attacks by Black. Modern conception is underlined by the tries. Change of 5 white defence moves!"

1.Bf1! zz
1...B~, GIe~ 2.Ba6+ ~ 3.Bxa6+ ~ 4.Bxa6#
1...c5, Sb5, GIf~ 2.Bb5+ ~ 3.Bxb5+ ~ 4.Bxb5#
1...d4, Sb~, Zb~ 2.Bc4+ ~ 3.Bxc4+ ~ 4.Bxc4#

1...f2, Rd4, Rd1, GId~ 2.Be2+ ~ 3.Bxe2+ ~ 4.Bxe2#

LS: "Thematic squares on f1-a6 diagonal are guarded 3 times - once by pawn, once by orthodox piece and once by giraffe. Five-variation zugzwang problem with 10 switchbacks of white bishop to rebirth square. 18 black units make the construction heavy, giraffes with the long neck make the content more variable."
This intention is however refuted by 1...GIe~! as then 2.Ba6+? bxa6(Bf1) 3.Bxa6+ Bxa6(Bf1) 4.Bxa6(Bc8)+ Bxa6(Bf1)! (uncovered by Bojan Basic)

1.Rxh2(B) Rh8 2.Bxh8(B) Bf6#
1.Bxe2(B) Ba6 2.Rxa6(B) Rd6#

LS: "Synthesis of SAT and Andernach chess. The solutions are analogical, the mates SAT ones."

LS: "AUW in zugzwang position."

1.f8==!! (no promotion)

LS: "Ecce joke double-stalemate in halfmove in the miniature!"
