This is historical reflex mate, as far as I know. It is the first reflex mate showing Mlynka theme, it is cyclical change of defence motives without change of variations. The motives are:

  • A = unguarding of wK's flight,
  • B = opening of white line guarding mating line,
  • C = closing of black line, making mate impossible.
Of course, I see the flaw, C is not totally identical.

Personal rating: B.

I don't like the unprovided set check, but I was unable to tame black pinner that is one of important parts of the mechanism.

This helpmate I composed a very long time before announcement of 2nd TT CCM, especially for the other TT announced on the Internet. The man who was responsible for it, it was Cornel Pacurar, residing in these days in Canada, I think. The theme was - problems with two kings only. So I chose small board and very special "kings" and... "voila".

I was judge of fairy section of 1st TT CCM and although there was no similar problem like 265, it gave me some inspiration. In fact, I was not quite satisfied with b) position as diagonal form of the mate is something different from orthogonal, but I let it be - and judge liked it more than I did!

Personal rating: B.

Just another "two-king" problem - or you can see it as a double Rex Solus.

Of course, as the judge Václav Kotesovec rightly pointed, I was exploring the field already discovered by me. As I recently learned, already some people before me found out that combination of Köko and Maximummer allows unexpected and complicated manoeuvres as the length of possible moves changes very substantially by moving various pieces without need to cut lines or capture anything. The Circe is used here in a double way - in the course of solution it complicates even more the manoeuvres by rebirths and in the mate white grasshopper selfguards on vertical line.

Personal rating: B.
