Spectacular five-move threat with sacrifice of knight at mating square. International tandem of authors plays analogical attacks subsequently weakening thematical squares c5, c3, g5 and f6. The subject isn't new, but the construction of the sixmover is very impressive.

Successful long march of wK with switchback. The aim of campaign by wK accompanied by bR lies in disabling axb3 defence.

Cycle of moves in threat and two variations. It contains 2nd, 3rd, 4th moves of white. Interesting idea for further composition too.

Deceptive chess adventures finished by switchback of key piece. I appreciate motivation of moves. Precise sequence of moves is dynamical, especially after 3rd move Chess beauty isn't extinct.

After first move the mate by knight appears and it becomes reality after fresh sequence of logical moves, but by promoted pawn. Pity that everything works only with short threats.
