My published problems as of Feb-2014
Some more of my published problems…
Some of my recently published problems are finally added to My Problems section:
Two problems composed yet in November of 2012:
No.75 – finished 26-Nov-2012 – Chinese pieces in HS# problem, Dentist, neutral promotions (Шахматная композиция – 2013)
No.76 – finished 02-Dec-2012 – Reciprocal play of neutral MAO and MOA – one gives mate, another one pins a mating piece! (The Problemist Supplement – 2013)
Marine problem from June’2013:
No.86 – Running JF Marine TT 2013 I wanted to compose something with Marine pieces as well! The main idea was a play of black Marine pieces MS/SI, and it took me about a month (The 3rd FIDE World Cup in Composing 2013, G-Fairies; 1st HM)
Three problems from autumn’2013, all inspired by Zabunov TT 2013 (the same as my No.400), with different transformations of initial batteries:
No.98 – October,2013 – Black half-battery transforms into two new Locust-specific batteries (KoBulChess – 2013, No.259)
No.99 – October,2013 – My lovely Chameleons in transformation of a black half-battery. I believe this is one of the best Chameleon-problems I have (Шахматная композиция – 2013)
No.102 – 03-Nov-2013 – Transformation of neutral half-battery, using Take&Make condition (StrateGems – 2014)
And November’s toy, miniature with Chameleons:
No.103 – 08-Nov-2013 – Light miniature, funny play of two neutral Chameleons, who jump away from their lines to return back in a new guise! (VARIANTIM – 2013)
Hope, you’ll like some of them! Thanks! – Julia

(24.02) – Three originals and two new authors to welcome!
|
- (23.02) Fairings No.36 by Chris Feather “You will have noticed a large amount of text this time; most of the diagrams appear on the second page. That is because, as an experiment, I am taking up suggestions to give introductions to the problems.” Thanks to Stephen Emmerson for the distribution!
- (21.02) No.502 – Neal Turner – This is the 2nd author’s problem with unusual combination of SAT and Royal Grasshoppers in s#2 published on JF. Enjoy a detailed comment by Neal !
- (18.02) No.501 – Stephen Emmerson – A very nice miniature with Princess and also a direct mate awaited by many of our commentators! I’m very happy to welcome Stephen, who is for many years an editor of Fairy section of the most prominent magazine in the world, “The Problemist”; one of the brightest and productive programmers of our great Popeye; interesting and non-standard composer!
- (17.02) No.496.1 – Abdelaziz Onkoud & Nikola Predrag – This joint problem is a nice improvement to No.496!
- (14.02) No.500 – Julia Vysotska – A miniature with three dynamic fairy conditions! For now, technically it is the most complicated problem I have. And this is the 500th original publication I do!
- (14.02) No.499 – Abdelaziz Onkoud – A three-mover of logical style with exotic pieces. Such kind of problems is quite rare on JF!
