No.3  –  finished 12.09.2011 – After WCCC-2011 I have started to learn and try different themes in composition. I’m grateful to Diyan Kostadinov, who has sent me the first theory I had and some links to useful websites.

The helpmate below is a joint problem with Diyan.

I had a scheme:

Stipulation h#2
White Rh4 Bb1 Bg1 Sb6 Sd5 Pe2
Black Ke4 Rd3 Ba1 Sf4 Se1 Pf5
Where the solution should be something like:
1) 1.[B]e5 Ba2 2.Rxd5 Bxd5#
2) 1.[S]f3 Rh2 2.Sxe2 Rxe2#

But I couldn’t find any motivation for the first move, I just had an idea that B/S should move from nowhere to e5/f3.
Diyan has found the sense for adding B/S and so finished the problem below:
