No.41 – finished 18-May-2012 – My May-June’2012 can be called the period of Locusts! I believe, that not only for me, as many of us that time were reading Petko A. Petkov’s article Block of Neutral Battery Piece – I and Block of Neutral Battery Piece – II. Four thematic sacrifices (2+2) in this problem. This problem also can be seen by No.15 in Original Problems of julasfairies.com. I agree with a comment there that it would be more interesting if I had a sacrifice of 2 different black pieces where I have bRf6 & bRg5 (bR and bB for example).
