Wow ! What an improvement! Two more solutions nicely completing the four mates in the four corners. Great !
How does one compose such a problem? Start with mating positions and work backwards?
Dear Seetharaman,
We thank you very much for your kind words!
Our first idea was the black king’s incarceration in two different coloured corners because of a chameleon echo.
Then when you get to know the special play of the double grasshopper better, you cry out than Archimedes in the bathtub: “Eureka!” the incarceration is possible in the other two corners too. The secret of success as we know: a little chess composer vein, lot of work and good luck!
With best wishes,
Mečislovas & János
