sirens-song-SIThe AWARD of Julia’s Fairies Marine TT – 2013

3. Series H# (H=, H==, all types of Pser and Phser problems) in N moves

Participants: Karol Mlynka (Slovakia), Antonio Garofalo (Italy), Andreas Thoma (Germany), Sven Trommler (Germany), Daniel Novomesky (Slovakia).

Although having a “chamber participation” of only 7 problems, I was glad to select 4 good works, confirming the beauty of Marine ideas in the Ser-# genre as well.

Nereid b5 ; Triton f5

Prize: Sven Trommler (Germany) – A beautiful Meredith-problem! Annihilation of the white pawns f6/e4 is realized in a very interesting way – with distant blocks of the squares g7/e3, but after that also with blocks of squares g5/f4 respectively. The black King vacates square е5 for its TR and ND. A new annihilation – this time of the black TRe5/NDe5, occurs on the mating moves! I believe it’s possible to tell that we have a special form of “Novotny” with sacrifices of the black TR/ND on square е5!

Honorable Mention: Sven Trommler (Germany) – Three black blocks are needed for a mate. They are realized by two Rooks and the black Bishop on g8/f8 in combination with the dismantling of the black battery on the 8th rank. A very pleasant synthesis!

Siren d5

Commendation: Andreas Thoma (Germany) – A long march of the white King with the aim of a double Annihilation – SIg7, Rh8. After the pawn’s promotion to Siren there follows a pleasant stalemate – (SIa1) with a pin of the black Knight.

Commendation: Karol Mlynka (Slovakia) – A light but pleasant idea – pins of the black pieces, which are produced by promoted pawns and also block the black pawns.

I. 1.f1R 2.Rg1 3.Kf1 SI×d2-d1= ; II. .f1B 2.Be2 3.Bd1 SI×g2-h1=.
