Update to My Problems 080912
Update to My Problems (3)!
(08.09) Have added 4 more problems to the list in My Problems section – problem No.14, problem No.15, problem No.16, problem No.17. Now I have all problems composed in 2011 in this list.
Few words about the format:
- the list of problems is shown as a table, where you see problem No. in the first column and a small diagram to get an idea if you wish to look at that problem or not at all! 🙂 The both – problem No. and diagram – are the links to the problem, so you can click on them to see the page with it.
- on each page with published problem you can see the second number in a format /99NNN/ – this is a number in ankona database, you can click on it to see how the problem looks there. My published problems in ankona are marked as “public” – so everyone can view them, but [EDIT] option is shown and allowed to the author only.

Update to My Problems
Update to My Problems !
(01.09) 1 more problem is added to My Problems section. You can see it by direct link also – my problem No.9.
(31.08)Have added 3 more problems to my list in My Problems section. I hope, I haven’t done any mistakes when trying to do everything faster. Please let me know if any link doesn’t work. Thanks!!
(30.08) When created a site, I’ve planned to add my published problems here. But with all other activities never had time. Now I’ve decided at least to start!
For now the very first 5 my published problems (4 of them are orthodox helpmates) are added in My Problems section. Hopefully, I will add all the problems in 2-3 weeks. Most likely, I’m the most interested person in this section. It is my memory.. and seems like several first problems for me are the most meaningful. I have written some comments to them. And could write much more! 🙂 The fact is that I remember the time of composing them much better, than for some recent problems I have. I believe, it is the same for many of you.. Or?

Solvers @igra.lv
2 “solving days” in Riga – 23-24.Aug –
for those, who never solved before!
This post is dedicated to Latvians (Rigans really), who participates in the project IGRA.lv. (“igra” in Russian = game). This is not about chess at all! Commands, who participate in the game, have to do many very different things. This time a pre-game to get the additional bonus was to solve a fairy problem!
The problem above was composed for this game. So, it was impossible to find a ready solution in the internet. The only information the commands have got was that this is a helpmate (they had to find what it is), has 2 solutions of 2 moves, and a strange figure on d1,h1 was called a “shaman” with a given definition how it moves (in reality it was a simple Lion, but it was also not easy to find out it). The author was not mentioned as well.
Click here to see how the problem was presented to the commands by the organizers of this game (in Russian only). And click on the diagram to see the problem with solution.
- As I know, at least 2 commands have really solved the problem themselves. Congratulations to you!!! I hope you enjoyed the solving and the happiness at the moment when you have found the right solution!
- I was also surprised a lot to see about 10 of you at my site, and you were on the right way looking at fairy terms and at popeye solving program! As I was told, some of you have solved a problem using solving software! So, you have done 2 things: have found the right name of the fairy piece, have learned how to install and to use a program! Congratulations to you too!! It is not that easy if you do it for the first time.
As I know for now, about 7 commands have submitted the right solution. But I don’t know how many commands participated in total.
Dear participants, I had fun during your time of solving… And now I wish you good luck in the real game you have this night!!!
Thank you for solving! – Julia

The latest update of the WinChloe Echecs database!
|
53 of original problems published at Julia’sFairies are added to WinChloe Echecs database as of 12-Aug-2012 – you can see the list of them(pdf) I’ve exported from WinChloe! I’d like to add that WinChloe offers 2 possibilities of exporting diagrams: bitmap (graphics like I have on the site) and rtf-form (text form, which uses Echecs font to display the board and pieces, used in my exported list of problems here).- I’d like to write more about WinChloe program and I will do it part by part when have time. For now my WinChloe section has just some basic information about, but you can leave your comments/questions there – I’d try to answer (as also some other users of WinChloe maybe?)!
