62.WCCC in Vilnius
I believe many people share the same feeling, that the 62.WCCC was absolutely wonderfully organized in Vilnius! Thanks a lot to Lithuanian team and especially to Vilimantas and Vidmantas Satkus!
There’re some post on the official website, I tried to make during the congress. The final page for the 43.WCSC is just finished. The 4.YCCC was a great work to boast: Results (PDF) | Photo gallery
You’re free to use any of my photos from Vilnius 2019 album (with some accent on Latvian solvers, of course 😉 )
After finishing most of works related to the Congress coming back to publications on JF. Thank you for your patience! – Julia
The 19th Japanese Sake Tourney Award
|
Theme: H#2 Point Reflection. Fairy pieces and/or other fairy conditions are not allowed. |
|
We received 65 problems, a new record for our Sake tourney. The level was very good overall, in spite of the lack of outstanding problems. We decided to give 4 Prizes, 3 Honorable Mentions and 14 Commendations (without order). The new condition Point Reflection, which was invented by a young Japanese composer Hiryu Todoroki, got praises from many composers as “great,” “inspiring,” “very interesting and promising.”

16th TZUICA TOURNEY AWARD – 2019
|
Theme: Helpself compositions (hs#n/hs=n) with at least three (stale)mates by the same piece on different squares. |
|
69 problems by 35 composers from 14 countries have taken part in this tourney. We initially thought that the theme was rather difficult, but the number of entries seems to have proven that we were wrong. As usual we awarded problems that showed the theme intensively and we praised rich strategy as well as a good and pleasant construction, with all white or black officers used in the solutions. Interplay must also play a role in the solution. Some entries with small constructional blemishes, such as unused white / black figures in at least one phase have been sadly left out of the present award. We hope, however, their authors will be able to find out improved settings and even win prizes in other tournaments.
