What’s worse? A unused grasshopper in each solution or a twin b) Ge1->b4?

In my opinion a twin. In general, for me is in the HSX much more important economy of Black, as the mating side, and I without doubts prefer twinless setting at the cost of one piece.

And Na7 to a3, -Ge1? The unity of the first move is changed from a nightrider move to a move on e1.

I wish judges had a similar view. Our wonderful entry in the Wcct-9 G-section was downgraded because of similar white economy 😢

To whom it may concern: this hs# would be eligible for Dawson Triathlon Memorial and sets the bar very high for the hs# section (as I guess Michal has already at least two better works to be submitted). I am genuinely looking forward to the award as I expect it to be full of the first class problems. With some luck at least something from me as well…
And by the way, the Joost’s version Na7>a3, -Ge1 seems much better, taking care of the economy issue.

I don’t know, if better, but I have different ones for Dawson Triathlon 🙂
Concerning Joost’s version, it solves nicely the problem of non-active officer in each phase. On the other hand, formal correspondence (in the same arrival square) is for me not so much important, as there are no other formal relations between solutions. So I still like more the original setting, but simultanoeusly I think that this will be minority meaning. (Frankly speaking I searched only square suitable for two-move nightrider manoeuvre and I did not consider other possibilities.)

Shouldn’t Michal’s country be “Czechia”, not “Czehia”?
