No.206 – ser-h#4 by Peter Harris  – This problem is dedicated to Nikola Predrag, and I’ve got it yesterday with the author’s words “I made this today for Nikola – for him to enjoy solving!“. I believe that not only Nikola will enjoy the solving! (JV)


Definitions:

White Maximummer – Only White must play the geometrically longest moves, Black plays orthodoxal.

Sentinels Pion advers:   When a piece (not a Pawn) moves, a Pawn of the colour of the opposite side appears on the vacated square if it is not on the first or the last rank, and if there are less than 8 Pawns of that colour on the board.

Anti-Circe (Cheylan): When a piece captures (including King), it must come back to its rebirth square. If this square is occupied, the capture is forbidden. A Pawn capturing on its promotion rank promotes before it is reborn. The captures on the rebirth square are forbidden.

Thanks for dedication. I have to admit that in b) I played 4.Qa8+ d8S?, counting on AC-Cheylan but forgetting White Maximummer.
Nice play and the twinning. A small formal doubt in a): isn’t it actually an inversed ser-s#4?

I am becoming too careless, twin a) is not an inversed ser-s#4 (wBe5 is not pinned in the end), I apologize.
