237th theme tourney of the Schwalbe
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Schwalbe Fairy editor Arnold Beine Die Schwalbe announces a thematic tourney.
Theme: Required are fairy proof games (not A→B) with the following theme: A Schnoebelen piece is captured by a pawn, this pawn promotes and then is captured (no matter whether as Schnoebelen, Prentos or as Ceriani-Frolkin).
The theme calls for one or more fairy conditions that allow pawns to enter and leave the 1st/8th rank (e.g. Pointreflection, Annanchess+make&take, etc). No more than 3 fairy conditions are permitted.
Submissions should be sent to the director Rainer Kuhn, Hammanstr. 23, 67549 Worms, Gernmany.
E-Mail: Rainer.Kuhn@web.de | Deadline: Feb 28, 2025 | Judge: Arnold Beine | Prize fund: 150 EUR.
Theme too complex (for newbies to PG) like me
You can use fairy conditions that allow promotions on other ranks than the 1st/8th rank (e.g. Mecklenberger chess) avoiding the need tor fairy conditions allowing pawns to enter/leave the first rank.
Or Glasgow Chess
You’d still need a second fairy condition to allow a pawn capture of the Schnoebelen piece, Mecklenberger chess won’t need a second condition.
