(03.11) I’ve added 4 more of my published problems. I guess that many of you have already seen them, as these are KoBul Kings problems I’ve already shown in thematic issue Ideas with KoBul Kings. Anyway, had to add them, as I’ve decided to to create a full list of all my published problems (luckily, I don’t have too many of them! 🙂 ). You can see 36 of them in My Problems section, or the last problems added directly from here:

• No.33 – Light Miniature with KoBul Kings
• No.34 – My the very best of KoBul Kings
• No.35 – Joint problem with Petko A. Petkov, Locusts in KoBul Kings problem
• No.36 – A simple one, good idea with a weak realization?

(15.10) Dear Visitors and Commentators! Today I’ve installed several plugins to prevent spam comments (several hundreds per day) and registration of spam-users (I had about 900 of them!).
