The Ural’s Problemist-2012 – Fairy section:
“В 2012-м году в журнале было опубликовано 47 задач сказочного жанра. Боюсь ошибиться, но, кажется, уровень турнира по сравнению с прошлыми годами вырос. Жаль, что это произошло в последний год существования журнала.” (The judge)

4th FIDE World Cup in Composing 2015 – Fairies
The preliminary results in section G-Fairies
of the 4th FIDE World Cup in Composing for 2015!
I’m very happy to show the results, G-Fairies (PDF, 155KB) by Tadashi Wakashima, available among the others on the bottom of the 4th FIDE World Cup in Composing 2015 page of wfcc.ch website. Thanks a lot to the director of this competition, Aleksey Oganesjan, and to all judges! My sincere congratulations to the winners!
About my own problem: Starting the 14th Japanese Sake Tourney in August, 2014, I was exploring Back-To-Back condition being sure that there’re lots of possibility in it. Many of JF’s readers know that now I’ve came to combination of BTB with neutral pieces, but my problem for the 4th FIDE World Cup was composed in the autumn, 2014, and my intention that time was a strategic HS# problem showing as much as possible different BTB effects. You’re very welcome to comment! – Julia.
ANDON PETKOV – 100 MT – 2015 AWARD
I note with great appreciation and satisfaction that among the participants are many of the most famous authors of fairy problems in the world. The dozens of great compositions presented reveal the beauty of the genre HS#. The competition was very strong in both sections and I was very embarrassed when determining the order of the problems to receive prizes, HMs and Commendations.
