No.53 – finished 10-Jul-2012 – Andernach Chess. This problem I’ve composed in memory of my grandmother, Anna Andrejeva, who would be 95 today. She was a very strong woman with lots of energy, the “head” of the family supporting everyone and restless herself. Two strong pieces are playing here for her. This problem also can be seen by No.40 in Original Problems of julasfairies.com.
