Julia there are typos! The f4 bishop should be on g4 and the rook on h6 needs to be on a6. Also, the promotion is to a dummy unit and not a dummy pawn, or is there no other way to show it? Lastly I would like for the stipulation to contain “(-:” to indicate further the deviant nature of it from orthodox rules (all chess joke are fairy in some sense anyway).

Thank you. The dummy pawn is the ultimate underpromotion; promotion to nothing can sometimes mean everything!

Julia, under the diagram there should be a (-:, not an ordinary “:-)” smiley…

P.S. Michael Caillaud emailed me recently. I happy to report that he ran Jacobi for 0.2 seconds short of a day and the problem is fully C+! So the problem’s introduction in the June posting ought the be changed please, dear Julia.
