No.748 by Stephen Emmerson – One more variation of 100$ theme called “-$60 theme” by the author! 🙂 (JV)
No.748.1 by Stephen Emmerson – A new version to No.748, commented by the author as “In both settings, the dual choice Se6/Sf7 is avoided by check to the wK, but thanks to James Quah, with wKd8 it needs the Relegation rule for the avoidance to work. (BR prevents new cooks).” (JV)
Definition:
Relegation Chess: In addition to promotion of pawns to pieces, pieces (Q,R,B,S) arriving back on their pawns’ home rank are “relegated”: changed back to pawns.
