Thank you for the dedication – Ladislav, Daniel and Julia!
The problem is nice! If the authors were managed to do hs#5.5 with adding 1…h1R and 1…h1B then it will be even more attractive! But – in view of big overcome technical difficulties! – it is fortunate that this hs#5 is correct, legal and succefull!
Yes, the promotion in HS#5.5 was the original idea. But Mother Nature was against us, after promotion to bQ put us too many obstacles in the way.
The zugzwang finales remind me of the following problem, which has AUW!
