I’ve prepared a little presentation for this page:
Three Variations of One Theme
(06-Jul-2012)
Chameleon piece is one of my favorite pieces. Also, this is the first fairy piece I’ve ever used. So, after previous compositions showing Dentist theme with Locusts, I’ve decided to try my lovely Chameleons for it.
Starting to compose one idea, I’ve got to see some other variations of it. Of course, I don’t think that these 3 variations I’m presenting now are the only possible. But for my abilities it’s already quite enough! 🙂 Other possible variations to add are very welcome from you!
I couldn’t tell myself which one I like more or which one is better from my problems below. I like to see all of them together, so I’m presenting them to you this way!
No.36, 37, 38 – by Julia Vysotska. А variation of Bi-color Bristol-theme in combination with Dentist-motives and Umnov. The variations of Bristol-clearances: No.36 – White-Black; No.37 – Black-White; No.38 – White-Black in set-play, then Black-White in real solution. About Dentist-theme: it looks like a non-standard form here and I’m not sure how this mechanism is to be named. Probably – Pseudo-Dentist? I’d appreciate your views about this theoretical & terminological question and also your comments about the problems below! Thank you in advance!

Chess composition is like art: there are not objective criteria for quality; so, it’s matter of an individual taste which chess problem is better.
To my taste the last version, No. 38, is the best. I mostly prefer set and actual play rendering of such ideas, and the movements in different directions is nice.
I am agree with Zoran – it’s matter of an individual taste which chess problem is better. Actually I also prefere n38, but some composers can like the open of lines in n36 and n37 more…
By the way we have to note that the Dentist theme is in specific form here, because in initial position the wcQ is pinned by the black cB which after that unpins the white piece. Nice effect.
And something more – in n38 (as in first solutions of n36 and n37) – there is no Bristol theme, because the front thematic piece do not make critical move. But this is not so important for these problems…
Nice problems all three. I too would prefer 38 for its opposite side moves. As Diyan rightly pointed out, no bristol here, but only follow my leaders. Interesting variation of Dentist theme, the pinning piece itself making an interference unpin !
Oh, thanks to all of you!
Actually, No.38 was the most complicated for me to realize..
But in the previous two I like the 3rd Chameleon piece wB /wS.
About the themes.. Right, no Bristol in the 3rd version, although I wanted it to be.
And my Dentist is not a clear Dentist, yes? But how to name it? I hope, I’ll write the comments for each of this problems after your comments! 🙂
