Lot of nice critical moves and Anti-battery formations ! It is the WCCT theme. Good problem, unfortunately suffers by comparison of the 9-wcct entries now available online !
But it doesn’t mean that any new problem on the same theme will have a predecessor among 9-wcct entries!
While a direct anticipation is also possible, it is more likely that an idea on that theme might have been done more intensively among those entries. After all some of the best composers of the world were working on that theme for a year ! I was just lucky that my No.2 was not affected.
