[Etienne Dupuis]

Greetings !

In first issue of Probleemblad 2002 there was a very nice and artistic problem by Satoshi
Hashimoto :

(14+15) SPG 19.0
[4b3/ppp3pp/1nrp1pk1/5p2/1bq5/2P3r1/PP3PPP/RNBQKBNR]

What can we compose that would be better than that ?

Étienne

| Congratulations to Gianni, and good choice of theme!

|

| The proviso "The promotee may be captured" seems strange, since the

| first sentence does not exclude that possibility.  Is the diagram allowed

| to have a thematic piece on a square other than its promotion square

| (after having left it, returned, and left again)?  Any other implicit

| conditions -- status of twins, fairy conditions, etc.?  Also, any

| previous instances in the literature besides those two "basic examples"?
