[Joost de Heer]

I received feenschach 146, March 2002, in the mail today, with a few retro 
problems in it.

If you want to send solutions, send them to

Email address of Hans Gruber on the feenschach page on the retro corner is 
wrong, it's hg.fee at t-online.de. You can send originals to him.

Retract 5 moves for a S#1, Procaretractor, anticirce (Type Cheylan)

Zabel-pawns: Named after Erik Zabel, a cyclist. Pawns can make a double step 
on their promotion move, instead of on their first move (so in the diagram 
position, white can play for instance a6-a8=Q)

I'm sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free [ Solitude ]
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying                          [Candlemass]
I long for my time to come, death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
