[Retros] Messigny 2003 (call for problems)

[CAILLAUDM at aol.com]

 Hi Kevin,

 1) There will be only 1 fairy in the selection, either PG/SPG or "pure" 
Retro (depends   on what is submitted...). Only thing I try to avoid is a 
Fairy genre that would favour too much some competitor (some of them compose 
Fairy retros; for example, Thierry Le Gleuher has already done many 
compositions in Monochromatic Chess and Einstein Chess, so these 2 genres are 
not candidate for the selection...).
 2) No deadline so to speak. Theorically it could be just 1 week before 
Messigny (I could always fill the gaps with non originals or my own 
originals...).
There will be a "selection in the selection" if more problems are submitted 
than necessary (could be for the fairy problem for example...). I will let 
authors know if their problems are "selected".

 Best,
  Michel

>> Hello,

>> 

>> This year, I am organising the traditional Retro Solving Tournament (the 

>> French Retro Solving Championship) at the Messigny meeting (6th-9th June).

>> It consists in about 8 problems to solve in 2 hours. The selection 

>> composed of originals should ideally include a retro accessible to 

>> "everybody" and a fairy retro. The "classical" retros should have clearcut 

>> stipulation (last m moves?, last n captures? a.s.o.) so as to make 

>> notation of competitors unquestionable. 

>> A report of the competition will be published in Phenix and problems will 

>> later be judged together with other retros published in Phenix 2003.

>> 

>> You are welcome to submit a problem for the competition.

>> If so, you should send it to me (not to the list!), preferably without the 

>> solution so I can test the difficulty (not over-difficult please : il will 

>> not be selected if I can't solve it in a 2- hours time!), and keep your 

>> problem secret from anybody else...
