[Retros] Christmas Contest of Stuttgarter Zeitung

[Jens Guballa]

Hi,

I need to make some corrections/clarifications:

I translated the German word "Stein" with "piece", but "chessmen" is
probably the correct translation, as "Stein" means "piece or pawn".

So the correct translation for problem B is:
"Remove a chessman. Then checkmate in one move."

And for problem E:
"Two chessmen are exchanging their places. Then ceckmate in two moves."

On the retro corner Otto has published the correct translation.

In addition there is a mistake in the FEN I posted for problem E. There
is a black bishoph on h1. The diagram on the retro corner is wrong. In
case of any doubts: please check out the diagrams on Harald Keilhack's
page:

Hopefully, here comes the correct position E:

Otto, can you please update the diagram on the retro corner?

Best regards,
