[Retros] Seehofer problem without typo

[Bernd Gräfrath]

Hi all,

I made a mistake in my last e-mail. The position of Wilfried's problem is:

White: King f8, pawns b7, c7, e7, f7, g7. (6)

Black: King a5, Queen h3, Rooks d8, d5, Knight c8, pawn a2, Nightrider c1. (7)

(black Rook at d5, not h8)

Best,

Bernd

Hello,

Another question on economy: What's the 'rule of thumb' for promoted 
pieces? I composed a new fairy problem yesterday (again a task...), and 
have two versions: One with 10 black pieces, but with three black 
bishops, one with 11 black pieces, where one of the bishops was replaced 
by a rook and a pawn (both the bishop and the rook/pawn are 
cookstoppers, and not relevant for the theme).

Personally I don't mind the promoted piece, but I have a way to avoid 
it. Should I use that, or doesn't it matter?

And a question: does anyone have the position for the following composition?
