[Retros] Ke1 - g1 (Are the King and the Rook....?)

Hi Guus,

Here we inform the problem we were talking about:

Jorge Lois & Roberto Osorio
Peña del Mate de Ayuda- Buenos Aires

8/1pp1p2p/b1p5/1p4P1/PP4pb/QrP2PrR/BP3PPB/k5KR
How does this end?
Minimal Deviation from the Rules (MDR)

MDR is a modified convention to present a diagram (article under preparation)
The basic idea is that the diagram MAY be illegal as the result of a last 
geometrically correct illegal move. Then, retraction 7.4 of the Laws has to be made
and assume the art. 4 consequences.

This way, nothing has to be explained regarding fraction of move when presenting
the problem and the solutionist has to find by retroanalysis all the details.
Article 4.6 forces white in this problem to mate by O-O.
A traditional presentation of this problem would be #0.5, but obviously this is
much weaker than the MDR alternative.

Best,
Roberto
