[Retros] CCC Puzzles

[Николай Белухов]

 Dear Mario, dear Gerd,

Here is the best I was able to come up with last night and this morning; for the sake of clarity, I will only write what the move is and not what it is not. I also find it easier to write ":" for capture (I am used to Russian notation), please excuse me for this!

First, one little problem: A chess game begins with
1. [] []
2. [:] [+]
3. [] [:+]
4. [] [:+]
5. [] [:+]
6. [] [+]
7. [] [+]
8. [] [+]
9. [] [+] ...
Who wins?

Then, if this problem hopefully does not turn out cooked, the game could be continued like this:

1. [] []

2. [:] [+]

3. [] [:+]

4. [] [:+]

5. [] [:+]

6. [] [+]

7. [] [+]

8. [] [+]

9. [] [:+]
10. [:] []
11. [+] []
12. [:+] []
13. [+] [:]
14. [] [:]
15. [] [:]
16. [] [:+]
17. [] [+]
18. [] [+]
19. [] [+]
20. [] [:+]
21. [:] []
22. [:+] []
23. [:+] [:]
24. [] []
25. [] [#]

The intended solutions for both problems are at the bottom of the post. Please write if you find them sound!
Best wishes,
Nikolai

1. d4 c5 2. dc Qa5+ 3. b4 Q:b4+ 4. c3 Q:c3+ 5. Qd2 Q:B+ 6. Qd1 Qc3+ 7. Qd2 Qc1+ 8. Qd1 Qc3+ 9. Qd2 Qc3+, and the game is drawn by the triple repetition rule. 

1. d4 c5 2. dc Qa5+ 3. b4 Q:b4+ 4. c3 Q:c3+ 5. Qd2 Q:B+ 6. Qd1 Qc3+ 7. Qd2 Qc1+ 8. Qd1 Qc3+ 9. Nd2 Q:N+ 10. Q:Q Kd8 11. Qa5+ b6 12. Q:P+ Ke8 13. Qd8+ K:Q 14. c6 dc 15. g4 B:P 16. Kd1 B:P+ (the following waltz between the King and the Bishop is the part of the intended solution that I find most interesting) 17. Kc2 Bd3+ 18. Kb3 Bc4+ 19. Kc2 Bb3+ 20. Kb1 B:P+ 21. R:B Kd7 22. R:P+ Ke6 23. R:P+ B:R 24. Bd3 Bf6 25. Bc2 Ra1#
