[Retros] Introduction to Proof Games

[Bernd Gräfrath]

Dear retro friends,

for a different understanding of the Valladao task, see e.g. the comment to a solution of a problem at
http://www.bcps.knightsfield.co.uk/problemist.html

As I said, there is some controversy about this point.

Best wishes,

Bernd

> Dear problem friends,

> 

> a) Below diagram 4, the stipulation should perhaps be given very exactly as

> "PG in exactly 4.0 moves" (because it is not a shortest proof game).

> 

> b) Above diagram 5, print "Schweizerische" instead of "Schwizerische".

> 

> c) Between diagram 7 and diagram 8: "occurs" instead of "occur"?

> 

> d) Between diagram 8 and diagram 9, the text may be misleading, because the

> Ceriani-Frolkin-theme is not necessarily connected with the Phoenix theme.

> 

> e) Between diagram 10 and diagram 11, the Valladao task is mentioned. There

> is some controversy whether this task requires an UNDER-promotion.
