			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks Sven for your comments. It was very interesting to the sort of difficulties faced by the solvers. I realise how solvers could have had a hard time in deciding that the problem is a ZZ... with so many black pieces apparently free.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dear Raman, I was one of the solvers at ECSC. Your s#3 caused a lot of troubles for most of the solvers. Some of the solvers gathered points without realising that it is about zugzwang. I realised that it was zugzwang when there were only 2 minutes left on the clock and so I only managed to write down all but one variation and didn't even have time to spend a second on the selfmate moremover. Really amazing how many ways there are to block this annoying bishop. And the key was also hard to find: Although I knew that the battery did not help, I was not so sure if I need something like Qxh3+ Nxh3# in some variation. Best regards, Sven-H]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you Eric, the article and examples are very interesting! Especially your final sentence there sounds wonderful: "That’s what actually helpmate composition is all about nowadays: finding new mixture(s) of known effects in more or less explored settings."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You are right of course :-) The correct link is http://chesscomposers.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-lucky-piece-arrangement.html I did not realize my mistake, because on KoBulChess website comments are not published immediately, they must be validated first.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hm, Eric, I didn't see chess related things in the article which you gave. Is it correct link?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It is nice to see that one of my favorite problems was considered for the premier Solving Tourney. It would be interesting to know the solvers comments. Unfortunately no such facility exists. It may be of interest to readers to know that this was the first selfmate I composed and so far the only one published! I composed two others for 4-WCCT but no luck !.]]></description>
