			<description><![CDATA[I like very much the "bizarre Zilahi". I think it is an independent version of the 561 and deserves a diagram. My version adds a (not too complex) dual avoidance but amplifies the risk of direct anticipations.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The problem was inspired by Janevski's opening of wR's or wB's line by vacation of the same square with a capture of the respective white piece. Two mates by the promoted piece are perhaps too similar: W:Re8,Bf8,Ka7,Pd7,Be6; B:Qe7,Pd6,Pf6,Ke5,Rf4,Sc3 H#2 1.Qxf8 d8S 2.Se4 Sc6# 1.Qe8 d8Q 2.Re4 Qd6# A bizarre Zilahi is possible using a lack of tempo: W:Rf8,Bg8,Ka7,Pe7,Sg6,Ph4 ,Pd3; B:Qf7,Bh7,Pf6,Ph6,Pd5,Kf5 ,Ph5,Pd4 H#2 1.Qe6? e8Q 2.tempo? Bxe6# 1.Qfx8 e8Q! 2.Qb4! Be6# 1...exf8S? 2.tempo? Be6# 1.Qxg8 e8S 2.Kxg6 Rxf6# But I respect the author's original idea, it's quite nice.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm sorry, the wR is useless in one solution of my previous version. 8/2K1P2q/2R2ppb/4pk2/R7/3r4/8/8 (4+7) h#2 2 solutions 1.Qg8, e8=S (e8=Q?) 2.g5. Rxf6# 1.Qh8, e8=Q (e8=S?) 2.Bg5, Qe6#]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Since there is no counterpart to 3.Rxe6# from the wB (3.Bxd6#) I would prefer: 5R2/2BKP2q/2S1pppb/5k2/8/5P2/8/8 (5+7) H#2 2 solutions 1.Qg8, e8=S (e8=Q?) 2.f5, Rxf6# 1.Qh8, e8=Q (e8=S?) 2.Bf5, Qxe6# saving 2 units.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This has instantly reminded me of Abdelaziz Onkoud's lecture from Marianka 2014 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJtVJoyLhME - in which he has demonstrated this approach: adding halfmoves to the solutions to remove twins, bad twins or to enrich the content. It is also available in the Marianka bulletin - https://www.scribd.com/document_downloads/254662778?extension=pdf&from=embed&source=embed]]></description>
