			<description><![CDATA[Dear Ganapathi, thank you for your interest and your questions. Of course the useless black pieces in some phase is a weakness, and it should be avoid if is possible, but unfortunatelly sometimes it can not be happens and can be accepted. Even in orthodox helpmates we can see many problems with idle black pieces in some phase. The idle white piece is even more bad weakness and usually the problem of this type should be not accepted (awarded). In both problems you mentioned the thematic complex is very nice and in my opinion they deserve to be awarded even with this weakness. Till to the date of the tourney pr.n.3 was one of very few composed KoBul Kings problems with all moves as thematic captures. This is difficult and beautiful. But I repeat - even if sometimes the idle black piece in some phase is acceptable, it is unpleasant and you should try to avoid it. By the way - the idle pawns in some phase usually are something normal and can be completely accept.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Diyan, Playing thr' some of the awarded problems I found Black pieces idle in one solution. eg Pr.3 (3rd Prz) Sol.a)Sb7,Rf3 b) Re5,Bf7 and Pr.8 (2nd HM) Sol.a)Ra5,Be1 b) Re8,Sb8 So, I would want to know the criteria in deciding what is economy in a Fairy composition as I am only keen to improve my composing skill.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Paul Raican pointed out that the basic thematic content of problem n.29 can be realised without KoBul Kings fairy condition in following way: white: Royal Leo d5, Rd7, Bf7, Pa4, b5, d2, f4, g5, h3 black: Royal Leo g2, Rb6, Se2, Pa7, b4, b7, e7, g6 H#2,5 2 sol (9+8) 1...Bg8 2.rLEe4 rLEf7 3.rLEe6 rLEh7# 1...Rd8 2.rLE:d2 rLEd7 3.rLEd6 rLE:a7# Well, Paul is right that now the problem is without using of fairy condition, but in my opinion using of KoBul Kings in the original problem n.29 is better, because the play is more dinamic and the position is more clear.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you all for your comments here and via emails. The judges of fairy tourneys know that this is difficult task especially when the entries are so many, but I believe that the people deserve to receive an awards as soon as possible, so I tried to do the best of me to prepare and publish it without delaying.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you Ram for your remark about problem No 20. In beginning I really thought to announce the tourney for 2-4 moves because it looks very promising in fairies (for example as the Alaikov MT which is also organized by KoBulChess website, or even WCCT Fairy theme is in 2-4 moves), but in the period of announcement (the middle of 2011) the computer check of KoBul Kings still was not deeply tested, so I decided to make it in 2-3 moves. It looks like 2-4 moves are really somehow wrongly remembered so Crisan, also I during preparing the award or anybody else - all we aren't saw this mistake. But I believe that this wonderful composition deserve a Prize and I hope that all participants will be agree that it can be accepted for the competition...]]></description>
