 (17.12.2014) Here is one join problem with Circle SneK. It was born during the conversation between me and Pierre about the 2nd KoBulChess TT - Christmas Tourney 2014. There are still 4 days for all of you to participate on it!

(16.12.2014) This problem by Vladislav Nefyodov was inspired by problem 421 by Nikola Predrag. It is almost the same, but there is AUW instead of double Phenix. The readers and the judge will decide is this improvement and which is better. All author's comments are published as I received them. Welcome in KoBulChess to Vladislav!

(01.12.2014) This new fairy condition is a similar variation of SneK Chess - condition which was presented during the WCCC in Bern 2014 as a theme of the Bulgarian Wine Tourney. I believe Circle SneK is with interesting possibilities and it is now included in the solving program WinChloe (version 3.31 which is now available - many thanks to Christian Poisson!). You can see here the definition and examples.

(23.11.2014) Really great fairy problem by Nikola Predrag where in three solutions we can see a rich thematic complex in logical-strategic style with tries, capture preventing selfblocks of squares, sacrifices, Umnov etc. Excellent fairy play in three directions and full explanations of the thematic content by the author.
