Very nice problem with quiet W2 anticipating the second move black interference!

Moreover the setting is very nice,something which is a typical feature of this excellent Serbian composer.

It takes computer checking to reveal all the secrets of this seemingly easy-made construction. Pd2 is needed to prevent surprising cook 1.Sc5+ Ka5 2.Ra3+! ba3 3.Bc3# Bishop has to be on a6 to prevent 1.Sc5+ Ka5 2.Qg7! WK must be exactly on e2 (not d1, or g2), to prevents 1.Qg4, and 1.Qh5: Sg6 2.Sc7 Sf4+! Both BS'use the only possible squares against 1.Qh5. All in all this seems to be a perfect construction, and a really refreshing content in the times of boring modern threemovers.

Thanks for elaborating on this Marjan. I think Milan V. would've loved this!

The Australian maestro W.A.Whyatt also loved this style of composing! In his problems the solver is not asked the question "How?" but 'why?' That aptly sums up this Radovic original.

Thanks for mentioning W.A.Whyatt, Seetharaman. I love his style, too.

However this seems to be only an improved version of the composer's earlier example of the theme.

Yes - the setting has been improved now almost out of recognition in several ways, but the basic idea and matrix is the same as in the older problem.

How much the judge should consider the earlier, inferior problem in the evaluation of 538 is an interesting question...

Thanks Seetharaman for finding this earlier version! Yes, 2nd and 3rd white moves in both main variations are the same, but all else turned a sketchy work into a real composition.

Re my comment #8 above:
The word "consider" got into the wrong paragraph! Should move to the second paragraph, just before the word "consider". Then my meaning will hopefully be clear.
