Problem 576: Themis Argirakopoulos - Fairy (Circe Kamikaze) |
(06.05.2015) Fairy problem (in two versions - 576 and 576.1) which according to Sebastien Luce was a Record for castling problem up to the date when I received it for publication about a month ago. The author wrote: "Both problems created after Sebastien Luce ask me for originals, showing as many castles as possible. Without his motivation and encouragement, none of them was made. Thank you Sebastien, you are a tireless chess enthusiast!"
Circe Kamikaze: When a capture occurs, the capturing piece and the captured piece in this order (King excluded, unless otherwise stated) must be replaced on their rebirth square if it is empty, otherwise, the piece vanishes.

Or, we can find another example with different condition other than Circe Kamikaze?
Castling is common in problem chess, especially when fairy pieces and/or conditions are used. Several examples have been published and composers have achieved interesting effects. Conditions with castling capabilities for reborn pieces (circe, anticirce etc) are composers favorites!
The goal here was to achieve as many castles as possible.
Mr Sebastien Luce (luceechecs.blogspot.gr/) is currently writting an article about chess problems and castles and he really appreciate any originals on the subject.
