Very interesting initial position with black pieces only, which transforms into white during the solutions, Forsberg twins.

8 Rook-Hopper and 1 Nightrider-Hopper promotions, open of lines and very good fairy play – a new great fairy seriesmover by the bulgarian maestro! The final position deserves a separate diagram. (Diyan Kostadinov)

Ceriani-Frolkin QSss, Phoenix-Pronkin qb. Quickly after publication of problem n.24, I found a cook: 12. …g7:g1R! 13.h2-h3 Rg1-g2 14.Rf3:g2 Sh2 15.R1:h2. Here is the attempt of correction (Author). I really hope that this excellent problem is sound now. (Diyan Kostadinov)
