18th TT Chess Composition Microweb C 10.10.2005

Our previous 17th TT Chess Composition Microweb was dedicated to neutral units. The submissions were diverse, about two dozens of them. Now we are going to switch to something completely different. There is one genre so far quite neglected in CCM TTs: seriesmovers. A few years ago there was a jubilee tourney of feenschach dedicated to series helpmates. Let's try these with some additional constraints!

Chess Composition Microweb announces formal thematical tourney for series helpmates (ser-h#) using at least one fairy piece or/and fairy condition and having at least two phases (two solutions, twins, set play + solution, duplex, ...). Any fairy elements (pieces, conditions) are allowed.

Results

Many thanks to mr. Daniel Novomesky for preparation of his award. His work was difficult thanks to the unusually high number of entries. We had 55 fairy series helpmates competing and proving the growing interest in fairy chess even among usually orthodox composers. The following people have submitted their compositions:
And here are the winners: award by Daniel Novomesky.

Send any claims against this award to Juraj Lörinc before February 28th 2006, please.

One claim, in a sense collective one, was received. It has questioned originality and quality of the 1st Prize. It was forwarded to the judge together with all the evidence for the consideration. The judge has decided to keep the award unchanged. As such it becomes final.

Again many thanks to everyone who helped tourney success in whichever way!
