1st TT Chess Composition Microweb C 28.2.1999

Announcement

Now, after exploring the possibilities of helpmates with black-king-movement twins (here at Microweb were shown already many examples) by studying already done compositions, it is the time for having the thematical tourney, isn't it? So...

Chess Composition Microweb announces a formal composing tourney for helpmates with twins by moving black king in two sections:
a) orthodox helpmates (judge Anders Uddgren),
b) heterodox helpmates (judge Juraj Lörinc), it means helpmates using at least one fairy element (any number of fairy elements allowed).
Helpmates can have any number of phases, but there must be at least one twin and twinnings must be done only by moving black king. Entries should be sent by email to juraj.lorinc@bigfoot.com before 28th February 1999. The award will be published at Chess Composition Microweb and there is also possibility of paper printed form.

Please, let know your friends about our competition!
