26th TT Chess Composition Microweb C 11.11.2009



To be or not to be? Or rather to be fairy or not to be fairy? This question might arise when you learn the theme of our new tourney ... or the notation of thematical problems.

Of course, the content should be fairy specific, if possible. And so...
