Zagorujko 3x2 is executed twice and together we have 4 different mates after 1...b3 and even 6 different mates after 1...Gb3. Despite dry impression very rich content for miniature mutate!

With this problem we start a series of 3 Cyclone problems. Well, if you think a bit, you know how many interesting problems you can make with orthodox pieces only. Choosing appropriate fairy unit or two (same, of different colours) you get much wider possibilities. It is true for any themes, including Cyclone ones...

So here you can see 4-fold Djurasevic cycle with already standard grasshopper motivation.

Hubert Gockel

1.f5? A th. 2.SIe6# B
1...Rxf5 a 2.SIxf5-g4# C
1...Qxd6 2.SIxd6-d5#
1...Re1!

1.SIg4! C th. 2.f5# A
1...Rf5 a 2.SIxf5-e6# B
1...Qxd6 2.Sxd6#
(1...Rd5 2.Re3#, 1...Rg5 2.fxg5#, 1...Rh4 2.SIe6#, 1...f5 2.SIf3#, 1...Rf1 2.Sxd2#)

"Only" usual 3-fold Djurasevic cycle, but with slightly changed motivation, very typical for marine piece like sirene.









#2 (9+10)
sirene d7

Zoltan Labai
3rd HM Gvozdják 30 JT 1995

a)
1.Qf7! th. 2.Re4# A
1...f5 a 2.Bf4# B
1...Bxc5 b 2.Qe6# C
1...e6 2.Qxf6#

b)
1.Qd7! th. 2.Bf4# B
1...f5 a 2.Qe6# C
1...Bxc5 b 2.Re4# A
1...e6 2.Qxd6#

Generally symmetrical scheme for Shedey cycle is slightly de-symmetrized by different motivation of black defences: 1...f5 guards e4, while 1...Bxc5 pins Be3.









#2 (13+9)

Leonid Makaronez
3rd HM Phénix 1996

1...Sb~ 2.Rd7#
1...Se~ 2.Gf5#

1.Ga8! zz
1...Sb~ 2.Bc6#
1...Se~ 2.Bc4#

Simple mutate, in set play Gc8 guards e6 and plays to f5, while in solution Ga8 guards c6. The role of Ga1 is rather humble, he only prevents cook 1.Ba4.









#2 (8+6)
1+1 grasshopper
