Fairy section of Wola Gulowska 2000 was dedicated to s#2 with leo, vao and pao. Again this theme was very inspiring
for me. I quickly set a few schemes and subsequently tried to finish them. Some of them successfully, some in vain.
The latter I then offered to a few friends. Scheme of 306 had initially the form of reciprocal change, it was
Michel's idea to extend it into Lacny cycle and then to finish it in the mutate form. Of course, this way the
construction is heavier, but the content more interesting. Just analyse the ways of taking care of flight e7...
In my opinion very good selfmate with fairy pieces.
And it isn't only my opinion. It was my very first problem that was reprinted in "Selected problems" column of
magazine The Problemist by John Rice. This is real honour for me - but there were reprinted 2nd and 1st Prize as
well and this is an indirect proof that Wola Gulowska 2000 had very good level!
Personal rating: A.
