Diagram position is full of tense, in fact, it is white-to-play. White really plays :-) and his first move (give-and-take) changes everything completely, keeps tense and introduces varied play without common elements.

Reciprocal change of W1 after the same B1. I have found the scheme during composing for A. Onkoud JT, Michal has finished it. In the tourney we got nothing as reciprocal changes were ruled out, so the original was sleeping for some time. Later I uncovered a few problmes with the theme by Z. Labai and in CJF's Broodings. After some e-mail discussion, we have submitted the problem to one of the current leading world magazines. It got published quickly.

One of problems with neutral units made in one series in 2001. This one had originally very different scheme, but Michal has changed it and finished. The main point is in mating moves, they are captures by wK, and reborn neutrals cannot jump away.

3-fold echo of marine checkmate. Originally composed for Mark Ridley JT, this problem got nothing probably thanks to its schematism.
