Thanks to Patrol chess condition it turns out that regardless of side to move black castling is illegal. That's why not
1.O-O-O?? a8Q#,
but
1.Kd8 Rb3 2.Kc8 Rb8#

Simple showing Patrol chess possibilities in retro. Note reciprocal change of functions pa7/Ra3.

Personal rating: C.









Shortest possible mate? (7+10)

a) Last 3 halfmoves: 1.d4xe3 e.p.+! e2-e4 2.d5-d4+
b) 1.d4xe3 e.p.+?? illegal in Patrol chess, but there is 1.O-O+!
c) 1...e2-e4?? illegal in Isardam, but there is 1.c2xBd1S+!

One of my absolute highlights - Valladao task without moving one piece in a very delicate twinning and very good economy (improved thanks to Pascal Wassong, Phénix retros editor).

Personal rating: A.









Last move? (2+9)
a) Orthodox
b) Patrol chess
c) Isardam

1.Kg5 Mh5 2.Kh4 Me8#
1.Kf3 Me8 2.Kg3 Mf8#

Product of my first tries to compose something with symmetric position but asymmetric solutions. My big mistake... Later I tried to achieve more quality, usually successfully.

Personal rating: E.

1.Me6-a3 Md1-e5 2.Ma3-b7 Me5-c4 + 3.Kd4-d3 Mb3-c8 #

Absolutely perfect position showing 2 pairs of echoed mates. Mooses in köko at their best! Of course, no big strategy, but who can expect it with such simple material?

Personal rating: A.

4 mates, only 2 of them echoed. This achievement I like less than previous (in fact it is worse), but it is not bad.

You can see now I really played with these fairy elements a while and at least I composed something interesting even under such strange combination. My thanks go to authors of Popeye that helped me a lot during testing my ideas.

Personal rating: C.
