471 Pat a Mat 26 - September 1999

Comment on original for solving:
Miniature 471 has two variations ending in model mates with colour echo (black king stays on squares of different colour).

Solution:
1.Jf5! zz,
1...Ka7 2.Jd6 Ka6 3.Sb7+ Ka7 4.Jcb5#,
1...d6 2.Jxd6 Ka7 3.Jcb5+ Ka6 4.Sb7#.

Colour echo. It is a pity that the second white move is the same in both variations. (IG)

472 Pat a Mat 26 - September 1999

Comment on original for solving:
Next fourmover contains thematical tries 1.Qd8+? A, 1.Sf5+? B and 1.Qb8+? C. With the solution you can also changes of functions of moves (if you look hard enough...).

Solution:
1.Dd8+? (A) Sd7! 2.Jf5+ (B) Kc5 3.Dc7+ Kb5(d5) 4.Ve5#, 2...Kc6!
1.Jf5+? (B) Kd5 2.Dd8+ (A) Sd7 3.Dd7 Vd6(Kc5) 4.Db5(Ve5)#, 2...Vd6!,
1.Db8+? (C) Kc6!,
1.Ve5! th. 2.Dc5+ Kd7 3.Ve7+ Kd8 4.Dc7#,
1...Sc6 2.Db8+ (C) Kd7 3.Je8! and 4.Dc7(Jf6)#,
1...Vc6 2.Vd5+ Kd5 3.Dd7+ Vd6 4.Db5# (3...Kc5(e5) 4.Dd4#, 2...Ke7 3.De8+ Kf6 4.De5#), 1...Kxe5 2.Dc5+ Kf6 3.Kxh6 and 4.Dg5#.

The fact that all tries are checking doesn't leave good impression. The change of functions seems then to be artificial. (IG)
