Welcome to the July Supplement. My apologies for the
non-appearance of the May issue; during a spell of illness
I thought it was better lo cancel it than risk holding up
publication of the main magazine.
I hope readers like the new look front page. With our
logo in evidence, I hope the supplement now looks as if it
is produced by the BCPS!
All originals printed here take part in the normal Prob/emlst tournaments, so that publication in this supplement
is equivalent to publication in the main magazine.
For this Supp/emenl, I am looking for straightforward
originals of all types. ldeally, they should be pointed, well
constructed, and have entertainmentvalue. lf you thinkthat
you have anything suitable, please submit it to me at the
address above. I would appreciate it if composers would
submit problems clearly drawn or stamped on diagrams,
please. I would also be happy if mmposers could somehow
hide the solrltion so that I may have the pleasure of solving
their originals. Many thanks!
The supplement has its own unified solving ladder and
all are eligible to enter it. Prizes are in line with the main
Forgive me for taking an example from a recent P/ob/emist, but it is a very useful one. As a solver, the wPcz hits
me in the eye. Perhaps we allow 1..-Kd4 and meet it with
2.Qd3
but thanks to the wPf2, after 1.Rxc6, Kd4 is
already met by the threatened 2.Qc4 # (along with 2.Qd3 #
and 2.Qe5 #f without the aid of the wPc2. This leads the
solution.

An economical Zagoruyko (in which at least two defences lead to changed males in at least three phases of play)
with the added feature that the thematic defences form a
pair oI Grimshaw interferences. As some solvers point out
however, the mates are concurrent (ie the mating piece is
simply moving to a different square on the same line).'

Strictly speaking one could argue that 1...Kf6 in the try play
and 1...Kd6 after the key are not defences, since they lead
tothe threat rnates, but perhaps I am being pedantic!' (MM)

WHAT IS A GRIMSHAW?

1...B97 2.Qxf7 # and 1...R97 2.Qes #.2.Qxf7 is dayabte
because the B has interfered with the R's guard of f7, and
2.Qe5 works because the R has interfered whh the B's
