The fairy lesson, opposite to the four previous lessons, seems to have been spared by the paralysing scum rabble on French soil. On the other hand, a quarteron of saboteurs (the fact that the club of St Lazare presents itself as a club of railwaymen is in a way an "original failure") has forbidden me to go to the traditional solution championship of Messigny.

Besides, the well-known dynamism of its organizer being what it is, I cannot communicate to you the problems of the said French championship as a "holiday duty" as I did the eight previous years. As a consolation, I give you the essential of two other championships : Albion 2003 and Finland 2002, as well as some other not negligible problems, and a modest extract of the fairy course itself (honoured by the presence of a problemist of classification "elo" 2800 of which you will easily guess the identity)
