5 - h#2 sentinels b) sentinels opposit pawns

De Haas, B.

white Sb7 black Ka6 Ba7

h#2 Sentinels(1+2)
b) sentinels opposit pawns

In Sentinels, each playing figure leaves a pawn on its starting square (except the 1st or 8th row),
provided that the number of pawns on the same side does not exceed 8.
In Sentinels in opposit pawn, the pawn left is the opponent's colour.

Solution

{

} a) {sentinelles
} 1.Ba7-b6[+bPa7] Sb7-d6[+wPb7] 2.Bb6-a5[+bPb6] b7-b8=S # {

} b) {opposit pawns
} 1.Ba7-c5[+wPa7] a7-a8=S 2.Bc5-a7[+wPc5] Sa8-c7 # {(it is well checkmate because the capture of Nb7 leaves a white pawn on a6.

h#4 Rois Kobul(3+3)
b) ♞g8 --> b8

When a figure is captured, the king of the side of the figure acquires its march.
He becomes a normal King again if a pawn is captured.

Solution

{

} a) {
} 1.Sg8-h6 Bc1*h6[e8=rS] 2.rSe8-f6 Ke1-e2 3.rSf6-g4 f2-f3 + 4.rSg4-h2 Bh6-f4 # {

} 1.Ke8-f7 Bc1-f4 2.Kf7-g6 Bf4*b8[g6=rS] 3.rSg6-h4 Bb8-g3 + 4.rSh4-g2 + Ke1-f1 #

white Pb6c6d2c4b3 Kh2 Rc2 Ba1 black Bb7e5 Ka8 Qc5 Pg2 Sd6g3 Re2

ser-s#12 circe madrasi(8+8)

White plays n legal moves in a row and forces Black to mate in 1 move
a captured piece is reborn on its original square if it is free, otherwise it disappears
two opposing pieces of same nature which observe each other are paralysed

Solution

{

If we start immediately with} 1.Kh2*g3[+bSb8] 2.Kg3-h2 3.c6*b7[+bBc8] + {Black's reply is not} 3...Ka8*b7[+wPb2] # {but rather } 3...Bc8*b7[+wPb2] { the field must therefore be prepared

} 5.Rc1-a1 6.Ra1-a2 7.Ba5-c3 8.Bc3-a1 {

} 9.d4-d5 10.Kh2*g3[+bSb8] 11.Kg3-h2 12.c6*b7[+bBc8] + Ka8*b7[+wPb2] # {(as } 12...Bc8*b7[+wPb2] {will be a self-check}
