Since this is not a proper defence (black can just take them with the rook) these are not included in the solution. 3) S3b= Rx3b (Kx1b +Bx3d K2b R'1b; Lx3b R'2b) +B3c Kx3c (Rx3c R'2b; Bx2c R'1c) R'4c 4) S4b= Kx2b (K4c G'5c K3d Rx2e+; K3d Rx2e+ K4c G'5c) B3b+ Kx3b (K1a G'2a; Kx1c G'1d) G'3c 5) R3a+ Kx3a (Sx3a N3c= K1a G'2a) Rx2b+ Kx2b S'3c K1c G'2d 6) B'1d Kx1d (Kx3c R'2c K4b R2b+) R'1e K2c R1b+ Kx3c (Kx1b B2b+) +R3b And here are some new problems: 1) Black: R5a, B4d, S3d Pieces in hand: S White: K3b, S4b, S2b, N2a 2) Black: R1d, B4c, S2g Pieces in hand: B White: K3e, G2c, P4d, P3b 3) Black: +R1c, B2a, S2b, L4d, P2e Pieces in hand: G White: K3d, G3c, S3e, L3a, P4e, P1d 4) Black: +R3e, N1g, +P3b Pieces in hand: S, L White: K2c, +R2f, G1b, L3a, P1c 5) Black: R5c, +B1b, L5d, +P5b Pieces in hand: P White: K3a, G3d, S3c, L2b, P4d 6) Black: R3a, B1b Pieces in hand: G, N, P White: K2b, B4a, G4c, P5a, P1c Reijer Grimbergen
