You were born on the wrong day.
Jan 4 was chosen because on that day in 1869, the first declaration was made (by problemists from what today is the Czech Republic - probably Bohemia at the time) that chess composition is an art. |

Thanks to Rainer Staudte for showing it to me!

Let us celebrate this day, as far as we can. I offer two leftovers from me that I composed during but were too bad to send to Jenever tourney 2014.
(= 3+2 )
SH, original
Draw
1.b5 Ke4 2.Ka7! Kd5 3.b6 Kc6 4.b7 R:b3 5.b8S+ draws
(= 3+2 )
SH, original
Draw
1.a4 Kd4 2.a5 R:b3+ 3.Kc5 Ra3 4.Kb6 Kd5 5.a6 Kd6 6.Kb7
Not 6.a7? Rb3+ 7.Ka6 Kc7 and Black wins.
6.-Rb3+ 7.Kc8 Ra3 8.Kb7 Kd7 9.a7 Rb3+ 10.Ka8 Kc7 stalemate |
