thanks for posting Abdelaziz!
A quick question concerning the #2 prize-winner...are there other existing examples of a wB making 7 obstruction tries?

Sir Jeremy Morse is your friend :-)
(Unless I forget it, I look it up there and answer tomorrow,
if nobody else did.)

Task by Jaques Fulpius, Journal de Geneve, 1976:

(= 12+12 )
#2

1. Ld7/Lf7/Lg8/Lf5? ...Tc8/Se6/f5/g5!;
1. Lg4/Ld5/Lc4/Lb3/La2? ...h4/Lc5/b4/Lc3/La1!;
1. Lh3! (Zugzwang)
9 tries and solution
There are similar problems with 9 and several with 7 and 8 tries. I cannot understand such an award, this is a very old idea and there is nothing new in this prizewinner.

The judge, Jean Morice, with no doubt knew well the problem you show - he quoted it in an obiturary of Jaques Fulpius in Phenix 2007.

Here is the probleme of Cramatte :

Jacques Cramatte
Maroc-Echecs 2011
Prix
(= 10+13 )
2#

1.Bb8! [2.Rf4‡]
1…Sg6 2.B×g6‡
1…Rf2 2.S×g3‡
1…g5 2.Sh6‡
1…d6 2.Q×c8‡
1…Se2 2.Q×d5‡
1…Q×c4 /Qd6 2.S(×)d6‡
1…Bc7 2.S×e3‡

1.Bg5? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…Sg6!
1.B×g3? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…Rf2!
1.Bh6? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…g5!
1.Bc7? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…d6!
1.Be5? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…Se2!
1.Bd6? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…Q×c4!
1.B×e3? [2.Rf4‡] but 1…Bc7!

I can see a few reasons why this pb received a prize :

1) the general level of the tournament was not very high (following what the judge himself wrote)
2) here, each refutation is by a new b. unit
3) there is a special feature in 1.Bc7? and 1.Bb8! : they introduce the defense (refutation) 1...d6
4) the key looks nice (tough it happens often with this theme)
5) the matrix seems not to be anticipated
6) all in all, the pb looks nice.

On the other hand, there is a fair share of judges who rather would not award a prize in a case of absence of prizeworthy problem. It depends also on the overall standards of the source (magazine, journal, etc.). Prize in feenschach has generally more "weight" than Prize in Bojovník.

I think, a prizeproblem should deserve this award absolutely, not relatively. So just my 2 ct looking at Jaques reasons:
1) If tournament's level is not high, a judge should not cover this giving a prize to the relatively best problem
2) Fulpius problem shows also 7 tries with refutations by different pieces
3) This is a very wellknown feature in such problems
4) In most tasks of this kind the key piece moves to the corner ...
5) May be partly, but the whole idea without any innovation
6) Nice is nice, but not enough for a prize IMHO.

The record is Fulpius, but !9! tries (Be6 moves to everywhere except
c8 and the kitchen sink). See Morse for details. From my head, it's

(= 12+12 )

@ Franck :

So, you don't agree with the judge. It's OK.
