http://www.milanvel.net/pub/FairyKings.pdf | | (2) Posted by Kevin Begley [Tuesday, Jan 1, 2013 02:48]; edited by Kevin Begley [13-01-01] | Don't ask me how a single-line stalemate miniature, showing a rather outlandish mixed-AUW (white: nR,nS,nB, black: Q) earned 3rd Prize (section D); and, don't ask me to recount why I submitted it (either I liked the move ordering, or I plead the right to misremember).
No, I am not challenging Mark's judgement -- and, so as not to refrain to partisan interests, I will simply concede that my own judgement is likely clouded by other subjective preferences.
That said, I do want to publish three other entries here, as originals for Mat Plus Forum.
Not for the purpose of comparison -- I simply consider them worthy of publication, and this seems the best place.

note: I don't know that it matters much, but these were published 2012 (my time). | | (3) Posted by Ian Shanahan [Tuesday, Jan 1, 2013 03:52] | Sweet problems, Kevin; and far better than some of my own unrewarded problems in this tourney. I think they're worth at least a Commendation (if I were the judge). Happy New Year! | | (4) Posted by Kevin Begley [Tuesday, Jan 1, 2013 04:19] | Thanks Ian.
Happy new year ...for everybody! | | (5) Posted by Kevin Begley [Wednesday, Jan 16, 2013 07:20] | The date for this tourney (which appears all over the award as "2009-2011") is clearly in error.
I believe the correct date should be "2011-2012." | | (6) Posted by Joost de Heer [Sunday, Feb 3, 2013 22:43]; edited by Joost de Heer [13-02-03] | Second prize (Paul Raican) is cooked:
