| | (1) Posted by Ivan Denkovski [Saturday, Aug 20, 2016 17:12] | Gligor Denkovski Memorial Tourney To commemorate the 70th birthday of Gligor Denkovski (20 August 1946 - 15 January 2015), a formal composing tourney is announced in three sections.
Section A: Orthodox proof games, showing a combination of at least one typical retro theme and at least one theme or motif traditionally seen in other problem genres. See examples. Judge: Kostas Prentos
Section B: Orthodox helpmate threemovers (h#2.5-3) with free theme. Judge: Nikola Predrag
Section C: Orthodox selfmates (s#2-n) with free theme. Judge: Miodrag Mladenović
Closing date for all sections is 31 March 2017. Entries should be sent to Ivan Denkovski, email: denkovski@hotmail.com
The awards will be published in a special publication, which will be sent to all participants. Prizes (books) are provided for the best entries.
Examples for section A:

The Pronkin theme (a promoted piece moves to the initial game-array square of a captured piece of same type and colour) is a typical retro theme. In order that the promoted wQ finds a way to d1, Loyd's line clearance (13.Bb2-h8!) is performed.

Orthogonal-diagonal correspondence between the play on the orthogonal line a1-e1 and the play on the diagonal line c8-h3. The cyclic exchange of places between pieces (wR, wN, wQ and wK on their home squares) is another traditional problem motif. The Ceriani-Frolkin theme (a promoted piece is captured) is a typical retro theme. | | (2) Posted by Ivan Denkovski [Sunday, Mar 5, 2017 16:58] | Less than a month left for submissions.
I would like to use this brief reminder to present one more example for section A:
