So I collect from your examples that "n" (the number of moves) has no lower border, i.e. it does not have to be 4+ moves? Just for clarification.

There is no lower limit, indeed. However, as stated in the announcement the problem must be C+:
"All fairy pieces and conditions are accepted, provided that the problem is checked by a known solving program."

Good luck to all participants

A question to Vlaicu and Eric: in AntiCirce, do you consider thematic (=mates on the same square) the capture related square (for example multiple captures on the same square) or the rebirth one?
Thank you!

For our theme of mates on the same square, we consider as thematic the "final destination" square.
For example in AntiCirce, the rebirth square is the square to be considered for the realization of the theme (and not the square where the capture takes place).

The same observation applies to other conditions such as Take&Make or AntiSuperCirce.

Which link?
[ Edit: maybe if you add an 's' to http it will work? https://chesscomposers.blogspot.com/p/tzuica-tourney.html
On my Chrome browser both links work fine.]

By the way, the award has been updated with the new version of Petko's problem as he mentioned here: http://matplus.net/start.php?px=1536450946&app=forum&act=posts&fid=tt&tid=2192&pid=16797#n16797

That is strange, because the file property on Google Drive is "Anyone with the link can view".
