I have one question.
Is it allowed to create a thematic white battery from a halfbattery system?

Yes, provided that the same battery is created at least three times, i.e. that another front piece from halfbattery plays three first moves (e.g. two tries and key).

I have a question on example 5.
After Kg5-f4, is it really the *same* battery?

Likewise, assume (random scheme) 1.Sc5xe6? 2.Se6-d4# and 1.Sg5xe6! 2.Se6-f4#
Is that the *same* battery? (Same question arises with the checking unit!)

I cannot access the judge via Internet, but I will meet hom on Saturday (24th) and discuss with him your question. Similar question was asked by Boško Milošeski (via email).

My opinion:
- batteries created by 1.Sc5xe6 and 1.Sg5xe6 are not the same batteries;
- for king (or pawn) move along the battery line I also thought that it was not the same battery, but my second thought was "Why not?"; anyway, the judge's opinion will be decisive, so you have to wait until Sunday.

P.S.: Almiro Zarur already has three thematic phases with static king, so we cannot conclude if 1.Kf4 is thematic or only additional try ... Unfortinately :)

Explanations by the judge:
 
Q: Is it thematic if front piece moves along the battery line on the first move (try or key)
A:Yes. The battery is considered to be the same if front or even rear piece moves on the first move along the battery line, or if rear piece arrives to battery line on three different squares.
 
Q:Is it required that actual play is a thematic phase. For example, if there are three tries with changed threats from the same battery and the key establishes a block (zugzwang) position?
A:No, it is not required that actual play is a thematic phase. The form described as example is thematic.
 
P.S.: Second answer is re-phrased after the warning by Miodrag Mladenovic!

The answer to the second question is very confusing. The question was starting with "Is it required..." but answer is "Yes, it is thematic.". It's almost like answer is to the second part of the question that is describing details. So it looks like the real answer should be "No, it's not required." instead of "Yes, it is thematic.".

Thanks Misha. The confusing answer has been replaced by another.

Question.
I have two variants after Qxc7; unluckily, in the third
the captured object runs away and the defense is Qc7.
Should I add a bit of material to avoid?

@Hauke:
The question is not related to proposed theme. However, without the illustration there are three possible answers: "yes", "no" and/or "maybe" :)

The question is relevant as far as, if Qxc7 and Qc7 are considered
NOT to be the "same" move, of course no change in the sense of the
theme has happened. (Of course the question generally may apply to
any problems with changed mates.) For a somewhat related problem
(Re3 with R from different field) see a recent thread.

In any case, the answer is "I couldn't care less now" since
I already thrown out that ambiguity without loss :-)
