symmetrical can be excellent


I would like to show a wonderful symmetrical problem.
Two systems of black correction launch a double masked black half-pin.
I very like it.

Yes, I agre with You and this is wonderful problem.
In chess problems, harmony is all about analogy. I dont know why is symmetry, as "geometrical analogy" considered as a flaw, only becouse of hers visual character.

Because symmetry may be boring: almost by definition,
symmetry doesn't show anything new. In this case, of course,
*the complete* variants show a cycle and thus, something
additional is generated.

Symmetry by itself is boring and uninteresting. Why then do we feel something totally different here?
My explanation goes like this:
The two symmetrical parts actually complement each other to create a far from trivial 4-fold cycle. Consequently, what might have remained two disconnected, tedious parts is actually converted into a wonderful whole. The surprise created by the gap between expectation and actuality has its own special value as a paradox.
Vive la petite différence!
