M. Zinar & S. Diduh
EG 2009
 (= 9+7 )

I just saw this nice endgame at our daily newspaper "Politika". It's taken from EG. It's a great endgame showing six promotions to wS. There was no solution but I think that I correctly solved it:
1.d8S Rxd8 2.exd8S Rxd8 3.cxd8S Sc6 4.e7 Sxd8
5.exd8S Kg3 6.e6 Bxb6 7.e7 Bxd8 8.exd8S Kh3
9.d7 Kg3 10.Sc6 Bxb7 11.d8S Ba8 12.Sb7 Bxb7=
Usually tasks are not so nice but in this case the last white move is outstanding.

In the same issue of EG (January 2009):
 (= 8+5 )
Hornecker & Didukh
Black to move, white draws
1...b1Q 2.Be4 Qxe4 3.f8S+ Bxf8 4.Rxe4 Rxe4 5.g7 Bf5+ 6.Kh8! Rh4+ 7.Kg8 Bxg7 8.fxg7 Rg4 9.Kh8 Kf7 10.Bg5! Rxg5 11.d8S+ Kf6 12.g8S+ Ke5 13.Sf7+ draws. The ending was shown in Gurgenidze JT before, but with my 10.Bg5 and Sergiy's other moves before this is a completely new study.
Did it ever happen before that someone had nine underpromotions to knight in a single originals column? I doubt so.

An article about this task planned for Mat Plus Review (Spring-Summer 2009) never arrived. The fact is that there is some history of the idea, and here are all fallen heroes whose blood, sweet and tears contributed to the realization of the record [dump from Harold van der Heijden's endgame base (hhdbIIIa.pgn)]:
