Crooks and impostors from a non-existent federation of mini onanists...

I think this is a big and unpleasant surprise for the WFCC Presidential Council. Although the WFCC elections are in November.
Volgograd miniaturists no longer know what to call themselves to make it sound louder. Soon we will see the signature of the United Nations.

No a joke, but a reality. The album of the best chess compositions of miniatures by authors for 2016-2018 was published by the Federation in 2020.
We received 911 problems from 94 authors from 18 countries: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, USA.

Per Olin
And who should have agreed on the regulations? The governor of island Borneo? :))) The Presidential Council of the Federation prolonged its powers in September 2021. There have been no suggestions to include new members in the Council, so we are working in the same structure.

What is the problem? Who wants - participates, who does not want - no.

I think it's very terrible misprint and it really must means "Presidential Soviet of the FCCM (Federation Chess Composition Miniature)"

This is not a “very terrible misprint”, but much worse. Freudian reservation!

So how does this interact with the regular Album? Are FIDE Album judges still as interested in published miniatures or are miniatures now going to be sidelined to this new initiative?

I must say that I don't see the point of working on orthodox miniatures at this stage.
Of course I'm not claiming that everything's been done - there are certainly gems out there still waiting to be found - but nowadays the possibilities of coming up with something both interesting and original are very small.
And also with the appearance of tablebases, enabling the mining of positions, the idea of 'composing' miniatures has become pretty much obsolete.
It's curious that the one place with plenty of room for original work in miniatures, fairy chess, is omitted from this project.

I think the miniature unofficial federation has done everything so that now there are no miniatures in the normal FIDE Album. Each judge of the FIDE Album will think that the miniatures have a place in another album.

And there is an entirely separate system for collecting miniature master points towards miniature titles. There is no relationship between them so if you get halfway to miniatures master and halfway to non-miniature master, you receive nothing, yes?

The Judgement of Solomon is a story from the Hebrew Bible in which Solomon ruled between two women both claiming to be the mother of a child. Solomon revealed their true feelings and relationship to the child by suggesting the baby be cut in two, each woman to receive half. With this strategy, he was able to discern the non-mother as the woman who entirely approved of this proposal, while the actual mother begged that the sword might be sheathed and the child committed to the care of her rival. Some consider this approach to justice an archetypal example of an impartial judge displaying wisdom in making a ruling.

OK, so how do you hack a miniature in two, d/e or 4/5? :-)

Hauke, who doesn't even know what's all the commotion.

1) Miniature genre is very popular among juniors. Our federation has already conducted 17 Internet tournaments "Wise King" among juniors to solve miniature compositions.
Tables of juniors up to 13 years: http://www.efrosinin.ru/aa/FCCM/Tabl13.xls
Compositions of the tournament on December 7, 2021 for juniors up to 13 years: http://www.efrosinin.ru/aa/FCCM/MK-17/z13.doc ,
Solutions: http://www.efrosinin.ru/aa/FCCM/MK-17/r13.doc
See the results of the other tournaments on the website: http://www.efrosinin.ru/
The Album of miniatures 2016-2018 of our federation was bought by many parents of juniors. According to the trainers, it is ORTHODOX miniatures, first of all studies, that teach children the tactics and strategy of chess, lift the class of the game.
Which studies are the most popular? With a beautiful game! You can watch an example of such studies in the film about the championship of the Southern Federal District of Russia in solving compositions among juniors. The studies are shown from time 5.22.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxGq79YtQ4M
The next Internet tournament "Wise King" for juniors starts on February 20 at 10 o'clock (CET) or 12 o'clock (Moscow time). I invite juniors from all countries to participate: http://www.efrosinin.ru/ The regulations can be read using an Internet translator. Norm s have been set to analyzed the result of juniors.
2) When they say that our federation is unofficial, the following should be taken into account. The individual and team chess composition competitions conduct by the WFCC are also unofficial in Russia. The Ministry of Sports does not accept them, as well as international titles and ratings on composition. The Russian Chess Federation has an official status. But, for 20 years now, the Ministry of Sports has not recognize personal and team competitions for composing chess compositions in Russia. Composition competitions among juniors also do not have an official status. Therefore, if we register in Russia, we will also not be able to officially conduct competitions with the sports standards. What is important for us is not a piece of paper from an official, but the real development of chess composition.
3) Watched "Album FIDE" 2010-2012. In the total volume of miniature compositions - 4%. If you see a good miniature, why should you think that it will be included in another Album? In my view, only one arbiter in the world who wrote it here can think that method.
4) Hauke Reddmann: «Hauke, who doesn't even know what's all the commotion».
Even the heroes of the popular Soviet film "The Diamond Hand" (1968) do not know this. An approximate :))) translation of what they say: " Chief! Everything is lost! A Federation of Miniature Chess composition has been created! I will kill them!" A short excerpt from the film:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTMzK306-j4
5) And another fragment from the Soviet film about Baron Munchausen. Translation: "I understand what your problem is. You are too serious. A smart face is not yet a sign of intelligence, gentlemen. All the stupid things on Earth are done with this facial expression. Smile, gentlemen! Smile!".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INETsmBBZMY
6) And, in order not to end this text on a sad note, listen to a small concert that I prepared for the International Chess Composition Day and published on my website. After all, as you know, musical and chess compositions are kinsfolk.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJAwAYwOies&list=PLpOqNtGHPGzD12_dcxmc4ionPFTna_djz

Copy the link and upload it to YouTube.
There are 25 musical numbers and already about 1000 views. Advertising, where possible (the lower right corner of the screen) – skip. In the finale, the Russian cat talks to his hostess (there is an English translation). :)))

A frog inflates hubris in a swamp. Not being on the chessboard Efrosinin (he has been engaged in chess problems all his life and at the age of 65 is not even a FIDE master, so he is a complete mediocrity!), like the hero of satirical novels, a fraudster and "grandmaster" Ostap Bender, after the collapse of his career decided to retrain as a house manager - to issue orders, assign titles, etc., in order to become significant according to Freud at least in this capacity, in fact being a nobody. To do this, he and the "student Ivanopulo" (the shadow "hero" of the mentioned satirical novels) needed a non-existent federation of mini onanists.

Appeal to the administrator, this is not really acceptable, at least for me the previous reply is clear personal attack not worthy of the place on the board.

A vile lie is the handwriting of the mini-federation and its main propagandist. The WFCC is recognized by FIDE. In Russia, following the results of the European and World Solving Championships, of the WFCC, the Ministry of Sports of Russia awarded the title of the "Grandmasters of Russia in Chess" to Danila Pavlov and Alexey Popov.
The propagandist himself likes to present himself as an international judge, a title he received from the WFCC.
And with the pieces of paper issued by the miniature federation, you can make wallpaper in the toilets.Children have the illusion of success in solving competitions, for parents are "hung up on their ears." Home tournaments for children form cheaters who cannot succeed in ofline competitions. Moreover, helpmates and selfmates, which are included in the program of the world championships by decision, are ignored. And there is propaganda that these genres interfere with young chess players. But they confuse chess and chess composition.
Гнусная ложь - это почерк мини-федерации и ее главного пропагандиста. WFCC признан ФИДЕ. В России по итогам чемпионатов Европы и мира по решению, которое организует WFCC, Министерство спорта России присвоило звание гроссмейстеров России по шахматам Даниле Павлову и Алексею Попову. Сам пропагандист любит представлять себя международным судьей - это звание, которое он получил от WFCC. А с помощью бумажек, выданных федерацией миниатюр, можно оформить обои в туалетах.У детей возникает иллюзия успеха в соревнованиях по решению, родителям "вешают лапшу на уши". Домашние турниры для детей развивают читерство, и победители домашних турниров не могут добиться успеха в очных соревнованиях. Более того, кооперативные и обратные маты, которые включены в программу чемпионатов мира по составлению и решению, миниатюрной федерацией игнорируются. Ведется пропаганда, что эти жанры мешают молодым шахматистам. Но они путают шахматы и шахматную композицию.

Miniatures are a wonderful form of chess problems.
But do not idealize the work of those who have created a paper federation for themselves.
