About Me
David Bronstein (1924-2006)
The quality of a game lays in how much originality, fighting spirit, beauty the player brings - not technique.... In a real chess game you should be in danger all the time, full of uncertainty, guessing the best move - that is the highest spirit of chess. Fight to the last move. All my games ended in zeitnot, I didn’t complain.
from an interview by IM Anthony Saidy on the USCF website.

HINT: night be quiet
Jordan here, what year was this published and where?
The problem was first published (online) at Chess in Manitoba in 2001. It is an original composition by Zoltan Bodnar.
I have another composition from Zoltan for this blog. It is a very special help double stalemate that Exclam! online readers will, I think, be very impressed with.

The solution is 1. hg8=N Kd8 2. Rd6#.
Underpromotion is underrated. This was an interesting theme for a problem in light of a recent game in Manitoba chess. In that game, the side with the material advantage failed to underpromote for the win and had to settle for a draw instead.
Nigel,
Which game missed the underpromote ?
Maybe you should show it.
As for fairy chess, real chess is hard enough.
OK, I will create a new post with the game in question. It actually has a completely new motif (to me) with a "furious queen" acting like a "furious rook" and forcing the draw. That's a rather unexpected use of the queen!
