123cro 01-Oct-12, 04:17 » Report abuse	contradiction with common sense none is supposed to think of the right way at start of the deal
nonkowtower 01-Oct-12, 08:14 » Report abuse	pawn promotion the poor pawn finally gets promoted to the highly coveted royal family only the royal family would rather have a royal pet than a new concubine.
phonybenoni 01-Oct-12, 09:08 » Report abuse	If puzzles didn't contradict common sense, they wouldn't be puzzles.
yadasampati 01-Oct-12, 11:36 » Report abuse	looks impossible ... ... but i solved it. Beautiful puzzle!
yadasampati 01-Oct-12, 12:21 » Report abuse	@nonkowtower nice literary way of putting it pure poetry!
puzzler77 01-Oct-12, 13:50 » Report abuse	#11679 Curious why this instance of the puzzle was used instead of #244. I wonder how many other duplicates are out there. The programmers have developed a routine that checks for duplicates but that feature must have come after this puzzle was created.
yadasampati 01-Oct-12, 14:17 » Report abuse	@puzzler The routine probably compares initial positions. In puzzle #244 there is no pawn on h4.
puzzler77 01-Oct-12, 15:04 » Report abuse	ahh I did not notice that! Thanks yadasampati
yadasampati 02-Oct-12, 08:34 » Report abuse	I did not notice it either ... ... until you came up with your point
kingdawar 02-Oct-12, 08:36 » Report abuse	In terms of problem chess this pawn on h4 really is a travesty (I know by now, nobody else on GK can be bothered much by it )
puzzler77 02-Oct-12, 13:53 » Report abuse	Incidentals Now I know what you mean by an unlimited number of variations of any given puzzle. I like puzzle #244 better as all it has are the bare necessities!
