Subject: Problem expansion

Message:
I realize that most sites have limited resources but I recently have come to believe that problems resulting in the attainment of a winning edge (material, time, position, or some combination thereof) are really as important and exciting (indeed, sometimes more so) than many mating problems. Accordingly, I would truly like to see problems of that nature on this site.

Regards, ThroneSeeker

On the long run...

Message:
...I would say yes!! Do it. Then we can ask for selfmates, helpmates, retrograde analysis problems, fairy problems, and standard tactical problems, i.e. winning a piece.

But let them first make this application better. It's not perfect yet.

Agreement

Message:
I agree with you, heinzkat. As you know I am certainly far from perfect myself and I seem to be losing more my of my analytical abilities each passing day. I guess that is to be expected (we grow older daily) and the doctors warned me that I would not be as sharp after my accident as I once was and my thinking might deteriorate (this part is happening faster than I would like). But still .......
