18/10/2017 – Nuestro autor Siegfried Hornecker quiere resolver un enigma y necesita ayuda.

Como eso no está permitido por la reglas del ajedrez, tienen que coronarlo y luego mover la dama o torre a la casilla que el peón no podía ocupar. Ideas destacadas y sorprendentes estudios...
04/01/2017 – A propuesta de dos amigos creadores de problemas de ajedrez, John Nunn y Yochanan Afek, damos comienzo a una columna mensual para mostrar la belleza artística de los estudios de ajedrez. Se trata de un género en el que los autores pueden enseñar la belleza de las estructuras e ideas que casi nunca suelen ocurrir en los torneos de ajedrez. Hemos aceptado con mucho gusto la oferta del compositor alemán de problemas de ajedrez, Siegfried Hornecker. Para disfrutar...
