"All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?"

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) "Critique of Pure Reason" (1787).

2nd Commendation and 13th Place in the Polish Championship 1974-1976. A twin problem with b) Move f5 h4. The keys are suitable captures on d4. In a) not 1. Bxd4? Qh8! but 1. Nxd4 (2. Nf6#) Rxb3, Qxb3 2. Nf3#, Nc2#, further 1.. Qh4 (Qh8), c4, cxd4 2. Nc2#, bxc4#, Qxd4#. In b) not 1. Nxd4? Rxf4! but 1. Bxd4 (2. Nf6#) Rxb3, Qxb3 2. Be3#, Bxb2# changed mates, further 1.. Rxf4, cxd4 2. Nxf4#, Qxd4#. The keys create a battery that is contolled by bQ and bR. When one of them self-pins itself by capturing a white unit White can mate by shutting off the other black piece (Mansfield theme).
