- "Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas,
Ease after war, death after life does greatly please."
Edmund Spenser (1552–1599) The Faerie Queene, I, 9, st. 40.
FIDE Album. Mutate: A mate is set for any black move, but there is no waiting move. The key 1. Ne4 creates zugzwang and changes the mate on 1.. Nh~ 2. Rf5# and it unpins the bB resulting in new mates by the NQ-battery on B-moves, when the wN blocks or captures the bB: 1.. Bg5, Bg1 (Bf2), Bc1 (Bd2) 2. Nxg5#, N(x)f2#, N(x)d2#. Further 1.. Bf4 2. gxf4# and on 1.. c2, Nd~ the set mates 2. Qa5#, Re6#. A very good mutate with a bouquet of new mates. Reprinted in "Problemskak" 2016.
