- "Pin of a piece on a square adjacent to the king is also allowed [if the unpinned piece could defend the mate] even though that square is both blocked and guarded." Here here are two pin model mates (3. Nb6# and the Q-mate on d8 or e8 after 1.. Qxd7 2. Qh8+ Qd8, Qe8).

- Comment from Pravda: "Štyri modelové maty, z toho dva s väzbou Sa7." Here's the definition of a model mate according to Problemesis Thčmes: "In the model mate, all the pieces of the mating side, with the allowable exception of the King and the Pawns [!], take part, and each square of the mated side King field is either blocked, or guarded only once." So with the relaxed economy condition for Pawns, with 4 model mates (after 1.. d5, Qxd7, Qc8, bxa6), this problem qualifies as Bohemian.
