- Comment by the Judge Karol Mlynka (1944-2022) in "The Final Award of the 11th international composing problem tourney – twomovers: Hlas ľudu – 1979": "Pri zámene matov a témy sa antiduálovo ladená poloväzba mení na "samoväzbu", čo autor oprávnene a vydarene zdôrazňuje prostredníctvom dvojníkovej pozície, ktorá v žiadnom prípade nie je nadbytočná, lež skôr nevyhnutná.“ He stresses the dual avoidance of the keys in a) and b) and of the mates in b). The 1st Prize was awarded to a problem of Rudenko and Shedey that was later selected for the FIDE Album.

- "Earthlings had to figure it all out for themselves. Slowly, agonizingly, humans learned how the universe worked, abandoning most of the fanciful beliefs they carried through their long, dark loneliness."
David Brin (* 1950) "Brightness Reef," 1995.
Published in "Hlas ľudu" 3rd Commendation. This is a twin problem with b) Ra6->b6. Shown are black self-pins with changed mates after captures of wNc4 which threatens mate. In a) not 1. Rd3? Bxa5! but 1. Qa4 (2. Nd6# by double check) Qxc4, Nxc4 2. Bd5#, Re1#. In b) not 1. Qa4? Rb4! but 1. Rd3 (2. Nd2#) Qxc4, Nxc4 2. Rxg4#, Bg6#. Original comments from Hlas ľudu: "Zámena matov spojená s peknou väzbou čiernych figúr (M. Bednár, Kurima). Bohato motivované zámeny dvoch matov (L. Salai sr., Martin). Krásna, strategický bohato naplnená zámena dvoch matov (I. Kiss, Kežmarok)."
Вениамин Ачимов, Russian composer.
