- "Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind. The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their unison can knowledge arise."
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) "Critique of Pure Reason" (1781, 1787).
The immediate try keys 1. exd7?, f8Q?, f8N? fail to 1.. Bd5!, Nxe6!, Bxe6! Thus first 1. Re8 (2. exd7+ 3. Nc6#) and now on 1.. Bd5, Nxe6, Bxe6 2. f8Q, f8Q, f8N and on 1.. Qa4 2. Qxc5+ On 1.. Nxe6, Bxe6 follow the promotions that were refuted by these moves in the tries, the twomover Vladimirov theme transferred to a threemover. A hint for the solver is that wRh8 is out of play and should be activated.
Вikтор Олекса́ндрович Мельниче́нко (* 5.8.1939 in Nikolaevka, † 11.2.2009 in Kotovsk) Ukrainian composer and International Master. See wikipedia lv, ru, uk. "Viktor Melnichenko published his first problem in 1957 and was a direct mate composer. He was also an International Judge, several times champion of Ukraine and once champion of the USSR. He also wrote several books about chess composition."
Валентин Федорович Руденко (* 19.2.1938 in Yenakiieve, † 2.4.2016) Ukrainian composer and Super-Grandmaster, see wikipedia de, fr, it, lv, ru, uk. "The late Valentin Fedorovich Rudenko was a world-famous composer (no. 4 in the FIDE-Album top of composers with more than 200 points) considered by some as the best orthodox problem composer. He was also the author of one of the best chess problem composition books ever written "Преследование темы.— Москва, 1983." He proposed the date of January 4th as International Day of Chess Composition. His problems reached space levels when his threemover of Suomen Shakki 1957, 1st prize, was aboard the mission SOYUZ 9 (it is now on display in a museum in Cheboksary)." By profession he was a leading engineer in the Soviet (and later Russian) space program.
