- "Of all ridiculous things in the world what strikes me as the most ridiculous of all is being busy in the world, to be a man quick to his meals and quick to his work."
Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), Either-Or, pt 1, 1843.
A neat little problem showing changed mates and a pinning theme. In the set there are 1. cxd5, Nxd5 2. Rc7#, Bd6#, but something has to be prepared against 1.. gxf3. So the key is 1. Be3 giving the flight d6 and creating a NB-battery with the threat 2. Nf5# (which also follows on 1.. Kd6). Now on 1.. cxd5, Nxd5 (Schiffmann defenses) 2. Nxb5#, Nxc6# (changing the set mates). Further on 1.. Nxe4 again 2. Nxc6#. For more on pinning themes see the two articles by David Friedgood on en.chessbase, August 2 & 14, 2012.
