- The judge of the tourney was the Russian GM Jakov Vladimirov. Havran submitted three moremovers, one today's and two others #9, #5 that were awarded 2nd and 3rd Prize, see Pravda, 22.10.1976 (the chess columns are available online on rubriky.net).

- A logical problem. The main plan 1. Rg8? 2. Rg5 3. Rxf5# (1.. Be4 2. Bxe4+ fxe4 3. Rg5#) still fails to 1.. Ra1! A foreplan 1. Rd8? Ba3 2. Rg8 fails to 1.. Ra6! So another foreplan is needed 1. Rb8 (2. Rxb5+ 3. Bc4#) a6 and now the second foreplan 2. Rd8 Ba3 finally the mainplan 3. Rg8 etc. Commendation.
Jozef Havran (* 2.6.1952 in Ružomberok) Slovak composer. "Jozef Havran composes direct mates and selfmates. He is the selfmate editor of the Slovak magazine Pat a Mat."
