    The 5Th Belgrade Chess Problems Festival Report by Milan Velimirović the Fifth Successive Festival Took Place from 2Nd to 4Th of May 2008

    Mat Plus Review Summer 2008 The 5th Belgrade Chess Problems Festival Report by Milan Velimirović The fifth successive Festival took place from 2nd to 4th of May 2008. As usual a good number of guests from abroad were welcomed: Dinu-Ioan Nicula (ROM), Aleksander Leontyev (RUS), Andrey Selivanov (RUS), Eric Huber (ROM), Fadil Abdurahmanović (BIH), Iļja Ketris (LAT), Ivan Denkovski (MAK), Kostas Prentos (GRE), Michal Dragoun (CZE), Piotr Murdzia (POL), Valery Kopyl with his lovely daughter Valeria (UKR) and Živko Janevski (MAK). You may have noticed the exception from the alphabetical order of that list, but there is a good reason for it: Dinu-Ioan Nicula is the only foreign composer who has attended all five Festivals, and if he comes again next year the organizers could consider the idea of promoting him into an honorary participant. Anyway, all guests have been treated by the home team in a traditionally warm and friendly way. For the record, the participants from Serbia were: Bogoljub Trifunović, Borislav Gađanski, Borislav Ilinčić, Božidar Brujić, Božidar Šoškić, Branislav Đurašević, Darko Šaljić, Dragoljub Đokić, Goran Janković, Goran M. Todorović, Goran Škare, Igor Spirić, Joza Tucakov, Marjan Kovačević, Mihajlo Milanović, Milan Velimirović, Miodrag Radomirović, Mirko Miljanić, Nikola Miljaković, Nikola Petković, Petar Opening speech: Milan Milićević, president Šoškić, Radomir Mićunović, Slobodan of Chess club “Beograd Beopublikum”, Šaletić, Stevan B.

Black is in stalemate. C. White has a mate in 1. The types of problems presented in this column have appeared before on The Puzzling Side of Chess. If you are unfamiliar with them, examples with more detailed explanations are available in the archives. The holiday season means lots of travelling from point A to point B. And sometimes a late trip home. Take care. Take a cab.

(eight white, seven black) The two sides alternate moves in the usual way. Position B should be reached after White’s eighth turn. The next problem, a miniature helpmate by Italian FM Andrea Malfagia, is from the 2014 Chess Cafe Puzzlers Cup. (See column 75.) It didn’t win a prize, but it was my personal favourite.
