If I had posted as 2 questions then someone might come along later and say that Q1 is just a subset of Q2 and vote to close it. I don't think your solution is "spoiled" at all. It remains good and you have got a decent amount of reputation from it. I did point out in my initial post that there would be a second part. Bottom line: from a long term stackexchange perspective, it is better to have one post about Roberto's idea rather than two. | |

| Apr 18, 2018 at 2:10 | comment | added | Laska | @Glorfindel yes that's the solution. Clearly one might ask "but is a promoted pawn the same piece?" This is a question of semantics, and we don't want to spoil Roberto's excellent joke. Now I will post one of his problems. If you solve it, you definitely get the "tick mark" for correct answer. If someone else solves it, I'll have to decide if you get the tick mark or they do :-) | |
