Dear retro-friends,

Let me exhibit my recent problem, provocative by intention, which is
based on the treatment of the 50-moves rule by the current Codex for
Chess Composition.

#101 AP (pRA) Current Codex 10+9

AP after Keym (admitting AP-justified partial solutions along with
formal, maybe short, ones).

By the Piran Codex, the solution would be fifty moves shorter.
