[Retros] Nunspeet 2003

[Joost de Heer]

During the traditional Composers Weekend in Nunspeet, organised by the Dutch Chess Composition Society, there were two retro elements: a solving competition and a composing tourney.

The result of the solving competition was:

7 compositions (5 proofgames, 1 orthodox retro, and one fairy proofgame, to be solved in 2h time, extra points could be won by guessing the authors)

1. Michel Caillaud           36.5
2. Dolf Wissmann             26
3. Joost de Heer             25.5
4. Dirk Borst                21
5. Johan de Boer             20
6. Koen Versmissen           16
7. Peter Bakker              15.5

The theme of the composing tourney was: A proofgame with a fairy condition, which results in a position which is an illegal position if regarded orthodox.

The result was:
