[Retros] News from Kiev

[afretro]

I sent the following message to the Retro Mailing List last night but apparently it wasn▓t received; hence I repeat it.

Dear Nicholas and all,
The records in the Dupont-Reytsen theme (the mate-delivering piece captures [one of] its stationary counterpart[s] in the course of the solution) have just been published in The Problemist of Ukraine, issue 4(10), 2006, pp. 40-43.

Today Ukrainian chess composers celebrate an unofficial Day of Chess Composition, proposed back in 2001 by IGM Rudenko. There are eight of us right now taking part in the festivity and greeting the Retro Corner community!
Best,
