[Retros] More Dupont-"originals"

Dear Bernd,

You’re right, I didn't suggest marking France-Echecs as the original
source of my problems. Indeed I would have preferred the "magazine
source". I don't know who made that choice, what can I say is that
WinChloe indicates France-Echecs as the original source, so maybe a
Fide redactor followed it.

My aim while using pre-publications in France-Echecs wasn't to protect
the problems (although I can understand this suspicion). You know
France-Echecs is a kind of laboratory, at one moment is coming the
right version, nobody can share news ideas to improve it, and thus it
is time for a "true" publication.

But I confess I was probably a bit naive, btw Michel Caillaud, among
others, tells me this practice was border-line, and I left it (perhaps
not entirely in the next Fide Album but for sure in the 2010-2012 one).

Best wishes,

Nicolas.
