Dear retro friends,

Eight problems to which the stipulation is:
"Last move? Duplex."

First, one of the three remaining unsolved cases is closed:

(Buchanan)

The remaining two cases are QxR & QxQ. QxR should be doable, but I think QxQ
is quite a challenge.

Second, seven incremental improvements to existing records:

Also: to let you know, my PxR=Q was cooked by Andrey Frolkin. I have
submitted a fixed version to Hans Gruber for feenschach, so is not included
here.

All the best,
Andrew.
