Subject: Chessproblem with the new pieces

Modified by Caissus (12. August 2004, 14:36:47)

Okay something "on topic": Does anybody know or can compose a chessproblem with the new pieces?
But attention,in the literature the new pieces rook/knight and bishop/knight sometimes have other names as "chancellor" or "archbishop".
I am interested to see an othodox problem with a nice checkmate in x moves (but not from a played game!),an "helpmate" (Black moves and plays together with White with the goal to checkmate Black`s king)
or a "selfmate" (White moves and forces Black`s pieces to checkmate W`s king,although he don`t want).
I´m curious if anybody has to offer something!:-)
