1. Prize: Ladislav Salai
jr. + Emil Klemanič (Slovakia)
Four model mates by different promotions with king
star, added is formal cycle of promoted piece and hurdle. Relatively simple
mechanism (different promotions from battery had already e. g. Y. Cheylan, but
of course without model mates), but I have to appreciate the first direct mate
in four years of Becherovka tourney!

2. Prize: Juraj Lörinc
(Slovakia)
Absolutely different kind of problem with two echo
mates using the Circe rules. This one was harder to compose, I think, but in the
first prize are promotions really essential part of the solution.

1. Honorable Mention:
Juraj Lörinc (Slovakia)
Triple echo with a little bit mechanical manoeuvres on
the a file, but I like three different moves to b5 with immobilisation of a
hurdle.

2. Honorable Mention:
Vlaicu Crisan + Eric Huber (Romania)
AUW in very economical position, but with using of
differents fairy conditions there were done already a lot of various AUW. The
good point is use of Circe in mating positions.
A 1.Kc6 d8nS+ 2.Kd7 exd8wQ (nSb8)#, B 1.Kh6
d8nR 2.nRf8+ exf8wB (nRh8)#.
1. Commend: Juraj Lörinc (Slovakia)
Three mates in two phases after black promotions. But
the change of defences is only formal and I would prefer more Anticirce
specific variation after Bishop promotion, although it causes some
constructional troubles.
