Protests, notes

date from text judge
26.11.09 Daniel Keith The Grin study is certainly (not probably) cooked.
Daniel corrected it, the white pawn on g2 or g3 is the stusy'soul.
Sorry, in the Czech version there is not the word "probably", but in English I have forgot to remove it. It will be corrected in the final text with the information about Daniel's correction of the Grin.
1.12.09 Jaroslav Polášek The Kok study is unsound because of 7...Kg7! It will be added in the final text, but it has no influence on ranking.
The Kok study was the most clear and methodic illustration of the fact, the part of combination is known.
Jaroslav self gives a Melnichenko's study as a source of inspiration.

I tried the first Prize in Deep Rybka 3.0
It seems that 5.Ke6 ! is a good move !!!!
1. Bb2+ Kd6 2. Ba3+ Kc6 3. Nxa8 Kb7 4. Bc5 Nc8 5. Ke6! Kxa8 6. Be3 Kb7 7. Kd7 Kb8 8. Bd4 Ka8 9. Kc7 Ne7 10. Bf6 Nf5 11. c5 Ne3 12. c6 Nd5+ 13. Kd8 Kb8 14.Be5+ Ka7 15. Kd7 Ka6 16. Bd4 Kb5 17. Kd6 Ne7 18. c7 Nf5+ 19. Kd7 Nxd4 20. c8=Q Kb4 21. Kd6 Nb5+ 22. Kd5 Nc3+ 23. Kd4 Nb5+ 24. Kd3 Ka4 25. Qa6+ Kb4 26. Qb6 Ka4
27. Kc4 Na3+ 28. Kc5 Nb5 29. Qxb5+ Ka3 30. Qb1 Ka4 31. Qa2#

The simplest way to draw in your analysis is
13...Nb4 14.c7 Nc6+ 15.Kd7 Na7 16.Bd4 Nc8!.
 
Rybka is not a big authority in endgames.

This is to inform you that, unfortunately, the first prize winner (Pospisil f7e5) already appeared as an original in Problem Forum no. 30, June 2007, as diagram no.76.

 
23.12.09 Jaroslav Pospíšil In 2006 I have been sent to Mr. Seidel 3 original studies for his column in Europa-Rochade, also Kf7-Ke5. 
Mr. Seidel published  in Europa-Rochade only one study (Kh6-Ka6) and he sent me the column with this study.
There was no other contact with Mr. Seidel. 
I have no info about publishing Kf7-Ke5.
I don’t know Problem-Forum.

Manfred Seidel died on February 28th 2008 on leukemia.
http://www.dieschwalbe.de/aktuelles/personalia/archiv/2008_230/2008_230.html
This explains some of the story.
Unfortunately the study has to be excluded.
The dying editor of Problem Forum probably could not finish his work.
