4. pochvalná zmienka 843 (53 PaM 107, Jaroslav Štúň): Two good solutions, with excellent use of the fairy condition. The bP under-promotes in both solutions, while the wP gives mate (in(b) as a promoted queen). In (b) the bK returns to e6, and both mating moves feature a rebirth. However the best feature is the row of 3 grasshoppers, horizontally in (a) and vertically in (b).
