Pressburger King
A Collection of Fairy Chess Problems
Edition 2

Introduction
The fairy piece Pressburger King (Super-Transmuting King) was created 1998 in Bratislava where is
also derived its name. (It should be noted that Pressburg was in fact the original German name of the
Slovak capital Bratislava.)
For the first time was Pressburger King presented at the jubilee tournament “Juro Brabec 60“ where
this new fairy element was by the judge accepted too hesitantly and skeptically. Over the time, he
organized two major specialized thematic tournaments with Pressburger King, namely 6th TT Pat a
mat 2007/2008 and 30 days TT Marianka Cup 2014.
There are already about 450 problems with this fairy piece, although programmed as a condition
(White SuperTransmutingKing or BlackSuperTransmutingKing). In many cases it is sufficient to reach,
mostly new strategic content with only one fairy piece on the board – and just one Pressburger King
as “One-man-show“ actor alias Rex posoniensis solus. (Posonium was the Latin name of Bratislava).
The collection consists of three parts. In Part 1 were included twomovers (mates, stalemates and
checks), threemovers, moremovers and fairy studies. In Part 2 are collected helpmates and help-
stalemates but also selfmates and reflexmates (as a curiosity Hyper-Transmuting King). Part 3
contains seriesmovers and parry seriesmover problems, in addition helpself(stale)mates or
helpreflex(stale)mates and finally problems with anti-Supertransmuting King (Anti-Pressburger King).
The most erudite article was published in the French chess magazine PHENIX (Mlynka, K.: Le Roi
supertransmuté; Phénix – no. 118, 11. 2008, p. 7689-7703; see also other sources!). The very
definition of Pressburger King sparked disagreement various experts, especially the problem with
imitator in 670 Julia´s Fairies 20.12.2014 (about 35 responses).
One of the first definitions of that time new fairy piece was: ”Pressburger King (Super Transmuting
King) = King which definitively takes up the nature of the checking piece (and thus loses his royal
status).” The development has shown the need to clarify the definition so that immediately after the
checking had to move the Pressburger King and not another piece, which some experts still regarded
as illogical. In our case, after been checked the King lost its royal status and became a checked piece.
Therefore, the definition stabilized by Juraj Lörinc as follows: ”After being checked, the Super-
transmuting King must immediately move like the checking piece and then losing its royal status
definitively takes up its nature. When no such move is available, the ST-King side parries the check
normally. If the checked King cannot move, it is a mate.”
I would like to thank all the programmers of Popeye whose programs gave rise to many interesting
chess compositions and allowed so enrich the current fairy chess production. My cordial thanks go
also to all those who have contributed to this collection as well as those who provided any help on
the publication, mainly to Václav Kotěšovec from Prague.

Pressburger King
Rex Posoniensis – Pressburger König – Roi Presbourgeois

(WhiteSuperTransmutingKing or BlackSuperTransmutingKing)
Pressburger King (SuperTransmutingKing) = After being checked, the Super-transmuting King must
immediately move like the checking unit and then losing its royal status definitively takes up its
nature. When no such move is available, the ST-King side parries the check normally. If the checked
King cannot move, it is a mate.
Pressburger König (Super-Transmutierender König) zieht wie ein normaler König, übernimmt aber
beim ersten Schach durch einen gegnerischen Stein dessen Gangart, die er für immer beibehält.
Gleichzeitig verliert er seine königliche Eigenschaft und muss sofort ziehen. Kann der König nach dem
Schachgebot nicht mehr ziehen, ist es ein Matt.
Roi Super-Transmuté (Roi presbourgeois): Roi qui, lorsquíl est en échec, prend le pouvoir de la pièce
qui lui donne échec, et le garde une fois que l´échec est paré. Il perd alors son statut Royal et le camp
qui le possède ná alors plus de pièce Royale.
Re super tramutato (Re di Pressburg): Il Re supertramutato muove come il pezzo che gli dà scacco;
dal momento in cui effettua una tal mossa, acquista per sempre il nuovo potere, ma perde quelli
reali.
Super Transmuting King (Пресcбургский король): После шаха становится шахующей фигурой,
теряя свои королевские функции.
Bratislava in German: Preßburg (16th century), Pressburg (1786), in 20th century Preßburg;
according to the new German spelling since 1998: Pressburg.

attacked by opposite side.“ (J. Lörinc)

possible moves, there are three different refutations by promotions. Knight one is the only
check possible, rook one as well, although the queen promotions is ruled out by selfcheck
just like in the set. Finally, queen promotion refutation is a correction of the rook promo-
tion. The key is the most interesting move as it allows three defences, although two are
very similar. The means used are very exotic.“ (Juraj Lörinc)

Altogether there was 19 compositions competing, by 11 composers from 6 countries. The theme was set to at
least two model mates while using any kinds of fairy pieces. The level of works was rather average. It shows
that this area of fairy chess still remains peripheral as regards composing interest, so that the present compe-
tition could by an inspiration. A lof can be discovered by using interesting fairy pieces! (J. Jelínek / J. Lörinc)

“Difficult new-strategical theme and rich use of supertransmuting king properties. Elegant mechanism starring
single fairy element - supertransmuting king. He enters in the first move one of three thematic squares (f3, f5,
e3) as king, but then in the second move other thematic square in the shape of normal piece after its mutation
and loses of royal privileges. He delivers the final blow and mates the black king. Cyclic change of three white
moves in the function of key and checkmate after different defences. Moreover transformation of white
supertransmuting king to all pieces including pawn. Decent presentation of the piece originated sixteen years
ago in Bratislava.“ (Judge: J. Brabec)

Response: ”Nice mechanism to cyclically give the WK different hopping powers (G, Lion, Pao) by the same Black
moves, based on the WK position on c4/d4/e4. Bonus change after 1..g3+. But presence of non-thematic Black
moves leading to duplication of White thematic checks detracts a little.” (Shankar Ram)

„Spelet idé är alltså att svart (efter bondeförvandling och kamäleontförvand-

schackande pjäsen till ett fält där den med sin kamäleontförvandlade natur
hotar kLS på f7. (Vits första drag placerar vK bättre eller bereder plats ge-
nom att flytta bort en B.) Därmed är det redan matt, eftersom löparsyrsan
bara kan göra diagonala gräshoppsdrag till något tomt fält – och det stå̊̊̊r
alltid vita pjäser både på d5 och c4. Givetvis inleds spelet med allförvand-
ling,eftersom det är de enda fyra drag svart har att välja på i diagrammet.

”The Pressburger King becomes three times a Double Grasshopper and
gives mate by double check using the black DGs as hurdles. This problem
proves that fact as well, lines of activity abound and white Pressburger
King mates using doublechecks, avoiding possibility of Black to remove
hurdles. Well-balanced advertisement piece too.” (J. Lörinc)

“670 (Mlynka) The rules of Pressburg (Supertransmuting) kings have long been imprecise, but this year’s
discussions have led to the conclusion that a check on a Pressburg king must always be parried by the king
himself (who then loses his royal status). This implies that part a) of this problem is OK (Black cannot play
4…Rg7), but part d) has no solution (Black cannot play 4…Rf3). Otherwise, the problem is quite interesting: it is
normally impossible to mate a Pressburg king or to force him to make a particular move, as it doesn’t help to
guard his flight squares, but imitators can limit his move possibilities so that no move or just a single move is
legal. Perhaps it would be worth it to keep parts a)-c) as a sound 3/4 AUW?“: Judge: Kjell Widlert

As far as I know Super-Transmuting King has to respond to check by moving. It is not allowed to ignore the
check (even if it loses royal status) or defend it by moving any other piece. This is one of the reasons I do not
like this fairy element.

 Four different promotions in a Tanagra.
Roi transmuté : Roi qui, lorsqu'il est menacé, ne se déplace que comme la ou les pièces qui
la menacent. Roi super-transmuté (= SuperTransmutingKing) : Roi transmuté qui conserve
indéfiniment les pouvoirs obtenus lorsqu'il a été mis en échec et perd son caractère royal.
Locuste : Elle se déplace comme une Sauterelle, mais par-dessus une pièce adverse qui est
alors capturée, et ceci à condition que la case d’arrivée soit vide. Une Locuste ne peut donc
jouer qu’en prenant. Royale (Pièce -) : Elle provient du transfert du rôle du Roi à une pièce
quelconque, qui garde ses facultés propres de déplacement et de prise. Une pièce royale
doit donc parer tout «échec», c’est-à-dire se soustraire au contrôle d’une pièce ennemie
(dans l’impossibilité de le faire, cette pièce est «mat»). Un Pion royal promotionne en pièce
royale. (http://www.problemiste.fr/2014-375-solution/4434225; Alain Biénabe)

So with this addition to the rules, the problem must be sound. But like Georgy, I don’t very much like such “illogical” rules: it
should be legal to parry a check by any possible move that stops the capture of the king. (Another strange consequence of the
supertransmuting rules is that there can be at most one check (from each side) in each line, including the mate; for after that,
there are no more kings on the board. Unless you start with several kings on the board, that is.)

I’m not confused at all, as I just want to understand which rules Popeye is using (if some), and not to claim that
those rules are the true ones which define ST Kings! And my above suggestion (priority to a move by the
checked ST King) seems to fully explain each examples – Karol’s problem, my 2 schemes and yours.

Unlike you I am confused. You simply do not know what is going on and are trying to figure it all out.
If I was an Editor I would say to an Author: Dear Author, I cannot publish your problem giving solutions that do
not follow the Definition I use. It is ridiculous to do so. So please let me have your Definition or the Definition
your program uses. I will then publish your problem. [I am not forcing you to use my Definition]. Thank you.
[Whether major magazines would agree to alter a generally accepted Definition to that used by Popeye is
another matter. They may ask Popeye to rewrite its program].

For me is supertransmuting king elusive as well – and I do live in Bratislava. However, the Marianka Cup 2014 was
dedicated to supertransmuting king and there was a considerable effort by inventor Karol Mlynka and judge Juraj
Brabec to clarify any confusion. The English translation of the award is available in the Marianka bulletin starting from
page 91. It includes some theoretical discussion of supertransmuting king properties as well. (With enough time, see
also the rest of the bulletin, there is a lot of interesting material there.)

“Fairy chess is a generic term which was introduced before the First World War to cover all problems
which are not directmates. Over time, as selfmates and helpmates grew in popularity they became
classed as orthodox, so nowadays the term fairy chess covers problems which contain one or more
unorthodox features, usually a piece or condition, less frequently an unorthodox board.“

Definitions
Fairy pieces
 Pressburger King (SuperTransmutingKing): after being checked, the Supertransmuting King must
immediately move like the checking piece and then losing its royal status definitively takes up its
nature. When no such move is available, the ST King side parries the check normally. If the checked
King cannot move, it is a mate.
 Anti-Pressburger King (Anti-Supertransmuting King) takes definitively the nature of the non-checking
unite, losing its royal nature and can be captured. After being checking, the King is normally.
 Ultra-Pressburger King (Ultra-SupertransmutingKing) takes definitively the nature of the checking or
non-checking unite, losing its royal nature and can be captured.
 HyperTransmutingKing (HTK): combination of doublecheck pieces, e.g. Q+S = AM (amazon) etc.
 Transmuted King (Vaulting King): a King in check moves only in the manner of the checking piece.
When not in check, such a King moves normally. (An orthodox king which, when in check, moves like the
checking unit).
 Anti-Transmuted King: when not in check, takes the power of the unchecked unit in place of its own;
when in check, moves orthodoxly.
 Royal piece (rX): piece that executes a function of the King on the board.
 Royal Marguerite (rMG): piece moving like a Queen until it reaches a hurdle. Then it makes a „King“
move.
 Neutral piece (nX): a unit with this characteristic may be regarded as of either colour by the side whose
244 tis244t is to play. Neutral pawns promote to neutral pieces.
 Chameleon (cX): at the completion of every move, a unit with this characteristic changes type. The
types form a cycle which may theoretically be predefined in any way but is usually taken to be the
default option S-B-R-Q-S... Promotion may be to a chameleon at any stage in the cycle.
 1,5-leaper (15): a (1,5/5,1)-leaper. / 2,4-leaper (24): a (2,4/4,2)-leaper. / 2,5-leaper (25): a (2,5/5,2)-
leaper. / 3,5-leaper (35): a (3,5/5,3)-leaper.
 Alfil: (2,2/2,2) leaper.
 Fiveleaper (BU): moves directly to any square at a distance of (0,5/5,0) or (3,4/4,3). A Bua1 guards a6,
d5, e4 and f1.
 Amazon (AM): can move like the Queen and like the Knight.
 Berolina Pawn (BP): moves diagonally, captures straight ahead and promotes normally.
 BerolinaSuperPawn (BS): behaves as a Berolina P except that (when moving or capturing) it may go as
far as desired along the usual lines, provided that they are clear.
 Grasshopper (G): moves along queen-lines, but must hop over another piece of either colour and land on
the next square beyond.
 Bishopper (BH) / Rookhopper (RH) / Nightriderhopper (NH): a Grasshopper confined to B/ R/ N-lines.
 Double-Grasshopper (DG): makes a G move without capturing, then a 2nd Grasshopper move.
 Grasshopper-2 or -3 (G2/G3): as Grasshopper, but hopping 2 or 3 squares past the hurdle.
 Kangaroo (KA): as Grasshopper but requiring 2 (not necessarily adjacent) hurdles on the same line, and
landing on the square immediately beyond the second hurdle.
 Eagle (EA): a Grasshopper which pivots 90‘ at the hurdle.
 Hamster: moves like a Grasshopper but deflect 180o on passing over the hurdle.
 Moose (M): a Grasshopper which pivots 45‘ at the hurdle.
 Sparrow (SW): a Grasshopper which pivots 135‘ at the hurdle. B- Sparrow (BW): a Sparrow confined to
Bishop-lines.
 Marguerite (MG): moves like all simple hoppers (eagle + grasshopper + hamster + moose + sparrow).
 Nereide (ND): (1,1) Marine piece operating along Bishop lines: without capture moves as Bishop, with
capture – as Locust.
 Nightrider (N): a rider along any straight line of Knight moves.
 Lion (LI): a Grasshopper which can move to any square beyond the hurdle.
 Bishop-Lion (BL) / Rook-Lion (RL) / Nightrider-Lion (NL): moves along B-/ R-/ N-lines over another unit
of either colour to any square beyond that unit. A capture may be made on arrival, but the hurdle is not
affected.
244
 Kangaroo-Lion (KL): moves along Q-lines over 2 hurdles of either color (which may or may not stand on
adjacent squares) to any square beyond the 2nd unit. A capture may be made on arrival, but the hurdle
is not affected.
 Chinese pieces - Leo (LE) / Pao (PA) / Vao (VA) / Nao (NA): move as Queen / Rook / Bishop /
Knight respectively, but capture by hopping over a hurdle to any square beyond like a lion.
 Rao (RA): The Chinese Rose, moves like a Queen but on Rose-lines only.
 Camel (CA): a (1,3/3,1) leaper.
 Rose(RO): (1,2) Octagonal Rider (extents the move of the Knight on a circular path.
 Spiralspringer (SS): moves as Nightrider ((1,2) Rider – operates along straight lines with squares lying a
Knight`s move away from each other), but spirally along the orthogonal line.
 Locust (L): a piece which moves only to capture. It lands on the same squares as a grasshopper, but the
arrival square must be empty, because the locust captures its hurdle.
 B-Locust (LB) / R-Locust (LR) / N-Locust (RN): a Locust confined to Bishop- / Rook- / Nightrider-lines.
 Spiralspringer (SS): moves as Nightrider ((1,2) Rider – operates along straight lines with squares lying a
Knight`s move away from each other), but spirally along the orthogonal line.
 Diagonalspiralspringer (DS): as Spiralspringer, but spirally along the diagonal line.
 Dummy (DU): a piece with no moves at all. It may be captured, gain temporarily moving ability by relay,
or pushed or pulled around by other pieces if there are pushing or pulling pieces on the board.
 Friend (F): a unit which can move only when controlled by a friendly opposing unit, whose power it
then takes on. If controlled by several units, it takes on the power of each suchu nit, and it can transfer
all ansummed powers to another Friend of the same colour.
 Orphan (O): an immovable unit that has no power unless attacked by a unit of the opposite colour,
when it takes the power of that unit and can transmit that power to other orphans.
 Scorpion (SO): combined unit = Wazir (0,1/1,0)-leaper) + Fers (1:1-leaper) + Grasshopper
 Sirene (SI): moves as a Queen but captures only as a Locust (Marine Queen).
 Waran (WA): Rook + Nightrider ((1,2) Rider. Operates along straight lines with squares lying a Knight`s
move away from each other).
 Zebra (Z): a (2,3/3,2) leaper.
 Giraffe (GI): a (1,4) leaper.
 Rose-hopper (RP): moves like a Grasshopper, but on Rose-lines instead of Queen-lines.
 Reverse Pawn (PP): moves as Pawn, but in reversal direction.
 Edgehog (EH): moves like a Queen, but must either start or end its move on an edge square. Pawns
promote to Edgehog, Rook, Bishop or Knight.
 Jigger piece (jX): moves only onto the square of the neighbour piece.
 Magic Kings (mK): cause the immediate change of colour of any piece they come into contact with or
observe again from a different direction. This colour-change happens to pieces of either colour
regardless of which side has made the move, which means that a piece entering the King’s field
changes colour on arrival. Any pieces newly observed by two Magic Kings at once retain their own
colour, as do Magic Kings themselves.
 Scavenger (xS): moves only by capturing the hurdle and landing on this square, colouring, paralyzing or
checking the units of all kinds (including its own). A Scavenger can move only by capturing and hopping
0°. (Karol Mlynka, Aasgeier: Alles–schlagende Steine, in: feenschach 1-2, 2012; H.191 – p. 314.)
“Fairy chess enthusiasts classify pieces into three groups: leapers, riders and hoppers (but be warned - some
pieces do not fit into any of these categories!). Leapers are pieces which play a move of a specific length,
ignoring any intervening piece. Taking the side of a square as one unit, the knight is a leaper whose move is
length root 5 (think Pythagoras!). Riders is fairy terminology for line-pieces, such as queens, rooks and
bishops. Hoppers can only move by jumping over an intervening piece, called a hurdle.“ Michael McDowell:
What are Chess Problems? Fairies: Pieces http://www.theproblemist.org/what-are-chess-problems/27-fairies
“New fairy conditions are constantly being invented by creative composers. Many fail to catch on, some enjoy
a short vogue then fade away, but others become firmly established.“ Michael McDowell: What are Chess
Problems? Fairies: Conditions http://www.theproblemist.org/what-are-chess-problems/27-fairies
245
Fairy conditions
 Anti-Andernach chess: a piece (excluding King) changes its color after any non-capturing move. After
capture, the piece retains its color. Rooks on a1, h1, a8 and h8 can be used for castling, provided the
usual other rules for that move are satisfied. After castling, Rooks do not change color, If White makes
a non-capturing move with neutral or halfneutral piece, that piece becomes black and vice versa.
 Black maximummer: only Black must play the geometrically longest moves, White plays orthodoxal.
 Anticirce: After a capture the capturing piece (Ks included) must immediately be removed to its Circe
rebirth square. This square must be vacant, else the capture is illegal.
 Anticirce (Calvet): After a capture the capturing piece (Ks included) must immediately be removed to
its game array square (necessarily vacant, else the capture is illegal). Captures on the rebirth square are
allowed. Game array squares are determined as in Circe.
 Anticirce (Cheylan): When a piece captures (including King), it must come back to its rebirth square. If
this square is occupied, the capture is forbidden. A Pawn capturing on its promotion rank promotes
before it is reborn. The captures on the rebirth square are forbidden.
 Diagram anticirce: As Anticirce, but the capturing piece reappears on the diagram position rebirth
square.
 Anti-supercirce: After a capture, the side making the capture can place the capturing unit on any empty
square. (Placement is compulsory). A Pawn placed on its first rank is immovable.
 Symmetry-anticirce: As anticirce except that the rebirth square for the capturing unit is the one which
lies at an equal distance (in a straight line) beyond the board‘s midpoint.
 Circe: A captured unit is reborn on its game array square. R, B & S go to the square of the same colour
as the capture; Ps stay on the file of capture; fairy pieces go to the promotion square of the file of
capture. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.
 Circe double agents: a unit (not King) when captured returns to opposite game array square with
opposite color as part of the capturing move.
 Circe Parrain: after a capture, the captured piece is reborn only after another piece of its own side has
moved. The line between capturing square and rebirth square is parallel with and of same direction and
length as the move of this other piece. Pawns can be reborn on 1st and 8th rank. From their own base
rank, they may move one-step; if reborn on the promotion rank, the Pawn at once promotes, the
promotion piece being determined by the Pawn side.
 Circe Turncoats: a unit when captured returns to its game array square with opposite color as part of
the capturing move.
 Mirror circe: The rebirth square is the one for the equivalent unit of the other colour. Thus for the
capture of a WQ it would be d8, not d1; for the capture of a black a-pawn it would be a2.
 Vertical mirror circe (VMC): The rebirth square is the one which, with respect to the usual Circe rebirth
square, is its reflection in the vertical line dividing the king‘s side from the queen‘s side. Thus for f2 it is
c2, for d8 it is e8 and so on. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.
 PWC (Platz Wechsel Circe): When a capture is made, the captured unit (except a King) is replaced on
the square the capturing unit just leaves. A Pawn is immovable on its 1st rank.
 Supercirce: When captured, a piece is reborn on any free field on the chess board without causing self-
check or selfmate. Possible is also removal of captured piece from the board. The Pawns (white, black,
neutrals, half- neutrals) can be reborn on the first or eight row also. When reborn on the first row (for
Black) or on the eight row (for White) the promotion is obligatory. When reborn on the first row (for
White) or on the eight row (for Black) the Pawns are immovable.
 Einstein chess: all units (Ks excluded) change their type when they move, according to a precise
pattern. For non-capture moves: Q>R, R>B, B>S, S>P, P remains P. For capture-moves: R>Q, B>R, S>B,
P>S, Q remains Q
 Reversal Einstein chess: all units (Kings excluded) change their type when they move, according to a
precise pattern. For captures moves: Q>R, R>B, B>S, S>P, P remains P. For non-captures moves: R>Q,
B>R, S>B Q, P>S, Q remains.
 Chameleon chess: all pieces on the board, which are displayed as orthodox Q, R, B, S, are Chameleons.
A Pawn can promote only in Chameleon-pieces.
 Annan chess (Southern chess): A unit (Kings included) one square in front of a friendly unit moves in
the manner of the rear unit, not as itself. For white, affected units are on the same file and one rank
higher, for black they are one rank lower. Transference of powers is only to the next unit: with 3
friendly units adjected in a file, the 3rd moves as the 2nd, the 2nd moves as the 1st. The Pawns on their
first rank are immobile.
246
 Back-to-back: When pieces of opposite colors stand back-to-back with each other on the same file they
exchange their roles. A pawn on the first rank cannot move. Any piece can make an en passant capture
when it has got a role of Pawn by Back-To-Back.
 Face-to-face: When pieces of opposite colors directly confront with each other on the same file, they
exchange their roles. P on the first rank cannot move unless it is given a power to move by FTF. Any
piece can make an en passant capture when it is given a power to move as P by FTF.
 Disparate: If one side makes a move with a piece of type “x” (black, white, neutral, half-neutral, etc.,
King included), the other side cannot answer immediately by moving a piece of the same type “x”.).
A pawn promoting is a pawn move.
 Messigny chess: as a move, a side can swap the squares of one of his own pieces with a similar
opposite piece. A swap may not be undone by the opponent on the immediate next move.
 Norsk sjakk: It may capture pieces of the same gangue only this but as usual. Kings cannot capture
itself, but can be checked by any opposite piece. After a piece has moved or captured, it changes as a
direct consequence of his move, the pace while maintaining its color: Queen to Knight, Rook to Bishop
and each vice versa. Pawns remain Pawns. Checks will be determined after the change of pace
 Take & Make chess: Capturing moves consist of two steps. The capturing step ("take") must be
complemented by a further step by the capturer ("make": not a capture), using the movement of the
captured unit, otherwise the capture is illegal. Pawns may not end up on their own first rank. Captures
on the promotion rank lead to promotions only if the pawn is on the promotion rank after the "make"
step. Promotions at the end of the "make" step are normal.
 KoBul Kings - When a piece (not a pawn) of his own side is captured, a King transforms into a Royal
piece of the same type as the captured one. When the King is in the form of any Royal piece and there
is a capture of one of the pawns of his own side, he becomes a normal King again.
 SAT-chess: A King is under check if it can move to at least one square not controlled by the opposite
side.
 Sentinelles: when a piece (Pawn excluded) leaves a square outside the first and last rows, it leaves a
Pawn of the color of the side that played unless 8 Pawns in this color are already on the board.
 Black Maximummer: Only Black must play the geometrically longest moves, White plays orthodoxal.
 Follow-My-Leader: Black has to move to the departure square of the previous white move, if he can, if
not such move exists, Black can made any move.
 Strict Follow-My-Leader: Folllow-My-Leader in which Black has to make moves entering departure
squares of White moves.
 No-capture chess: captures are illegal, but all other rules, including check (or mate), are orthodox.
 Ultraschachzwang: A piece may move only to check. If it doesn’t have checking moves it is stale-mated.
 Eiffel chess: Like Madrasi, but with shifted paralyzing effects: Q > P > S > B > R > Q, so the Bishop
paralyzes the Rook, the Rook the Queen etc.
 Imitator (I): All moves must be exactly imitated in length and direction by the I, else they are illegal. The
Imitator may be blocked by the board edge or by a unit of any colour. However it is not blocked by the
moving unit.
 Neutrality: A unit with this characteristic may be regarded as of either colour by the side whose turn it
is to play. Neutral pawns (F) promote to neutral pieces. For rebirths neutrals are (temporarily) of the
colour opposite to that of the capturing piece.
 Half-neutral piece: Piece, which can exist in black, white or neutral, state and changes its state by the
rules: A piece in the neutral state may be moved by Black or White, and after move it changes into
black or white state respectively.
 Help-self(stale)mate (HS#/=): in the beginning White and Black cooperate to create possition which is
self(stale)mate in 1 move.
 Series-selfmate (ser-S#n): White plays n moves (with Black not moving until the end of the series) to
reach a position where Black is forced to mate White immediately.
 Serieshelp(stale)mate (ser-H#/=): Black plays the stated number of helpful moves while White remains
still; then White (stale)mates in one. Check may be given only on Black´s last move.
 Parry series-mover (pser-H#/=): differs from a standard series-mover prior to the last move as follows:
the series-side may give check during the series; when checked, the idle-side must immediately parry
the threat; a parry-move may be helpful or defensive, depending on the problem-type; after a check-
and-parry, the series-side continues the series.
 Z-kl-mn = The Z-formula denotes the number of phases, variations, defences and changed mates.

 Marc Alexander Ridley: Fairy Kings; Mat Plus Review 9-10, 2009:
“The Super Transmuting King, sometimes better known as a Pressburger King, is one of the more up
and coming fairy kings. It is a king which definitively takes up the nature of the checking piece (and
thus loses his royal status).“
 Pressburger King (Super-transmuting King)

A King, which permanently takes the power of the checking piece. After being checked, the King loses
his Royal status and can be captured.

 Definition of Pressburger King in Slovak:

Prešporský kráľ (supermutujúci kráľ): kráľ, ktorý po šachovaní definitívne získava pohyblivosť
šachujúceho kameňa, musí okamžite ťahať, pričom stráca svoju kráľovskú funkciu. Ak po šachovaní
nemôže ťahať, je zmatovaný. Pokiaľ nie je šachovaný, zostáva ortodoxným kráľom.

ANNEXES
THEME TOURNEY MARIANKA CUP 2014 (Judge: Juraj Brabec) *

(Translation of the award from Slovak to English by Juraj Lörinc)
30-day festival theme tourney Marianka Cup was announced for compositions with any stipulation
using supertransmuting king. Other fairy elements were unlimited as well. The tourney was
announced in honour of the discoverer of supertransmuting king, Karol Mlynka, who turned 70 on the
August 11th.
Supertransmuting king: king, that after being checked definitely acquires mobility of the checking
unit, must move and loses its royal attribute.
Judgement
The chosen theme has shown that even 16 years after first definition of the super-transmuting king
there is no consensus view on the properties of this interesting piece, shared by all composers and not
even organizer and judge (the same person) of the tourney. The biggest confusion arose around the
question, when exactly supertransmuting king loses its royal attribute. It is not apparent from the
definition used in magazine PAT A MAT, and that appeared at the same time as supertransmuting
king, that the change of king's mobility, the requirement to move and the loss of royal attribute all
appear at the same time. The first changed thing is the mobility of the king, then he must move and
only then his royal attribute is lost. In other words, checked supertransmuting king after acquisition of
mobility of checking piece is still a king, even if with the new mobility. Then he must move and if, still
as a king, he cannot make the move, he is checkmated.
But what does it mean – „he cannot make the move“ – does it mean the king has to have zero
mobility at the moment or it cannot still as a king enter the guarded square? In the meantime the
definition was precised and nowadays it is clear – the royal attribute is lost in the moment when the
move begins, i.e. when the supertransmuting king is lifted from the board. As a consequence, the
supertransmuting king can be checkmated if he has no mobility after check. If his mobility is non-zero,
he can move, but he is no longer king at that time and thus he can enter guarded square.
Other received questions were not so difficult to answer. They were mostly dealing with the check in
SAT and the mobility acquired by supertransmuting king after battery or mutliple-check. In SAT the
piece giving the flight is considered to be checking one and therefore supertransmuting king acquires
its mobility. After battery check the supertransmuting king changes into rear battery piece and after
multiple check the piece to turn into is chosen among checking pieces by the checked side. Also, I
consider the move by supertransmuting king in the royal shape and without royal attribute to be the
same.

Juraj Lörinc:
New ideas in fairy chess 5 - supertransmuting king **
Its invention was inspired by two events. Firstly, it was last WCCT with its fairy section dedicated to
transmuting kings, that brought the possibilities of changing king's movement into spotlight of
composers worldwide. Karol Mlynka was very active here in Slovakia and he tried to add other power
to special rule. Secondly, it was jubilee tourney Brabec-60, where he went into award with two works
introducing supertransmuting king for the first time publicly. Here are the definitions:
Transmuting king
is a king which, when in check, takes the power(s) of the checking unit(s) in place of its own,
Supertransmuting king
is a king which, when checked, takes on the power(s)of the checking unit(s) in place of its
own, and retains it/them after the check has been parried. At this point it loses its royal
status, so that the play continues without a royal unit for this side.
Examples: Mlynka, K.: Pressburger King 1, Bratislava 2016: A01 & A03.
** In: New ideas in fairy chess 5 www.jurajlorinc.com/chess/niifc_05.htm
Strephen Emmerson: Supertransmuting King***

When checked, moves in the same manner as the checking unit, and remains as that type for the
remainder of the play, losing its royal nature.
(*** In: The Problemist 3. 2007 – p. 74)
Marco Bonavoglia: Re super tramutato****

Il Re supertramutato muove come il pezzo che gli dà scacco; dal momento in cui effettua una tal
mossa, acquista per sempre il nuovo potere, ma perde quelli reali.
(**** In: Eteroscacco - Italian magazine 11. 2007)
« LE ROI SUPERTRANSMUTE » ***** par Karol MLYNKA
La définition est la suivante :

Roi Super-Transmuté : Roi qui, lorsquíl est en échec, prend le pouvoir de la pièce qui lui donne échec,
et le garde une fois que l´échec est paré. Il perd alors son statut Royal et le camp qui le possède ná
alors plus de pièce Royale.
Cette pièce féerique a aussi un autre nom, dérivé du nom du lieu de sa dècouverte (Bratislava –
Pressburg en allemand) : Pressburger King (Roi presbourgeois). Sa caractéristique basique est que ce
Roi se comporte comme un "non-Roi" apres chaque échec et cela lui permet de prendre le rôle des
différentes piéces. Dans les compositions plus longues, il nést pas obligé de prendre la fonction de la
pièce qui le mate, et il peut mȇme ȇtre pris suite à sa métamorphose. ...“
(***** In: Phénix-178, 11. 2008)
Kjell Widlert: Springaren 6, 2016 (no.140):

„En Pressburg K (Supertransmuting K) tar när den schackas över schackande pjäsens gångart för
gott, måste dra (schacken fär inte pareras av annan pjäs) och förlorar därvid sin kungliga status.“
PDB: Supertransmuting King (=Pressburger King): A king which, when checked, takes on the power(s)
of the checking unit(s) in place of its own, and retains it/them after the check has been parried. At this
point it loses its royal status, so that the play continues without a royal unit for this side. "Parrying
check" means running out of reach of checking piece(s), not necessarily moving to square not
attacked by opposite side. Inventor: Karol Mlynka, 1998.

Ihr fragt euch sicher gleich interessiert, was es mit dem Kopfstandkönig auf f5 zu schaffen hat. Das ist
ein Pressburger König. Dieser nimmt, sobald ihm Schach geboten wird, die Gangart der
schachbietenden Figur ein und behält diese dann bei. Zugleich verliert er die Eigenschaft des Königs.
Gedanken und Antworten bitte als Kommentar!

1. Hartplatzheld
4. Juli 2012 - 08:43
Die politisch korrekte Bezeichnung ist doch bestimmt Bratislava-König (und naheliegender-
weise setzt dieser nach vorheriger Geschlechtsumwandlung einmal auf g5, einmal auf g4
und einmal auf g3 matt).
2. Losso
4. Juli 2012 - 10:56
Um die Aufgabe zu verstehen: Bedeutet das in a), dass die Lösung
1.c1D h4 2.Dg5 Kxg5# ist?
Das ist insofern verwirrend, als dass ich mich frage, wie Weiß nach Verlust der königlichen
Eigenschaft des Königs noch verlieren kann. Durch Schlag all seiner Figuren?
3. GH
4. Juli 2012 - 11:34
Und wieso hat der Schwarze nicht ebenfalls einen solchen Pressburger König?
4. Stefan
4. Juli 2012 - 12:00
Weiß soll ja gar nicht verlieren, insofern könnte man vielleicht auch a) 1.c1D h4 2.Dg5+
(wK=wD) Dxg5# schreiben ;-) Ich weiß aber nicht, wie die szenetypische Schreibweise ist…
@GH Kann man einen Pressburger König überhaupt mattsetzen?
5. HL
4. Juli 2012 - 13:44
Vor allem: Wie zieht ein Pressburger König, wenn er im Doppelschach steht?
6. MiBu
4. Juli 2012 - 16:11
wKc6, Bb6, sKa8 Ba7. 1.b7 ist matt, wenn der sK ein Bratislava-lover ist.
7. Stefan
4. Juli 2012 - 19:01
Kann man einen schwarzen Bauern auf a8 mattsetzen? Das berührt schon
schachphilosophische Fragen… @HL Ich schätze, da gibt es Typ A und Typ B des Presskönigs,
notfalls müssen wir das noch näher ausarbeiten ;-)
8. Losso
5. Juli 2012 - 10:14
@MiBu: Das stimmt nicht. Durch das Schachgebot verliert der Pressburger König ja seine
königliche Eigenschaft.Es gibt so etwas ähnliches: Der transmutierende König. Der zieht wie
254
ein König und nur, wenn er im Schach steht, zieht er für diesen einen Zug wie die schach-
bietende Figur. Außerdem verliert er nie seine königliche Eigenschaft. In diesem Fall hättest
Du auch mit Deinem Beispiel recht.
9. uvo
5. Juli 2012 - 14:41
Sehe ich das richtig, dass mit wKa6, wBb6 / sKa8, sDb8 Weiß in einem Zug mattsetzen kann,
falls er einen Pressburger König besitzt?
@HL: Deine Frage möchte ich gern mit einem kleinen Problem beantworten:
W: Kf6 (Pressburger König) - S: Kh8, Lc1, Sf3. Hilfsmatt in zwei Zügen.
10. MiBu
5. Juli 2012 - 16:39
@losso: Dann stimmte aber die Definition (»nimmt die Gangart der schachbietenden Figur
an«) nicht bzw. war unvollständig, es war kein Hinweis dabei, dass dabei gleichzeitig die
Republik ausgerufen wird. Die Lösungen b) und c) sollten IMHO mit 1.Kh4 bzw. 1.Kh3
beginnen.
11. Losso
5. Juli 2012 - 23:04
*Fingerzeig*: Zugleich verliert er die Eigenschaft des Königs.
Damit ist im Problemschach meines Wissens immer die Eigenschaft gemeint, matt gesetzt
werden zu können. Insofern ist es nicht unvollständig, sondern es heißt: Eins weiter lesen!
12. MiBu
5. Juli 2012 - 23:47
Auch wieder wahr… Vor allem haben die Lösungen natürlich das Problem, dass Transe
g5/g4/g3 unmöglich wäre, wenn er/sie/es noch etwas K wäre. »Eigenschaft« bezieht sich
dann wohl auch auf die Möglichkeit, sich dem gegnerischen K zu nähern.
Dieses Märchenschach ist manchmal wirklich vertrackt, wobei sich hier noch die Zusatzfrage
stellt, wie man eigentlich gewinnen kann, wenn man keinen K mehr hat…?!

REVIEW
Pressburger King (eBook)

SATURDAY, 10/15/2016NEWS , CHART BY JL
Fairy chess connoisseurs got in the summer an interesting gift. Karol Mlynka has closed one phase of collecting
compositions to Pressburger king and the collection issued in the form of an e-Book Pressburger King
(Collection of fairy chess problems) , which is freely available.
You may ask - what is the Pressburger king?
According to the introduction to Pressburger king (even the name supertransmuting king) was established 1998
in Bratislava, in the creative laboratory of Karol Mlynka. He drew inspiration from Transmuted King when the
popular king who was even fairy element used in the World Chess Composition Tournament. Karol Mlynka the
world competition successfully participated and his joint composition won the 10th place in the relevant
section. But much longer term impacts today appears just invented Pressburger king when he posed the
question "What would happen if the checked king ceased to be king forever?"
The very first experiments showed that a logical idea brings many questions related to the peculiarities of the
chess space-time, so it took until the definition of Pressburger king stabilized as follows: "After being checked,
the Supertransmuting King must immediately move like the checking piece and then losing his royal status
definitively takes up its nature. When no such move is available, the ST-King side parries the check normally. If
the checked King cannot move, it is a mate."
There were a lot of thematic tournaments devoted Pressburger king of them was the most mature tournament
for the Cup of Marianka 2014 . It proved that Pressburger king is already an established fairy element that can
be used for unusual wide range of themes.
This brings us back to the collection. It contains a total of 428 compositions, sorted by genre. In all acts either
the Pressburger king or his close relatives. In addition it is possible to find a large number publication of
additional information.
For illustration, I chose an understandable twomover from the inventor of Pressburger king. It shows
significantly that Pressburger king not only not afraid of checking unit, but on the contrary, he likes when you
threaten. This makes the task of processing the combined change of variations in four phases, in the thematic
play (keys and mates) has just solo the Pressburger king. Juraj Lörinc
