Ivan Bryukhanov, a well-known chess problemist and solver from Ukraine, has dedicated two puzzles to me (they have been published in the magazine Ukrainian Problemist, #3 (21) 2009).

Have a happy New Year & enjoy chess!

Image
Selfmate in 2 (Black to play, White and Black are cooperating to mate Black), 2 solutions

Image
Reversed mate in 5. Circe. (White starts and forces Black to mate White; Circe means that if a piece is taken, it returns to its original square, e.g. d1 for the white queen, a1 or h1 for the white rook, etc.)

Hi Natalia. In the first puzzle it is stated that it is "white to play", however it is black's move. By the way - excellent puzzles, I'm sure your honoured.
