The sequel to my previous forum:

I will give a trophy to anyone who composes a chess problem in any of these categories:

1. A selfmate in 4 that does not involve a pin of any kind.

2. A pawnless mate in 5 where the killer is a white knight from a1

3. An endgame study that I like but have never seen before.

Black to move and force white to checkmate him in 5.
