14. J.A. - Set Play (only used for help or series problems)

15. Jumeaux - Twins, number of solutions .. ' ->, '<->', '=>', '<=>' are automatically replaced using the 'Symbol' font. Most of the usual twins are recognized for solving.

Question 1:
Regarding the Jumeaux field, here are some instructions. In the screen below:

In b) I need to add a White bishop on d2
In c) I need to add a White Knight on d4 to the position of b)
In d) I need to add a White Knight on d7 to the position of c)

Answer:
Enter the following:
b) +f7d2
c) =b) +d4
d) =c) +d7
then Ctrl+P, you obtain :
b) +pf7d2
c) =b) +d4
d) =c) +d7
then select p and enter 'f' to replace the pawn by a bishop and remove 'f7' (f7 has been chosen because there is a piece on that square) ; then copy (Ctrl+C for instance) f and paste (Ctrl+V) it before 'd4' and 'd7'. Select the f before d4 and d7 and enter 'c'.

Can you give me any shortcut keys to add:
White King : r
White Queen : de
White Rook : t
White Bishop : f
White Knight : c
White Pawn : p
Black King : R
Black Queen : D
Black Rook : T
Black Bishop : F
Black Knight : C
Black Pawn : P

Question 2:

How do I note a problem where b) is a different type problem which occurs AFTER the complete solution of a)

Example

a) h=3

b) s#3 after the complete solution of a)
Answer:

a) h=3

b) s‡3 dans la position finale

(WinChloe is not able to solve this twinning : each solution has to be solved independently)

Question 3:

b) after key move of a)

c) after key move of b)

How do I enter without giving away the previous key move?

Answer:
b) après la clé

c) =b) après la clé

Question 4:
Regarding ‘twin’ or ‘twining’ which is the reflection of the position from right to left. How do I specify in WinChloe.
Answer:
b) miroir vertical

Question 5:

I have a problem with a white Bishop on c4. In b) the white Bishop is replaced by a white Knight. In c) the white Bishop is replaced by a white Rook. How do I put this in WinChloe?
Answer:

In the jumeaux field, enter

b) c4

c) c4

then Ctrl+P.

then select the first bishop which appeared before c4 and enter 'c'

then select the second bishop which appeared before c4 and enter 't'

27. C+/C- - Computer checked & sound (C+); C- unchecked - not correct; gray - undetermined

Question:
I have a question of C+ versus C-. What is the determining factor? I'm really unsure when C- is used.
Answer:

C+ : the problem is Correct (proved by computer)

C- : the problem is not Correct (cooked, dual, no solution...)

else (greyed) : the problem cannot or has not been tested by computer and no unsoundness has been found. (i.e. retro problems, proving e.p., proving castling, etc)
