2007-08-27 17:54:34nune1551I can see a simple capture being a good problem if there's other tempting options, but here where even the recapture results in a losing position? I don't get it. 
2008-06-18 03:41:59mbingham1437Another pathetic waste of space. Really, you guys should specify who submits these problems, because *one* of the guys who does is recently post-op lobotomy and should be restricted until after his therapy is completed. 
2008-11-13 13:04:02macLeay1639Crazy. This is a losing position, almost resignable

2010-07-10 19:58:19QuickFire1571Look... I'm also annoyed that I spent too long looking for something which wasn't there before simply playing pawn takes rook. But the fault is in me, not the problem. So 2 stars for ARGHHH! factor.
