Dear GM Petkov,
Repeatedly sent you that original polished 6-mover chess puzzle, with diagram, which I conceived since 1960, appreciated by IM Rodolfo Tan Cardoso, first Filipino IM, inspired me, and developed when sporadic op0ortunity presents and which was perfected and sent you as entry for chess puzzle composition of FIDE 2011. Please permit me to request acknowledgement. Thank you.
