(In the Royal battery one King moves discovering a piece which checks the other King. We can have at most 6 variations in an orthodox problem. If this happens, the composer has achieved a task).
Comment by the composer ...
"If black attempts to give check, he dies instantly. Let some venerables see this six-bullet-gun, this Royal task with 12 pieces, and not be indifferent to the rules of chess composition.
Ton a'thlo en anamoni' - (This task in waiting)
sas ton parousia'zo - (I present to you)
ki an ge'rasa re ma'gkes mou - (and though I am aged, my urchins)
pa'nta mprosta' kita'zo - (I always look ahead). "

The composer likes problems with a few pieces and ideal mates. Sometimes he accompanies them with verses. We will present more problems by the last rembetis Nikos Pergialis.
