[Retros] Cook-reporting

[Pastmaker at aol.com]

Dear friends, 

       My earlier email about the reporting of cooks was strictly from the 
composer's perspective.  It was not until I read Andrey's email that I had any 
idea that finding a cook gave a solver extra points in solving competitions.  
(I have enough trouble composing problems that I hope will interest other 
retroanalysts without getting involved in the solving competitions.)
      
       By the way, regarding a composition that I still regard as one of my 
most clearly thematic (in the retroplay each of two Rs circumnavigates the same 
P, one moving clockwise, the other counterclockwise) die Schwalbe published a 
"cook" that consisted of the precisely correct solution.  On the database, 
Gerd Wilts was kind enough to take the position that the problem was not cooked. 
  

Regards,
Tom
