Французский МK памяти Alain Vermeulen 2024-2025 - Регламент

Всем привет ! Несколько месяцев назад летом этого года получил имэйл от Doubovy Nicolas с приглашением принять участие в конкурсе.
Положение мне показалось интересным и любопытным и я подумал - а почему бы и нет ? Послал позиции в обе категории и вчера получил
имэйл от Николаса с позициями и решениями. Замечания можно присылать до конца года. Я ещё раз подумал - "а почему бы и нет ?" и по
старой памяти решил поместить весть материал здесь для удовольствия публики, где все могут блеснуть умением анализа и находить во всех
позициях то, что автору бы и не приснилось! Я сделаю три поста на эту тему: один с регламентом и два поста с позициями и решениями по
категориям.

Заранее спасибо за замечания.

С уважением,
АЛЕМО
