Leen
de Rooij visited this beautiful country mid 2015 and was inspired by
its five big animals:
lion, rhinoceros, elefant, leopard, and buffalo! During his
trip, see also his full report of the trip in Dutch, Leen composed five
draughts problems, all ending with
two black men on positions 5 ('Kruger park' in the north-east) and 36 ('Cape Town' in the south-west), while a white king may end on the positions 14, 19, 23, 28, 32, 37 or 46. These South-Africa holiday compositions can be seen, solved and/or played below, in the above-mentioned order of the big animals! Finally, Leen de Rooij made an additional two animal-inspired draughts compositions, called 'springbok' and 'crocodile', respectively: Hopefully, you have enjoyed these holiday-compositions as much as the author has enjoyed his trip to and in South Africa! |
