Unofficial World Championship Checker Problem Composing Contest 47

Unofficial World Championship Checker Problem Composing Contest 47 - 2-Phase Problems
September 21 - October 31, 2019. See the cover page on this website or the link below.

This original, unpublished quartet of problems includes one from overseas. All are unusual in that the first part of every solution introduces interesting afterplay in the second part. You don't have the full solution until you grasp both the early and late phases. Most checker problems don't offer that bonus.

See these problems animated, and cast your deciding vote for the one you like best. Hone your skills by climbing the International Voters' Ladder and help identify World Champions. Or enter, in future contests, your own original, unpublished problems, if you think they are competitive. The action is free and here at this contest website.

To get on the ladder, just make public your vote by promptly disclosing it in an e-mail to the address under the diagrams. Anonymous voters don't get on the ladder. Currently the top four voters are from four different countries. Send your contest entries to the same address.

Would somebody please cast a vote just to see if the computer is working?

[Bill Salot]

Good, it is working! We have a winner, even if no one else votes.

For those who are paying attention, this contest will conclude in less than a week.
Currently 3 of the 4 problem entries are in a tie for first place. This is your opportunity to cast a single vote that could easily determine the winner.

Of course 2 votes in the wrong place could produce a 4-way tie.

I don't like to see ties; how about you?
