The CV Losing Chess and Helpmates are a first at Chessbase: Helpmates, Selfmates article. Selfmates of old are based on a form of the cv Losing Chess. F.i.d.e. problem/fairy department actually has sanctioned certain few cv pieces for problems, and this same Vukcevich thread has more information. Knowing them is necessary to get grandmaster title in problems like nobel-candidate Vukcevich's.
