Geen Nederlands eremetaal in de vier categorieën. Beste Nederlander in een categorie is Tj Smedinga met een vierde plaats in categorie D.
Pikant detail: Smedinga won een tijdje terug een prestigieus KVD-concours met een probleem dat wat kritiek oogste - ook van mij. Maar met onderstaande compositie heeft Smedinga laten zien dat een hoge klassering in een problemistenconcours geen toeval is.



Oplossing: 41,483,39,12(8),26x17,504,31,21,40,30,2,2x38x9,9+.

Een zeer goed probleem met een mooie, compacte beginstand.
