This was also in StrateGems 18:
We [=StrateGems] are pleased to announce a tourney celebrating Gianni Donati's 50th birthday (19-Apr-2002)! The GD50JT requires proofgames with the following theme: "A promotee leaves its promotion square and returns there. The promotee may be captured." Below are two basic examples showing, respectively, a non-captured and captured promotee. Entries to Dan Meinking must be received by 31-Dec-2002.
Judge: Gianni Donati
