Answers.Body: <p>Hi Arnaud thanks for your question.</p>
  
  <p>The problems themselves can all be found in pdb.dieschwalbe.de. Type K='50' AND A='Plaksin' AND S='Problem' AND YEAR='1979'. All 50 are there numbered, with solutions. If you are typing from a phone make sure that you select the correct single-quote character: the vertical one.</p>
  
  <p>The query reveals that they were published in the now-defunct magazine Problem, but it does not give the article text. I suggest Arnaud that you send your request to the Retro Mailing List retros@janko.at. This will put you in touch with all the current retro greats who would probably love to hear from you.</p>
  
  <p>If that doesn’t work then let me know and I will approach someone individually.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: the 50x50 article is now available at <a href="https://www.janko.at/Retros/Articles/index.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.janko.at/Retros/Articles/index.htm</a> in Russian but I guess that google translate will work - and the diagrams are the not important part.</p>

Answers.Text: hi Arnaud - there was a tiny typo in the command sorry - the last quote sign ' had defaulted to apostrophe ’ . That’s easy to miss on phone - have fixed that in my earlier post. The year parameter must be included in quotes in order to be used.

  Hi Arnaud thanks for your question.
  
  The problems themselves can all be found in pdb.dieschwalbe.de. Type K='50' AND A='Plaksin' AND S='Problem' AND YEAR='1979'. All 50 are there numbered, with solutions. If you are typing from a phone make sure that you select the correct single-quote character: the vertical one.
  
  The query reveals that they were published in the now-defunct magazine Problem, but it does not give the article text. I suggest Arnaud that you send your request to the Retro Mailing List retros@janko.at. This will put you in touch with all the current retro greats who would probably love to hear from you.
  
  If that doesn’t work then let me know and I will approach someone individually.
