Zu der Variante 1. ... f5 2. De5+ Lxe5 3. d8=sD,d8=sT# merkt Hume an: "Literally a Self-mate."

Motto: Help yourself!

Version und Motto von G.Hume: "Hume: "I have added the motto, and made a slight change in the position to avoid some duals that rather spoiled the joke."
(Als Kompositionsdatum ist angegeben: 25 June, 1916)
Henrik Juel: 3.d8=sD?? is an illegal self-check, but maybe this is an extra joke
It is problems like this that give Joke problems their well-deserved bad reputation... (2020-02-13)
A.Buchanan: Hume was a celebrated orthodox composer too. Is there solving software which will allow foreign promotions? I’m not convinced about the given solution here (2020-02-14)
Henrik Juel: Popeye 4.61 does not allow anything
Popeye 4.79 and newer allows promotion to own pawn (with e.g. bed uwn d t l s du), but not 'foreign' promotions, I believe (2020-02-14)
Mario Richter: Regarding the claimed illegal self-check I think that Hume added the motto exactly for the purpose of helping the solver to detect the joke.
Quote from White's 'A Memorial to D.J. Densmore'-book: "By the death of Densmore, the chess problem world has lost, foremost of all ... the clown in the circus of chess problemists - a great entertainer, that had suddenly sprung into their midst." (2020-02-15)

Reproduktion aus "The Problem" || DIB: Ein sehr witziges Verteidigungssystem macht die meisten Anschläge des Weißen zunichte. Erst wenn man die pikanten Paraden erkannt hat, findet man die richtige Angriffsweise.

Das Diagramm im Densmore-Buch trägt den Zusatz "V" [=The letter "V" indicates a version differing slightly from its first form.]

Densmore-Buch: "In the further field of the mutual interference of a long range and a short range piece, Densmore's work had hardly more than commenced. In September, 1916, he gleefully writes of composing No. 27A, with interference of Bishop and Knight, suggesting it was 'a happy thought' by reason of its economy."
Frank Müller: Vermutlich ist die Quelle das Buch "D. J. Densmore and The Densmore Memorial Tourney" aus der berühmten Christmas Series, Stround 1920. In diesem Buch finden sich neben den Ausgaben des Memorial-Turnieres auch eine Sammlung der Aufgaben von Desmore, darunter auch einige Originale aus dem Nachlass. (2016-01-26)
Frank Müller: Die PDB hat 3 Namen für die gleiche Quelle.
1) Densmore-Gedenkturnier (publiziert im nachfolgendem Buch)
2) D. J. Densore and The Densmore Memorial Tourney 1918 (offizieller Buchtitel)
3) A Memorial to D. J. Densmore (Kurztitel auf dem Einband von 2) (2016-01-26)
Mario Richter: Im Nachdruck in der 'DAZ' stand nur "Densmore-Memorial", tippt man "Densmore" bei der Problemeingabe im Quellen-Feld ein, wird daraus automatisch "Densmore-Gedenkturnier".
Gemeint war aber natürlich das Densmore-Buch aus der Christmas Serie, so daß sich Henriks Kommentar nach der entsprechenden Korrektur nun erübrigt haben dürfte. (2016-01-27)
