Among the two-movers in Lyons’ “Chess-Nut Burrs' is one characterized by Mr. Lyons as 'a gem,' and whose authorship is ascribed to Mr. J. Paul Taylor, the well-known London composer of the charming two-move morsels. Now, it is rather hard upon Mr. Lyons, but nevertheless it is true that the alleged author of this 'gem,' Mr. Taylor, writes to the 'British Chess Magazine' and mildly protests against being saddled with the authorship of the aforesaid position, which he stigmatizes as 'a one horse shay;’ and Mr. Andrews as mildly echoes his intimation that Mr. Lyons will oblige by explaining when and where the position originally appeared as Mr. Taylor's work. Now, having a firm impression that we knew exactly where to put our finger on this repudiated 'one horse shay,' we turned up and found that the position appeared as No. 160 of the British Chess Magazine, March, '83, and as Mr. Taylor's work! Exuent Andrews and Taylor, bearing the remains of the ‘one horse shay,' and enter Lyons puzzled whether to weep or rejoice at his victory. This double-barreled joke yields a treble-barreled moral : 1st, composers should leave child's-play to children; 2d, editors should consider rather the merits than the author's name of a problem submitted for publication; and 3d, the disclosure of competitors' names to tourney judges is a gigantic blunder.” |
