SP: This was not one of the 6 HMs in the Loyd MT. As it was among eight
problems in "Group II. The Next Best.", I would have no argument
with it being called a commendation. Though published in 1913 it was
sent to the FIDE Album dated "1924". (2023-06-17)

'Die Bastion': "Zu vorstehendem Problem, welches erstmalig in der 'Pittsburgh Gazette Times' 1916 erschien, schreibt Dr. E. Birgfeld nachfolgende Geschichte:
"Verbrecherjagd im Wolkenkratzer.
Dem König der Bankräuber ist die Polizei endlich auf den Fersen. Während zwei Patrouillen mit vorgestreckten Brownings die Hehler- u. Stehlerbande in Schach halten, geht die wilde Jagd treppauf, Stockwerk um Stockwerk empor. Immer näher kommt der Häscher, immer atemloser wird der Flüchtling. Da, das rettende Dach! Nun der tollkühne Sprung zum Nachbarhaus. Aber was ist das? Sein eigenes Weib hält ihn wimmernd zurück. Mit unterdrücktem Wutgeschrei reißt er sich los. Zu spät!"

Die AL wurde nicht veröffentlicht, stattdessen schreibt die 'Pittsburgh Gazette Times' (25.08.1912): "This problem seems to be cooked in 22 moves or less by a method that is not Durbar. The problem is, however, cooked, and therefore has no value in the contest or as a problem. Since there is no mainline of play, we reserve the space for the solution for other matter. Someone may be able to prove that it takes 25, or can be done in20, but what's the use."

"OFFICER HE IS IN AGAIN"

A few weeks ago we publishd a problem by the late Russian master, Tchigorin, in which, owing to the wording of the rule at the time covering promotion, white played 1-P-Kt8 (black knight) and mate. Now one of the leading composers of this country (his name is withheld for his own good) sends us the following position. Try the same key move on this and note carefully the result. The effect cannot but bring a smile. Who was mated first?
Henrik Juel: 1.g8=sS is an illegal self-check (2020-10-15)
A.Buchanan: There’s a implicit notion of atomicity - a move somehow is indivisible. Otherwise one might argue that Bl is checked before the promotion part of the move etc. It’s interesting to peer over the edge once and see the impact of evaluating the game state before the move is finished. This is different from looking at a diagram and seeing that it’s illegal, and realising that a resolution is to think that one is mid-move (2020-10-16)
Mario Richter: Inspired by a discussion at chessgames.com (www.chessgames.com/player/sam_loyd.html?kpage=16) one could create a twin by adding a white rook on (e.g.) g1 ... (2020-10-16)
James Malcom: Thank you Mario for posting that Link! I was going to link it eventually, as that's where I found this wonderful twist on the, by then, already ancient and classic mate in one. (2020-10-16)
