play all play one stop play next play all
Max J. Meyer in 'Brighton and Hove Society', 1904: "It will be seen that the ideas of these two problems [dieses und P1143870] are the same. The addition of the White B. enables Mr. Mackenzie to get a much better key for this position, a point in which Steinweg's problem does not excel; but, of course, the use of an extra piece renders the miniature less remarkable from the point of view of smallness in size."
Paulo Roque: .
Solution:
1) 1. La7 KxLa7 2. c8=T! Ka6 3. Ta8#

2) Proof da legality of the answer:
Retro: 0... Ka7-a8 -1. b7-b8=L etc (2009-09-06)
Sally: Der letzte weiße Zug von Weiß kann nur Ba7xb8L gewesen sein, demgemäß enthält die Aufgabe 2 Bauernumwandlungen
in verschiedenen Figuren: in der lösung in einem turm und retrospektiv in einen Läufer.

Henrik Juel: There is even a third promotion in the threat 2.c8=D+
C+ by Popeye 4.61 (2016-08-30)
A.Buchanan: Here the threat play (1) is sound & (2) can never occur as Black has no neutral move. But if threat play is *unsound* yet can never occur, can it be safely ignored or will some directmate purists regard that as a defect? (2022-04-02)
Henrik Juel: I think not, Andrew
When I test problems, I ignore plays that do not occur (2022-04-02)

A.Buchanan: The position is unique (except for left-right reflection). In particular, it cannot be shifted up or down without breaking (b) and only the current location of wK makes (b) sound and (a)&(d) solvable. (2017-01-27)

A.Buchanan: PDB gives us very little flexibility for describing the quality of problems. I suppose we should record duals in the "Cook" field for now. Everyone would agree that the trial is a defect. But duals are not cooks, and even if we accept that "Cooked" is PDB-speak for "Unsound" for now, it would go against the view of many problemists to mark this celebrated problem as unsound. It would also violate Codex Section III https://www.wfcc.ch/1999-2012/codex/#c3. (2021-11-07)
Henrik Juel: I agree, Andrew (2021-11-07)

Teppo Mänttä: FIDE-Album gives also the variation 1.Db1 Tc6 2.Lf7+; however, there is a major dual 1.Db1 Tc6 2.Dd3!. The dual has been corrected by moving the wh. King from g8 to f8 (see "Computer test FIDE Albums" 1993). (2021-07-29)

Teppo Mänttä: This problem is among the Bohemian problems in FIDE-Album, thus there are three model mate variations. 1.Ld4! (2.Lc5+) 1.--- Sb3 2.Le5 dxe6 3.Ld6#(MM), 1.--- d6 2.Lf6 --- 3.Le7#(MM), 1.--- b3 2.Sf4 dxe6 3.Sg6#(MM). (2021-07-12)

Korrekte Version: Lb5>f1 & Sg6>e5 (Gustav 4.1c C+)
SBD: Cooked, 1. Bxc6+ also leads to a position in which hxg2/Bxg2 mate will be forced, dualized.

Best solution seems to be Bb5-f1, Sg6-e5. Then 1. Sg6! is the key. Not tested with a brute force mode, though.

An excellent problem that deserves to be rescued. (2009-04-11)

Laut AZW: "Erster und zweiter Preis geteilt im Problemturnier der Schachgesellschaft in Trollhättan 1925", laut YACPDB (id=268768) 1924.
SP: (1) The "C+" is an error. There is a dual 2.d3 in the thematic variation
1. ... c3.
(2) The dual was noticed in time and the problem disqualified (e.g.
RdSah xii/1925, p. 171). So 1st Pr went to Rduch alone, 2nd Pr Havel,
etc. Palkoska gives a correction in his 1928 collection making no
mention of a prize.
(3) Closing date 1/i/1925 (entries) and 1/iv/1925 (corrections). So
1925 is correct, though contemporary sources often give 1924-25. (2024-02-20)

An elongated version of P1372653 by four moves; the original origins are unknown

Move length record for a kindergarten problem
A.Buchanan: Any kind of assessment of soundness of this one? (2020-11-19)
James Malcom: Andrew, there is no doubt about the soundness. Sure, the ending may have a few duals, but those are generally acceptable in Blathy's correct work. Here is the proof.

All White pawns are immobile. The kingside mustn't move, or else Black breaks through and wins. Nor can a7, b2, or b6 without losing the winning chance.

The Black king is stuck, of course. The Black kindgside pawns are forever held up by White's, and the queenside ones can't move, or else Black would soon be in zugzwang and lose.

Lastly, the White king can't go after the Black pawn to shorten the game, or the Black queenside pawns must be tended to. If the White king reaches either e5 or f4, then Black plays b4!, threatening to queen soon. So the White king must hurry back, Black gets the White queen stuck as well, and it is a draw.

With a restricted White king to the given triangulation corridor, the Black king stuck, all pawns pawns frozen on their journeyes, the soundness is guranteed. (2020-11-19)
James Malcom: Furthermore, on move 99 with Black to move, chess.com analysis agrees with checkmate in move 112, albeit with a few move order corrections that I've just made. So it is still correct, with a Blathy style taste in duals. (2020-11-19)
Anton Baumann: Nach 99. - b4 gemäss Gustav noch 12 Züge; das ist #111.
