Urdruck-Jahr unklar. Die meisten Quellen (incl. 'Comoedia', '2345 Chess Problems' und vor allem 'Crumbs from the Chess-board by C.A.Gilberg himself!') geben "Danbury News 1881" als Originalquelle an. Das kann aber nicht stimmen, da bereits im 1878 erschienenen 'Chess Chips' [J.P. Taylor] nachgedruckt mit dem Vermerk "Prize for best two-mover, Danbury News"!
1866 stammt aus der PS+-DB (Ettl, id=46418).
A.Buchanan: The half-pinned bQ threatens to capture wRd1, and to check wK an unprovided check if wR shifts. Therefore, look for keys which protect wRd1. The "pins" targeting e6 are very suspicious, and suggest that wQ must move to allow bK to retreat there. Must be possible to extend this idea to 4 pinned pieces covering f5, although mating piece would have to be pawn. (2016-11-24)
athulin: The date of the tournament should be 1877 -- The first Danbury News Tourney (in distinction from their earlier buying problems) concerned problems sent in between August and September of 1877.
(See Hartford Times for the date 1887-08-02 at www.chessarch.com in the excavations section).

As only one prize was offered for #2 and one for #3, it may be clearer to describe the award as
'best #2' or 'prize #2', as the '1.' seems to suggests there may be additional prizes (2. 3., ... and so on) (2022-04-20)
athulin: Sorry ... See Hartford Times for the date *1877-08-02* ... (2022-04-20)
