A.C.White: "LOYD lived up to his profession that others were welcome to reproduce and improve his themes better than some writers are wont to do.
There are dozens of instances on record where his problems closely anticipate later work by other composers, but I have seldom found that he made any objection thereto. On the whole I think he had a certain feeling of pride that others should follow in his footsteps twenty or fifty years after him. More than once I have shown him versions by distinguished modern composers, and he would laugh and say: " Has So-and-so really just published that ? Why, I made it when I was eighteen." It is impossible to refer to all these cases in such a book as this. No. 273 is a single striking instance among many, which I discussed at some length in the British Chess Magazine for February, 1910."

Set: "Fancies" - Centennial Tourney

5-fach fluchtfeldgebender Schlüssel
Loyd in 'Chess Strategy': "The object of a problem, therefore, being to capture and mate the King, we find a peculiar beauty and difficulty in moves that have an adverse tendency. Take for example the question of capturing the King, we find that a move that frees, instead of confining the King, gives a brilliancy and difficulty to the position that could not be obtained through the medium of any other key move. In 406, the King, being already hedged in, it makes a very pretty key move to give him five avenues of escape."

athulin: While this problem won a prize, it was not the 1st prize, which went to the set by Finlinson. Instead it was a special prize for the best #2 of the tourney. (2021-07-28)

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)

Simple Two-move Themes 1924
Years: 1899

Laut 'Simple Two-move Themes' ist die Originalquelle "Deutsches Wochenschach, Dec. 3, 1899", was aber offensichtlich wegen des früheren Veröffentlichungstermins in 'Austrum' nicht stimmen kann.
Die Information "after B.M. Neill 1881" stammt auch aus 'Simple Two-move Themes'.

athulin: a) This problem won the *first* prize .
b) The tourney book reprints the problem *mirrored,*( i.e. with wKf8.
c) The tourney was a correction tourney, so this is a *correction* of a problem printed
in Chess Journal up to June 1871. Thus, Carpenter is not the sole author but unfortunately
the tourney book does not identify the original of which this is a correction. (I
suspect it might be a correction of E. H Courtenay's attempt at correcting Alexandre's #2 nr. 1,
but ... . Courtenay's problem is v. 2, i. 15 (May, 1871), p. 130, prb. 111. (2022-07-18)

Zitat aus der WHZ: 'Der Verfasser dieser zierlichen Aufgabe ist, wie das "Rigaer Tageblatt" mitteilt, ein 13jähriger Knabe'.

KAL Kubbel wurde am 25.12.1891 geboren, was auf ein falsches 'Knabenalter' oder auf ein falsches Jahr beim Rigaer Tageblatt hindeutet.
Mario Richter: ????????? ?????? ?.?.??????? (Moskau, 1958; S.44, Problem Nr.101) nennt auch 1905 als Publikationsdatum.
(Btw., bei russichen Datumsangaben aus der Zarenzeit ist wegen des anderen Kalenders immer ein bißchen Vorsicht angesagt, gerade bei Daten rund um den Jahreswechsel.) (2011-11-26)
Mario Richter: Trotz "charset=utf-8" erscheinen jetzt wieder "???...". Deshalb nochmal die Sekundärquelle in transkription: "Isbrannije Sadatschij L.I.Kubbelja" (2011-11-26)

'Zürcher Illustrierte' 03.01.1930: "In Nr. 5 stellt man vorerst fest, daß mit Damenschachs auf der Diagonale a1—h8 nichts auszurichten ist, daß es sich also um ein Zugzwangsproblem handelt. Es ist somit das Feld für die Dame zu suchen, von dem aus auf jeden Bauernzug (der König steht patt) die Mattsetzung erfolgen kann. Versuche mit Dxd5, De6 und Aehnlichem auf die unterste Reihe zu gelangen, erweisen sich wegen 1... b2 als zwecklos. Verläßt die Dame aber sonstwie die Diagonale a8—h1, so zieht Schwarz einfach d4. Db7 scheitert wiederum an c3. Es bleibt also nur Da8, das neben der Variante Dh1 (auf d4) noch zwei hübsche Abzugsschachs gestattet, nämlich Kxb3 (auf c3) und das witzige Kb4 (auf b2)."

'Zürcher Illustrierte' 03.01.1930: "Anleitung zur Lösung:: Die Stellung ohne die Figuren zu ziehen. Das Matt Dh6 ist ersichtlich für den Fall, daß Tg7 oder ein Läuferzug auf der Diagonale f8—a3 geschieht. Bei anderen Schachgeboten mit der Dame steht der Bauer g5 ein, dessen Rolle abzuklären ist. Wird er gezogen? Wohl winkt auf 1. g6 Txg6 das schöne Dh4, allein 1.... Tg7 verhindert jedes Matt im nächsten Zuge. Darf der Bauer somit nicht gezogen werden, so muß man ihn logischerweise im ersten Zuge decken und zwar nicht mit Lf4, weil so die f-Linie für Damenzüge unterbunden wird. Mit 1. Lh4 gerät Schwarz in Zugzwang und es erscheinen reizende Mattbilder. —
Daß der Läufer nicht in Richtung a3 marschieren darf, hatten wir gleich entdeckt. Daß er nicht nach h6 darf, ist auch klar. Lg7 aber unterbindet die Wirkung von Tg8 (2. Df7). Noch reizvoller sind die Mattbilder nach Turmzügen. Man versuche sie logisch zu konstruieren auf Tg7 (Unterbindung der Läuferwirkung), Tg6 (Blockierung des Fluchtfeldes g6), und Th8 (Verzicht auf die Beherrschung von g6)."

'Schachsport': "Ein raffinierter Schwenk der weißen Dame bringt den schwarzen Monarchen zu Fall. ... Die schwarzen Königszüge haben zwei Springerabzüge (Batterien) zur Folge.
Die Bauernzüge werden als Blocks genutzt."

'Schachsport' zum Autor: "Ottavio Stocchi (1906-1964), Gutsverwalter, geboren und gestorben in Langhirano (Italien), war einer der erfolgreichsten Problemkomponisten. Mehr als l000(!) Schachprobleme hat der Italiener produziert.
Ein bekanntes Thema - der Stocchi-Block - wurde nach ihm (als Erstdarsteller) benannt. (für ein Beispiel s. P1325393)
Stocchi erlangte vor allem a1s Zweizügerkomponist Weltruf."
