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)

vf: Oskar Rittershofer, 15.11.1972, Schach-Echo

Zum Autor schreibt 'Schachsport': "Rund 17 Jahre lang (etwa 1955-1972) hat Gerald Sladek, Vöest-Angestellter, Schachprobleme produziert; Aufgaben, die größtenteils Aufsehen erregten und ihm national wie international Anerkennung und zahlreiche Turnierpreise einbrachten. In seiner Glanzzeit zäh1te Sladek zu den führenden Komponisten unseres Landes, manche seiner raffiniert-verschmitzten Aufgaben wurden von den Ratefüchsen für unlösbar gehalten - das ist Qualitätsbeweis genug.
Im Heft 5/86 von 'Schach+aktiv' hat F. Chlubna den ganz individuellen Stil des Linzer Meisters treffend wiedergegeben.
Obwohl auch Sladek Mitbegründer der 'Linzer Problemrunde' war und nebenbei zwei Problemspalten in angesehenen Tageszeitungen redigiert, ist er - seit 1972 - leider nicht mehr 'problemaktiv' geworden.
Ob der einstige 'Problemlöwe' - vielleicht im Ruhestand neu motiviert - wieder 'rückfällig' werden kann?
Die Problemwelt wäre sicher dankbar; diesbezügliche Anstrengungen werden auch von seiten der Linzer Problemrunde - bisher leider vergeblich! - unternommen."

In der AZW mit folgender Forderung veröffentlicht: "Weiß hat Matt in vier Zügen angekündigt, Schwarz behauptet, daß dies nicht möglich sei. Wer hat recht?"

Die Aufgabe hat vermutlich S.Loyd zu seinem "Stuck Steinitz"-Problem (P1055026) angeregt, s. A.C.White in "Sam Loyd and his chess problems", S.321: "Probably the most famous of early Stalemate Tries is an amusing little five-mover by Kohtz and Kockelkorn, which Loyd very possibly had in mind."

'DAZ'-Lösetip: "D- und T-Züge [führen] nicht zum Ziele. Ein K-Zug - es käme nur Kxg7 in Frage - würde an der Stellung nichts ändern; bleibt also nur 1. f7-f8. Aber was wird der Bauer? Eine D würde den Schwarzen patt setzen; T u. S. lassen den K nach d6 entweichen, also 1. f7-f8=L. Dadurch wird dem K das Feld d6 genommen und Te8 preisgegeben. ... Mit dem Bauern in die Dame zu gehen, ist nicht immer der stärkste Zug."
