Henrik Juel: The only possible last move is b2-b4, so the ep key is permissible
C+ Popeye 4.61 (2021-07-26)
A.Buchanan: The main idea is to unblock the cluttered 4th rank, and this is complemented thematically by *blocking* four other lines: g8-g4, h8-h4, h8-d4 & "blocking the blocker" h6-f4.
The last move was b2-b4, so by the ep rule, capture is definitely legal. The convention only serves to resolve ambiguous situations where multiple possible histories exist. In retro problems, such ambiguity is rare if the retro logic does its job. However the pessimistic nature of the e.p. convention motivates *why* the retro play must exist. (2021-07-26)

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."

'Schachsport': "Eine reizende Demonstration zum Thema 'Flächenfreihaltung' ... Der Le6 hält der weißen Dame die nötigen Linien frei."
'Schachsport' zum Autor: "Dr. Lepuschütz verstand es wie kaum ein zweiter, logische Zusammenhänge in ästethisch-wirkungsvoller Weise zu realisieren. Mit diesem eleganten Stil - Grazer Schule genannt - hat sich Lepuschütz in der ganzen Welt zahlreiche Preise bzw. Anerkennungen aller Art verschafft.
Sein Name ist untrennbar mit dem Aufstieg des Problemschachs in Österreich verbunden."

Der 'Vorwärts' erläutert die Lösung: "Der erste Zug der Lösung ist: 1. Le7-d6. Hierauf hat Schwarz die Antworten:Lxd7,Lf7,Kxd6,Kf6 und Lg6. Jede dieser fünf Möglichkeiten gibt zu einem anderen Zweizüger Gelegenheit. Und zwar wie folgt:1......Lxd7; 2.e5,L~; 3.Te7#. Oder 1.....Lf7; 2. d8D (macht eine Dame),~; 3.De7# Oder 1.....Kxd6; 2.dxe8T!, (macht einen Turm!....Bei jeder anderen Verwandlung würde das erforderliche Mat im nächsten Zuge nicht zu erzwingen sein) 2. ... Kc6; 3. Te6# Oder 1. .....Kxf6 2.dxe8L! (Nur ein Läufer ist hier erfolgreich) 2......Ke6; 3.Th6# Oder endlich 1......Lg6; 2.d8S+ (Jede andere Figur würde die Antwort Lxe4+ zulassen) 2......Kxd6 (Bzw.2......Kf6; 3.Sd5#); 3.So4#. Die Idee des Problems besteht darin zu zeigen, wann es unter Umständen vorteilhaft sein kann, bei einer Bauernverwandlung statt einer starken Dame sich eine schwächere Figur zu wählen, und zwar sollen alle 4 Möglichkeiten (D,T,L und S) aus einer und derselben Position entspringen. Da die Wahl der Verwandlungsart erst durch den betreffenden Zug von Schwarz bestimmt wird, kann die Verwandlung augenscheinlich nicht im ersten Zuge von Weiß geschehen. Da aber mindestens ein Springer (und auch diese Verwandlungsart soll doch laut der Grundidee der Komponisten dargestellt sein) in einer von anderen Figuren verschiedenen Distanz „Schach" sagt, kann augenscheinlich die Verwandlung auch nicht im letzten Zuge der Lösung (im „Schach"-Mattzuge) erfolgen. Die Verwandlung muß also zwischen dem ersten und dem letzten Zuge der Lösung stattfinden. Demnach ist klar, daß die interessante Idee des obigen Problems in einem Zweizüger gar nicht dargestellt werden kann! Die allerkürzeste Form einer derartigen Ideen-Darstellung kann also nur ein Dreizüger sein."

[AZW]: Der wS spielt nicht mit, er hat nur den Zweck, den sT zu verstellen.
1.Preis The Wanderer (Milwaukee) 1886; Einsendungsmotto: "Tit for Tat"

[BCM, 1886, S.70]: "The monthly column is an important feature in a new Illustrated Magazine entitled "The Wanderer," published at Milwaukee, price $1 a year, and devoted to the interests of the travelling public. The Chess contents are so thoroughly good in every way that we recommend our readers to write for a copy ..."

[ACM]: "A marked specialty of his work, which will serve as a faithful index of his style, is his constant predilection to elaborate the powers and functions of the pawn. This peculiarity, conjoined with an active use of the white king, can be traced through many of his finest problems. We will venture to illustrate with a few examples, commencing with the first prize winner of the Wanderer tourney, Milwaukee, 1887."

athulin: Again, to avoid confusion it may be better to state that
it was a prize shared with S. D. Sturgis, and T. Taverner (another
problem).

First publ. Chess Journal, i. 121 (Mar., 1889), p. 79, tourney prb. 79.

Two of the judges noted the similarity with Loyd's problem:
Carpenter considered it was legitimate, and gave it 1 pr, Elson
considered it based on Loyd's problem, and not entitled to any
award. (2022-05-31)

Alfred Pfeiffer: Autorname "Ingeborg" ist vermutlich ein Pseudonym. Dazu Jan Kalendovský in http://web.telecom.cz/vaclav.kotesovec/kalendovsky_ingeborg.pdf (tschechisch). Das Diagramm in diesem PDF hat zusätzlich wBd7 und sBh5. (2014-02-28)
Mario Richter: Wegen P1287960 und P1288082 liegt die Vermutung nahe, daß "Ingeborg in Prossnitz" ein Pseudonym von Ottmar Nemo und/oder Max Feigl ist. (2018-07-28)

Lösungskommentar aus der AZW: Probleme, bei denen nicht Schwarz, sondern Weiß im Zugzwang ist, bereiten in aller Regel großes Kopfzerbrechen. Sie erfordern den Mut, den Schwarzen scheinbar entwischen zu lassen, nur um ihm dann um so radikaler die Schlinge um den Hals zu legen.
Satz: 1. ... Se5/Sf6/Se1~ 2.Sf6/Tc7/Df3# Lösung: 1. Se2 Sd3/Sf3 2. Sc3/Sg3# An Stelle der ursprünglich primitiven Matts sind nun zwei prächtige Echomatts getreten. Man nennt diese Problemgattung "White to play" (Weiß muß anfangen).
In der AZW als "Original für die Arbeiter-Zeitung" veröffentlicht.

athulin: Actually, this is from the Cleveland Leader tourney, which closed (i.e. with last date for contributions) in Sept. 1876 for US participants. (Report was printed in Cleveland Sunday Morning Voice on 1877-11-18?) It was published under the motto "Just for Fun" as enigma "Tourney Problem 17" in Cleveland Leader on 1876-12-07? [? after dates because cutting book only has hand-written dates, and so risks inaccuracies].

The reference to the Centennial Tourney is incorrect, probably a misinterpretation of the current source reference. (2022-01-04)
Mario Richter: @anders: The reference to the Centennial Tourney comes from 'The Golden Argosy', p. 217:
"Both problems Nos. 291 [Shinkman's P1057647] and 291A [this problem, i.e Loyd's P1030677] were entered in the same tourney, in which Loyd's set won the second prize. ... No. 291A. S. Loyd. second Prize, Centennial ty., 1876-77" (2022-01-04)
SP: I can verify publication date of 7/xii/1876. Cleveland library has
cutting that includes printed date.
The source of the attribution error appears to be the Golden Argosy,
as Mario says. This is repeated by other sources such as Howard. (2023-06-01)
