aus "Sam Loyd and his Chess Problems":
"CHARLES XII. AT BENDER."
The most famous of the Fiske-Loyd stories, and probably the best problem tale ever written, is the sketch: Charles XII. at Bender.
It has appeared in print, since the original publication in the Chess Monthly, in March, 1859, in every conceivable form and language.
In the volume of Fiske's Tales are mentioned the translations into Swedish verse, by J. G. Schultz 1868, into Danish 1876, into Italian by M. Monzecchi 1901, and into Icelandic 1901, and certainly other renderings abound. J. A. Miles put the story into English verse in his Chess Gems, 1860. "Much of the interest attaching to the piece," wrote Mr. Fiske in 1901, "is owing to the problems, which form as it were the gist of the narrative. They were suggested by the writer of the sketch to Mr. Samuel Loyd, the most ingenious and brilliant of all problem composers, who was then in his eighteenth year. The three problems were soon forthcoming, composed in a single afternoon."
The story introduces an imaginary incident during the siege of Charles the Twelfth of Sweden by the Turks at Bender in 1713. Charles beguiled this period by means of drills and chess, and used frequently to play with his minister, Christian Albert Grothusen, some of the contests being mentioned by Voltaire. One day while so engaged, the game had advanced to the stage represented in P1030415, and Charles (White) had just announced mate in three. Scarcely had he uttered the words, when a Turkish bullet, shattering the window, dashed the White Knight off the board in fragments. Grothusen started violently, but Charles, with the utmost coolness, begged him to put back the other Knight and work out the mate, observing that it was pretty enough. But another glance at the board made Charles smile: "We do not need the Knight. I can give it to you, and still mate in four!" (P1037289). Who would believe it, he had barely spoken when a second bullet flew across the room, and the Pawn at h2 shared the fate of the Knight. Grothusen turned pale. "You have our good friends the Turks with you," said the King, unconcerned, "it can scarcely be expected that I should contend against such odds; but let me see if I cannot dispense with that unlucky Pawn. I have it!" he shouted, with a tremendous laugh, "I feel great pleasure in informing you that there is undoubtedly a mate in five" (P1159789). Nor would Charles permit Grothusen to leave till he had solved the problem.
It is perhaps not very remarkable that the minister, fearful of a repetition of such chess battles, left the encampment the next day and joined the Swedes, who took sides with the enemy.
In the original three-mover, F. Amelung has pointed out, in the Baltische Schachblätter, 1900 [Heft 7, S. 274], that if the first bullet had destroyed the Rook instead of the Knight, Charles would have had an equal opportunity of showing his analytical powers by announcing a mate in six (P1159308)!

Henrik Juel: Mario, many of the years in your english text are rendered in a funny way, with i or I instead of 1 and o instead of 0, e.g. 'into Italian by M. Monzecchi igoi', where igoi probably means 1901 (2022-05-23)

A.C.WHite in 'Sam Loyd and his Chess Problems' (p.23): " I think the three-mover of the winning set can hold its own against any other seven-piece miniature that has been composed since, for difficulty, variety of ideas, and general beauty.
Loyd said of it in the Strategy (p.43): "No. 14 was a haphazard, impromptu little fellow that I composed in an instant and entered in the Chess Monthly Tournament, and never appreciated it until it received the first prize, since which time it has become my most famous problem, and is continually referred to as a difficult and beautiful problem that conflicts with all the established views of composition."
And more recently: "No. 14 was an impromptu posed for Paul Morphy, who complimented it highly. It won the Chess Monthly prize, and has been a popular favourite for many years as showing four different styles of composition in the variations: the brilliant Queen sacrifice, the strategic play with Knight, the waiting principle, and the long flights of the Rook" (MS.).
One of the things Loyd showed me the last time I saw him (p.135) was this very position. "You remember this," he said, setting it up.
"Now look here," and he moved the White King to b6, the Queen to c5, the Black King to f1, the Bishop's Pawn to h4, and added Black Pawns at d5 and e7. "What do you make of this? Why, it is evidently a four-mover. 1. Qc2 Kg2, and you have my problem. There are variations if the King moves to e1 or g1. Now, a German composer published this under his own name and never said 'by your leave.' He objected to a check on the first move, probably, but he has spoiled the whole thing by putting that Pawn at h4. It prevents the best variation of all in my problem: 1. Sg4+ Kh3; 2. Sh2; while he simply repeats the Queen sacrifice. The only merit of the four-mover is that my key, 1. Sg4, still makes a very fair try, though of course, 1. ... Pd4 would defeat it."
