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."

'Kärtner VZ': "In Wien starb kürzlich im Alter von 81 Jahren der bekannte Altmeister der Problemkunst Otmar Nemo, der mit seinen geistreichen Schachkompositionen durch Jahrzehnte die Schachwelt entzückte und in Problemturnieren viele Preise gewann. Wir bringen heute einen seiner schönsten Dreizüger, der im Johann-Berger-Gedenkturnier 1936 in Wien mit dem ersten Preis ausgezeichnet wurde."
PR: "Reicher Inhalt, einheitliche Wirkung, da die Abspiele ungezwungenerweise fast alle auf schwarze Läuferzüge erfolgen, eleganter Aufbau, äußerste Ökonomie der Mittel und schöne Schlußstellungen zeichnen den ersten Preisträger aus."

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."

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)

'NDZ': "Mit den Schlüssel schenkt Weiß dem feindlichen König noch ein Fluchtfeld, und das ist recht unerwartet. Aber der Läufer wird die Diagonale e5-h2 kontrollieren müssen: davon hängen zwei der Matts ab."

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)

ebenso wie Shinkmans fast identisches P1057647 Einsendung zum Centennial-Turnier 1876-1877
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)

DIB: Zunächst erscheint es nahezu unbegreiflich, wie sich der isolierte sK drei Züge lang sollte behaupten können, aber bald erkennt man, daß die exponierte Lage des wK dem Gegner raffiniert ausgeklügelte Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten verschafft.

'VossZ' 02.04.1922: Das Ziel ist ersichtlich: Schwarz muß zu Tg8 oder Th7 gezwungen werden, damit Td4 matt setzen kann. Hierzu ist es nötig, Sb2 abzufangen. Das wäre einfach, wenn Schwarz am Zuge. Da aber Weiß ziehen muß, so hat Schwarz nach den meisten Zügen die Möglichkeit, Td4 auf eine Reihe zu locken, von der aus ihm die 8. Reihe oder die h-Reihe versperrt ist. Z.B. 1. Sd5 Sd3! 2. Txd3 Th7 oder 1. Sc8 Sc4! oder 1. Le3 Sd3! 2. Txd3 Tg8 oder 1. Lg1 Sd1! Und 1. Sc4 scheitert an Sa4. Aber 1. Sa4!, und wohin auch Sb2 zieht, der T hat, nachdem er ihn geschlagen, nach der 8. Reihe und nach der h-Reihe freie Bahn. Die weißen Figuren Sb6 und Lf2 wirken im Mattbild nicht mit, erschweren vielmehr das Matt, und in der Überwindung der von ihnen geschaffenen Hemmnisse besteht die Idee.

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)

'DAZ': "Bahnung und Linienräumung"
'Arbeiterwille': "Eine feine Darstellung der Räumungsidee!"

'DAZ' gibt als Quelle "Düsseldorfer Nachrichten 1921" an

'Die Bastion': "Unser heutiger Dreizüger ist eines der schwierigsten Problem der neueren Schachliteratur. Schon in vielen Lösungsturnieren hat das Stück Verzweiflung hervorgerufen und nur Wenige haben es bezwungen."
Felber, Volker: Die AZC schreibt am 26.05.1929: 'In Nr. 960, mit welcher die von Dr. Schlüter bis zu seiner Erkrankung (11. November 1928) fortgeführte Nummerierung wieder aufgenommen wird...'

play all play one stop play next play all
'SSZ' 07/1941: "In der eleganten Nr. VI lauten die Probespiele 1. Lb2?, Sa5!, 1. Lc3? Sc5!, 1. Ld4? Sd6!, 1. Le5? Sc5!, 1.Lf6? Sd6! und 1.Lh8? Sd8! Nach Brunner müssen die Rechtecke mit den Ecken a2-d2-d8-a8 und a5-a8~h8-h5 freibleiben, also 1. Lg7-a1! Ja, aber warum hat er den Lg7 nicht auf h8 gestellt? 1. Lh8-a1 wäre doch ein noch feíner Einleitungszug gewesen? Antwort: dann wäre 1. Lg7l Nebenlösung. Die 7. Reihe braucht gar nicht frei zu bleiben. Mit der „Flächenfreihaltung“ ist es also hier nichts."

Brunnerbuch S.73: "Das Tummelfeld des Schachspielers ist das Brett mit seinen 64 Feldern. Wenn man vom Komponisten erwartet, daß er das Gebot der "Raumökonomie" beachte, so will das nicht heißen, er möge mit dem Raum sparsam umgehen und von den 64 Feldern möglichst wenige beanspruchen. Im Gegenteil! Wenn er von uns erwartet, daß wir das ganze Brett zu Hilfe nehmen, so erwarten wir von ihm, daß er diesen großen Raum auch möglichst voll ausnutze. Das haben wenige so sehr beherzigt wie Erich Brunner. Er hat es verstanden, mit wenig Steinen ein Maximum von Linien und durch Linien begrenzte Flächen auszuwerten. Das kommt gleich im ersten Beispiel Nr. 119 prächtig zur Geltung. Auf 1. ... Kxg2 erfolgt Turmmatt auf der 2. Reihe und auf 1. ... hxg2 Turmmatt auf der h-Linie. Es genügt also, im zweiten Zug den Springer zu schlagen. Dazu steht Weiß bereit; er muß nur mit dem Lg-7 einen Wartezug ausführen, jedoch so, daß er keine Turmlinie sperrt. Das wäre der Fall bei den Versuchen 1. Lb2,Lc3,Ld4,Le5,Lf6,Lf8,Lh6,Lh8, daher

Nr.119 1. Lg7-a1 Sa5,Sc5,Sd6,Sd8 2. Txa5,TxS

Der künstlerische Gehalt liegt nicht allein in der Lösung, sondern in noch höherem Maße in den ideegemäßen Verführungen. Das gilt für alle Aufgaben dieser Gruppe. Die Lösungen für sich wirken eher nüchtern. Sie benutzen mit Vorliebe den Brettrand, weil man dort leichter der Gefahr, eine unentbehrliche Linie zu sperren, entgeht."
Motto: "Stars and Stripes IIIa"

Einige Nachdrucke (darunter z.B. der 'Schachexpress (DBSB)', '2345 Chess Problems' und Ehn/Kastner, 'Schachkompositionen', humboldt 2013) geben fälschlich 1912 als Urdruckjahr an.

Zum VI. Dreizügerturnier von 'Skakbladet' sandte Brunner "6 Bewerbungen, mußte sich aber mit zwei magern ehrenden Erwähnungen begnügen." ('SSZ' 07/1941; gemeint sind diese Aufgabe und Pxxxxxxx). PR waren Niels Høeg og J. Møller.
Im Preisbericht in 'Skakbladet' 02/1920, S.85ff heißt es zur Auszeichnung nur: "Hædrende Omtale" [ohne Nr./Rangfolge! - diese könnte sich maximal durch die Reihenfolge der Diagramme ergeben, dann hätte diese Aufgabe die 1.ehr.Erw.]

'SSZ' 06/2006: "... zeigt die selten bleibende Darstellung [der Flächenfreihaltung] mit dem wL, wovon es höchstens eine Hand voll gibt."

A.Buchanan: PDB gives us very little flexibility for describing the quality of problems. I suppose we should record duals in the "Cook" field for now. Everyone would agree that the trial is a defect. But duals are not cooks, and even if we accept that "Cooked" is PDB-speak for "Unsound" for now, it would go against the view of many problemists to mark this celebrated problem as unsound. It would also violate Codex Section III https://www.wfcc.ch/1999-2012/codex/#c3. (2021-11-07)
