athulin: First publication:
Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, v. 4, i. 5 (1886-02-15), p. 79, tourney prb. 7

The problem won '2nd prize for 2#', but in difference to the 1st prize for #2 it was not awarded by the judges, who did have the authority to do so. Instead they gave the problem a honorary mention, and the tourney management awarded it the '2nd Pr. for #2'. (2022-12-15)

[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."

If White checks with his Knights on any of the four squares, Black recaptures with check. The key-move induces Black to defeat the threat by closing each of his checking lines in turn, when White's second moves can open lines for the Queen mates. The quiet threat which is forced only by Q-R2 and P-R6, takes some finding.

Authors: Grupen, A
Sources:
Years: 1928
TODO: Quelle prüfen - weder bei visueller Prüfung noch im Schwalbe-Index für die Jahre 1928-1930 konnte die Aufgabe gefunden werden.

Das Rätsel ist gelöst: Die Aufgabe erschien nicht in der Schwalbe im Jahr 1928, sondern in einem Sonderheft der Schwalbe am 06.07.1965 als Widmungsaufgabe von AG zum 70. Geburtstag von Dr. Wilhelm Massmann mit der Problemnummer(!) 1928. Den Abdruck dieser Aufgabe fand Carsten Ehlers.

Die Quelldaten in der PDB sind nun richtiggestellt worden.
