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."

A.C. White: "He [Loyd] cared little for the means he used, so long as his results were successful. And, strangely enough, it almost seems as though his results were increasingly successful and all the more artistic when he took the most radical liberties with the conventional theories of composition. ... It is certainly not considered good form to reply to a check by Black with a direct capture. To do so is recognised as crude, obvious and unscientific. But Loyd's genius thought little of theory, giving all its attention to practice. And his results justified his independence. These problems are among his very best. The key of No. 581 is one of the most puzzling in all two-move composition, subtle, artistic and scientific in the highest measure; and the mates blend with it most beautifully."

'Sam Loyd and his chess Problems': "The interception of the line of action of the Black pieces by White leads to some pretty effects, but in general they are less striking than the effects produced by a similar interception by Black. The reason for this doubtless is that when the Blacks interfere with their own pieces they do so against their will, because the enemy has in some way or other lured or forced them into a trap. On the other hand when it is White who interferes with Black, it is usually a case of direct attack combined with malice aforethought. It may be cleverly devised and it may be well hidden, but a theme which depends for its effect mainly on the moves of White's attack can never have the charm or the unexpectedness of one which is developed through the defensive efforts of Black. Take No. 436 It is clear that removing the White Rook threatens 2 Qb1 mate. Black's obvious replies would be 1. ... B x P or 1. ... P x Q. This readily suggests 1. Rc6 to be the key, because in no other way could White give the two necessary diagonal mates (2. QxP mate and 2. PxB=Q mate) which the Black Queen and Rooks are all in position to defeat. A cut-off key of this sort is better disguised in a three-move problem, as the Black defenses that have to be prevented are less easily seen."

Das Problem erschien schon in 'American Chess Nuts', 1868, deshalb kann Whites Anmerkung über die Entstehungsgeschichte in 'Sam Loyd and his Chess Problems' nicht stimmen: "True line clearance, in the sense in which Healey used it in his famous Bristol problem of 1861 (P1036903), only occurs in one of Loyd's problems. He defined the theme as that of " withdrawing a piece to a remote quarter, out of play, to allow of the bringing forward of another on the same line " (Str., p. 81). The theme is clearly one in two moves, unless we consider thematic (as many people do) an intermediate move between the clearance and the mate similar to that employed by Healey. Loyd first posed his problem as a three-mover also (No. 498, s.P1055458). His introductory moves served to vacate both the squares b6 and c5 in the final line of mate a7-g1, and in a sense they were thematic, though totally different from Healey's. They were not sufficiently meritorious, however, in his own judgment, to be justified at the cost of the two extra Pawns, and he almost immediately republished the problem as a two-mover (No. 499), in which form it has ever since been known.
Several other two-move renderings of the Rook line clearance, which have been republished at various times under Loyd's name (s. z.B. P1277364), though closely akin to No. 499 in execution, are not by Loyd at all, but are later settings by other composers."
