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)

Autorschaft und Urquelle aus YACPDB (id=275483) übernommen (unter der Annahme, daß Johann K. Behting = Betinš, Janis). In 'Austrums' heißt der Autor: Jan Betin, Riga.
Das "Íslenskt Skákblað" schreibt: "Eftirfarandi tafllok hefir fyrverandi póstmeistari Fr. Möller (heiðursfjelagi í Skákfjelagi Akureyrar) látið oss í tje. Hefir hann geymt þessi tafllok í minni, en glatað höfundarheitinu. Hefir hann látið þess getið, að erfitt myndi að ráða þessa þraut."

Die Studie wurde vermutlich inspiriert durch eine tatsächlich gespielte Partie, in der evtl. folgende Stellung eine Rolle spielte: 8/8/5K1k/8/8/8/4B1p1/6Bb

Auch 'Suomen Shakki' gibt "Behting" als Autor an.
