'Sam Loyd and his Chess Problems' ist sich bei der Quelle nicht sicher und gibt an: "Elizabeth Herald, c. 1890?", 'Der Schachzug' gibt an: "'Chess Magazine', 1878". Die 'Philadelphia Times' schreibt: "The following problem by Mr. Samuel Loyd, originally published in the New York 'Evening Telegram' and reprinted in the 'International' ..."

'New York Evening Telegram' (Leiter der Schachrubrik "Castles and Kings": Sam Loyd):
Composers not infrequently get the idea of the trick for a problem by first placing the black king on the board alone and adding the other pieces one at a time as the problem becomes developed during the course of construction. Sometimes the relative positions of the kings will suggest a good theme to build upon. During a recent visit to the New York Chess Club our chess editor was invited to compose an impromptu position for the members to solve, and the placing of the two kings in opposite corners of the board - as shown on the diagram - was given as a theme to work upon. The position of the pieces illustrates the group of solvers in one corner, and the author in another awaiting the arrival of the solution, which, by the way, he will add, wass not so spontaneous as the composing. It is a crude affair, but is thought to give evidence of latent genius which may yet come to the surface. While referring to the placing of the kings, we give our readers another little puzzle in the same line [s. P1364636], which they will find both amusing and instructive ..."

White schreibt in 'Tasks & Echoes': "Here we have another type of consecutive White piece journeys quite different from the Merry-Go-Rounds ... No. 11 is a well placed example of the Staircase theme, though by no means the earliest in date. The White Queen starts from the ground floor of her house, and goes slowly upstairs to the very top. She then throws herself out of the window to the street below, possibly with a view to suicide; and surprises herself as much as anybody else to find that by so doing she has really succeeded in mating her old enemy, the Black King, who has been kicking his heels on the street corner."
In "Tasks & Echos" mit der Forderung '#12' veröffentlicht. Ebenso im Schach-Echo 1936.

s.a. die Miniaturfassung P1139596 .

Weiterer Nachdruck in "Mitchell's Guide to the game of chess" (1915, S.81)
Mario Richter: Die Information über die Urquelle stammt aus der YACPDB (id=67598). Bei meiner eigenen Recherche im entsprechenden Jahrgang des 'Dubuque Chess J.' habe ich das Problem dort aber nicht gefunden. Wer prüft nochmal nach? (2011-12-17)

James Malcom: This seems computer testable, excluding the minor duals that there are. (2020-11-18)
Olaf Jenkner: Yes, Gustav gives 65 duals in less than one second. (2020-11-18)
James Malcom: But seeing as how that is part of the intention, clearly, and this is still a widely accepted and reprinted problem, is it C+ with the duals in mind as allowed? (2020-11-19)
SP: Though many problems exist where unsoundness is part of the intention, such as separators in solving tourneys, this is obviously not the case here. Are you seriously suggesting that if Bláthy could show his idea without the duals he would not have done so? (2023-07-10)
Olaf Jenkner: It's an old question what C+ means.
There are promotion duals, triangle manoevres and other stuff what we call "tolerated duals".
In this case I'd think C+ means "computer confirmed the author's intention".
It's different from FIDE rules. (2023-07-10)

Motto: "Die Schlacht"

K.Fabel schreibt: "vor 1910" (vermutlich das Datum einer Sekundärquelle). Da Sardotsch bereits 1898 gestorben ist, dürfte das Original-Publikationsdatum noch weiter in der Vergangenheit liegen.
Englischsprachige Problemzeitschriften schreiben den Vornamen des Komponisten übrigens "Nicholas" und lassen ihn Österreicher (aus Triest) sein, der zeitweise in Italien lebte.

'Die Bastion': "Zu vorstehendem Problem, welches erstmalig in der 'Pittsburgh Gazette Times' 1916 erschien, schreibt Dr. E. Birgfeld nachfolgende Geschichte:
"Verbrecherjagd im Wolkenkratzer.
Dem König der Bankräuber ist die Polizei endlich auf den Fersen. Während zwei Patrouillen mit vorgestreckten Brownings die Hehler- u. Stehlerbande in Schach halten, geht die wilde Jagd treppauf, Stockwerk um Stockwerk empor. Immer näher kommt der Häscher, immer atemloser wird der Flüchtling. Da, das rettende Dach! Nun der tollkühne Sprung zum Nachbarhaus. Aber was ist das? Sein eigenes Weib hält ihn wimmernd zurück. Mit unterdrücktem Wutgeschrei reißt er sich los. Zu spät!"

Lösungsturnier des Aussiger Tagblattes 3. Folge 1931

'Aussiger Tagblatt': "Herr Dr. Ing. Karl F a b e l, dessen Problemkunst durch die 4. Notverordnung arg in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde, stellte uns in liebenswürdiger Weise seine jüngste Aufgabe als Silvesterdreier freundlichst zur Verfügung. Die starken Waffen, Dame und Turm musste er der Not gehorchend abliefern und zur größten Sparsamkeit im Figurenmaterial angehalten, blieb ihm kein anderer Ausweg offen, als die noch nicht ablieferungspflichtigen Bauern zu Ersatzoffizieren avancieren zu lassen. Trotz aller Not jedoch hat sein findiger Kopf einen „fabelhaften“ Dreier hervorgebracht, für dessen Überlassung wir herzlichst danken."

Unterverwandlung, Springer. In Bezug auf die 'Notverordnung' kalauerndes Umwandlungsproblemchen als Silvesterdreier: mindestens hier wurde zum Jahreswechsel 1931/1932 bereits der Kalauer “fabelhaft” bemüht! [he]. Selbstverständlicher Schlüssel... Bruch der Konvention < [EZ].

Motto: The Arrow

Loyd: 368 was a little bagatelle I posed in the shape of an arrow,
and sent to a friend, who, from the nature of the solution, christened it 'Peek a Bo', and has shown it for years as the most funny problem he ever saw. My friend used to bet that no one could solve this problem without taking back a move".
(Laut A.C.White handelte es sich bei diesem Freund um Capt. Mackenzie.)
