Thema ist die sog."Queen's Cross" (Damenkreuz) Häufungsaufgabe.
Werden die Felder b5,d5,d7e7,e5,g5,g4,e4,e2,d2,d4,b4,b5 durch einen Strich
miteinander verbunden, ergibt sich eine zwanzig Felder umfassende Kreuzform.
Befinden sich die wD und der sK innerhalb dieses Kreuzes, lassen sich mit
der wD das Maximum von zwölf verschiedenen Matts konstruieren.

Als Autor wird im Sidler "L.A.Le Mieux" genannt.

Stammproblemes gleich mehrere Doppelsetzungen vorgelegt wurden von C.W.Sheppard, K.A.K.Larsen

Preisbericht hat die Überschrift "October Two and Three-move Tourney Award by Alain C. White", aber aus dem Kontext ergibt sich, daß es sich um den November-PB handelt
A.C. White: "Clever and puzzling problem, with tries by the several moves of the key piece. This is probably the first problem which will give the solver much pause in this issue, and the play is correspondingly less keen, for the usual divorce of good keys and good play continues throughout the folder."
