Die Hinterstellungskombination, erstmals von Laws dargestellt, wurde von Loyd unter dem Namen "American Indian" populär gemacht. Die vielen überflüssigen Steine hat Loyd aufgestellt, um die Stellung als Partiestellung erscheinen zu lassen und das Lösen zu erschweren.

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)

Zuerst muß man dem schwazen König ein Feld zur Verfügung stellen, damit kein Patt eintritt. Alles basiert auf Zugzwang. Das überraschende Läufermanöver der ersten beiden Züge ist eine Hinterstellung.

Set-Motto: "One of the Press Gang" 3. Turnier der 'Detroit Freee Press'

Loyd: "Key-moves, which from their unexpected nature have a sufficiently startling appearance to be classed among what I have termed surprise moves, have been introduced into thousands of problems and in every conceivable style and shape. I was more particularly referring, however, to the positions of this class wherein the oddity of the move consists in withdrawing the key-piece to an isolated and apparently useless post (Str., p. 104)."
" The idea, however, of introducing the most improbable lines has become so well understood, that our solvers are very apt to search for the most unlikely moves and so overlook the score of plausible traps which the author flatters himself he has set for the unwary. I showed No. 426 to half-a-dozen solvers, every one of whom made the key-move as if by instinct, admitting that they did not see the object of it. I have known many instances where most difficult problems were published, and solved by many, and years afterwards it was found that some simple solutions had been entirely overlooked. Problemists should remember, therefore, that it does not always make a problem difficult to have a dozen very tempting and obvious lines of attack. The fact of their being apparent is a sufficient indication to the solver that he need not look at them; so he passes over awscore of easy moves, and at once hits upon the correct one, which may be the only difficult and unpromising looking move on the board " (Str., p. 207)."

White: "The unexpected ambuscade of No. 426 reminds one of the close of a well-known four-mover by Philip Klett. [Pxxxxxxx]" || Zu den Lösern, die aus der Stellung sofort den Schlüsselzug erraten können, heißt es an anderer Stelle in 'Sam Loyd ad his ...' (S.391) "The practised solver relies upon his own ingenuity; by examining the peculiar position and bearing of the pieces, he soon finds out why they were so placed, and what particular part each piece has to perform to assist in effecting the mate, and thus he discovers the theme or trick of the position. We remember, one evening, last winter, showing a problem to Mr. Cook, who, merely glancing at the board, made the correct move, saying: ' The position of the pieces shows this to be the move, but I cannot yet imagine what it is done for!'" This remark of Mr. Cook was evidently the germ of Loyd's later anecdote about No. 426 ... [s.o.]"
