First Prize Set Norwich Mercury Echo Tourney 1907 (zusammen mit P1058430)

'ACB': "... Norwich Mercury Model-Mate Echo Tourney of 1907, in which the writer [H.W. Barry] acted as co-judge with Max G. Meyer (since deceased). This tournament attracted world-wide attention, and first prize was won by the beautiful set, A and B, Nos. 1601-1602 (P1058430), in this number, by P. F. Blake of England.
... In order to afford proper appreciation and enjoyment of these "Echo" sets of problems, let it be explained that the condition of the tourney called for the repeating, or echoing, in a three-mover, of "model-mates" occurring in an accompanying two-mover. These "models," contained in the two-mover, were to be strategically repeated in the three-mover."

If White checks with his Knights on any of the four squares, Black recaptures with check. The key-move induces Black to defeat the threat by closing each of his checking lines in turn, when White's second moves can open lines for the Queen mates. The quiet threat which is forced only by Q-R2 and P-R6, takes some finding.

'Algo' schreibt dieses Problem "J. Loyd" zu, womit Samuel Loyd gemeint ist, korrekt ist aber Samuel Gold ('ACB': "by the late Samuel Gold, New York")! m.E. anticipiert durch P1047782. (s. die dortigen Anmerkungen)

Interessant: Die identische Stellung gibt es auch mit der Forderung s#24, s. P1228010.
