(M. Herzberg). Das etwas spröde Material LLSS auf beiden Seiten wird geschickt genutzt.
KHS: Der sK muss zunächst die schädliche Masse des wBf6 beseitigen, natürlich mit Beschäftigungslenkung; wieder ein gelungener Mehrzüger von M. Herzberg.

A.Buchanan: Without sTa5, Black castling rights would be gone. But I don’t think that observation is sufficient to make the problem retro, even if sTa5 had no role in the forward play. Have changed the genre from
Retro to #2. (2022-04-26)

Motto: "We cannot all be masters"
SCHRECKE: C+, popeye 4.87 (2022-04-16)
athulin: Tourney source is probably best expressed as 'Burnley Express', as the name changed in the period.

First publication: Burnley Express and Advertiser, i. 173 (1881-03-26), p. 3, prb. 164.

The reference to a reprint in Canadian Chess Problems below seems odd: as far as I can find that problem is a #3 by G. A. Robinson with a quite different position. (https://books.google.se/books?id=bywVAAAAYAAJ&dq=canadian%20chess%20problems&pg=PA140#v=onepage&q&f=true) (2022-09-28)
Mario Richter: Anders is right, Dieter mixed up two sources: the correct reprint source name is not 'Canadian Chess Problems', but 'The Chess Problem. Text-Book with illustrations', p. 157, Problem 140. (Its publication year is usually given as 1886, not 1887).

One general remark: when introducing new sources in the PDB, the information provided should make it possible to identify the source uniquely. That is, names like 'Times', 'Mail', or in this case 'Express' without additions, should be avoided. I know that this is not easy, since in many cases the problem data comes only from secondary sources, where the original source may only be given in rudimentary form (e.g. something like "Our today's problem is taken from 'The Mail'"). Perhaps it would be better in such cases to not introduce a new source but onlyx to make a remark in the comment field of the problem ... (2022-09-28)

athulin: First publication:
Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, v. 4, i. 5 (1886-02-15), p. 79, tourney prb. 7

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)

athulin: a) This problem won the *first* prize .
b) The tourney book reprints the problem *mirrored,*( i.e. with wKf8.
c) The tourney was a correction tourney, so this is a *correction* of a problem printed
in Chess Journal up to June 1871. Thus, Carpenter is not the sole author but unfortunately
the tourney book does not identify the original of which this is a correction. (I
suspect it might be a correction of E. H Courtenay's attempt at correcting Alexandre's #2 nr. 1,
but ... . Courtenay's problem is v. 2, i. 15 (May, 1871), p. 130, prb. 111. (2022-07-18)
