C11834 (Keller) 1.Sg3 (>2.Kc1 3.Be2#) Kxd2 2.Qxc4 (>3.Qc1+) Ke3 3.Qe2+ Kf4 4.Sxe4 5.Qf3. It is bad form for the key piece to be en prise – but here the wQ does not make the key move (JGG [Jim G. Grevatt]). Very good key. I spent a lot of time looking at Qxc6,d6,e6 (VS [Victor Snaith]).

  • Author – Kurt Keller (Ulm, Germany)
  • Note on publication: C11834 shows a black ‘Lion’s cage’, to compare with the white cage in the last issue – can the en prise wQ be justified?

Only two #3s this time, and no excessively long moremovers. [...] Keller presents with New Year greetings a symmetrical Christmas tree – but the 2 variations are not symmetrical.
