A.C. White: "His unsound 3-er, No. 622, is very important historically, in that it was the first attempt ever made to combine three promotion variations from a single Black Pawn. Last year, J. Möller quite independently arrived at a similar version, entirely sound and very beautiful [P1246525]. The only difference was that he placed the Rook at c1, the Queen at d4, and a Knight at f4 instead of the Bishop. His solution is 1. Qd3, involving the same principles as Loyd's did. I mention this to show how near Loyd's genius led him to the ultimate rendering which another discovered fifty-four years later. But Loyd was, for once, too impetuous: " That problem should be killed. It is not in 'Strategy', nor in my collection. I revised it in that little corner problem which gives all the good there is in it [s. P1059071]" (L. 1909). This must remain one of the instances where I disagree with Loyd. His monogram, No. 623 [P1059071], is ingenious enough, but it lacks the complete task feature which made No. 622 a remarkable conception for a youth of seventeen to chance on."

msterkowiec: Dual in the second move (1.Rf5 d3 2.ed3/2.R:f4) seems to be smoothly avoided by adding wh.p.f3 and bl.Bh2 ( K5b1/1N1p4/P2p1R2/Pp1P4/pNkp1p2/B1p2P2/2P1Pr1b/1r4Q1 )

A.Buchanan: According to the Codex, mere illegality does not cook a problem or even make it unsound. But in the grunting world of PDB data fields, we only have "cooked" to express all degrees of structural displeasure. If I was fixing the problem, I would stick wLa8 on h1 instead. For then we have the tiny satisfaction of knowing that Black's last move was R: 1. Kb7xTa6.
