Es gibt kaum ein andres Thema, welches dem Komponisten einen derartigen Reichtum an Kombinationen bieten würde, sowohl für Zweizüger als auch für mehrzügige Aufgaben.

im 'BCM' veröffentlicht als Tourney Problem No. 7, Motto: "The Rear Guard".
Die Autorschaft ergibt sich aus einer Anmerkung im Preisbericht über die vom Wettbewerb ausgeschlossenen Probleme (s. 'BCM' 12/1890, S. 505): "... Nos. 4 and 7, by E. St. Maurice"
athulin: First published in British Chess Magazine, v. 10, i. 113 (May, 1890), p. 216, tourney prb. 7 (Motto: "The Rear Guard"), as competing in the B.C.M. #2 Tournament of 1890.

For some reason, the tourney report does not include the name of the composer (all other are mentioned), and no correction has been found in either v. 11 or v. 12 of British Chess magazine.

The collection Canadian Chess Problems (1890) includes the problem as composed by "E. St. Maurice".

The same thing happened for problem 4 in the same tournament (P1020238). (2023-04-18)
Mario Richter: @anders: It seems you overlooked the remark about excluded problems in 'BCM' 12/1890, S. 505 (2023-04-19)
athulin: @Mario Richter: Quite right, I had missed that. Thanks for the notice! (2023-04-19)

laut Thulinscher Edition von '370 Utvalda': Prize, American Chess Assosiation 1878

'BCM' (in einer Besprechung der Sammlung von J.A. Ros): "... not inviting in appearance, has perhaps the finest key of the whole [two-move] section. This position was a great favourite of the late Herr Steinitz."
athulin: First published in Cleveland Sunday Morning Voice, 1878-04-07, prb. 175
Won a minor prize of the most difficult problem submitted to the A.C.P.A. tourney through that particular column. (The judges Finlinson & Gilberg seem to have been unanimous in their choice.) (2023-05-31)

athulin: The prize information is partially incorrect. The special prize mentioned
in this tourney was given to P1020458, not to this problem, which 'only' won
the prize for best #2. (2022-08-09)
athulin: Only one main #2 prize was awarded. (2 special prizes for #2 were also
awarded, but they could not be given to the main #2 prize problem.)

A.Buchanan: I don't know much about selfmates, but I do note that this problem can be "fixed" by shifting wTc6 to f-file (except f5 or f6). Does this break any content, and if not, is there a preferred location on f-file? (2023-04-02)
