BS Problemid: 7237
Authors: Boardman, Harry
Sources: Simple Two-move Themes 1924
Years: 1887

athulin: Detroit Free Press, v. 46, i. 122 (1881-01-15), p. 8, prb. 1008.
Often reprinted with the date '1887', but unless that can be
substantiated, it should probably be suspected to be a misprint
for '1881'. (checked against scans at newspaper.com; Albrecht 37978 also has '1881'.) (2022-09-12)

im 'Algemeen Handelsblad' abgedruckt mit dem Motto "Il Penseroso" und der Auszeichnung "2e Bijzondere vermelding" (also nicht "Eehrv. vermelding"). 1918 gab es noch mehrere Nachträge zum Zweizüger-Preisbericht, zuletzt 02.03.1918 - evtl. ist die Aufgabe also hinsichtlich Auszeichnung noch etwas "hochgerutscht".
