Solution of Auijust Problem (by D. E.) 



1. B to E6, and mates next move. 



Correct Solutions received from Alpha, H. S. Brandreth, 

 W. Pennett, G. Burt, and A. R. 



(t. Burt. — Some of your variations, however, are in- 

 con-ect. There are four different mates for the moves of 

 the Black Bishop. (The Queen cannot mate.) After 

 1. ... P to Q3, 2. Kt to B4 is the mate. 



Alpliu.^GeneraMy speaking, the more variations the 



easier the problem ; for some of the variations have to 

 be ready-made. Duals result from Kt to Esq or R5. 



a. K. AtisAl. — Thanks for the problem, which has been 

 returned to you for revision.
