Wliite mates in three moves. 



No. 2.

White mates in three moves. 

 Solvers are reminded that those who solve correctlv 

 every problem in the tourney will be entitled to act as 

 preliminary judges. It is as well to explain that by 

 " solving a problem correctly " I mean giving the correct 

 key (if there is one and only one), and no other. But no 



solver will Ije disi|ualified from judging on the ground of 

 failure in a problem which proves either incapable of 

 solution, or cajtablc of more than one solution. The proviso 

 of solving every jiroblem correctly was clearly only intended 

 to ensure that the jireliminary judges had appreciated the 

 merits of every ])roblem which could have anij chance 

 of success; and this end is met by limiting the proviso to 

 the case of sound ]>r()bleins. I need hardly add that 

 failure in duals will not l)e a ground for disqualification. 



Solution Touenet. 

 This begins with the ]>roblems printed above, and will 

 continue to the end of the year. During the publication 

 of Tourney Problems duals will count, as explained last 

 month. Solutions must bear po.stmark <>f the ismilng 

 office not later than the loth day of the month of jniblica- 

 tion. I regret that the time fi>r solution cannot be 

 extended ; but the task of examining claims for incorrect 

 solutions, second solutions, duals, etc., involves considerable 

 labour, and this page goes to the printer before the middle 

 of the month.
