chess rooms. He says: 1T was quite an
impromptu to catch old Dennis Julien.

that he could analyze any position so as
to tell which piece the principal mate

piece. but the solution will show you

The theme OF starting a white pawn on
its own square and making II give mate
by promotion was not absolutely new
with Lloyd, as Wormald had shown how
the task could be done a couple OF years
before him. Wormald claimed a knight,
which is perhaps. even more OF trick,
but 1t is also more evident, as 1t requires
the presence OF the black king at closer
range. Loyds problem remains TO this
day the most surprising rendering of the
theme, because black Is required to make
such unexpected moves to defeat the
series Of threats and bring about the
main play. The march of the pawn is
more like the play in helpmate prob
lem, where both sides cooperate to bring
about the mate. The principal variation
is as follows: 1P-Kt4. R-B4ch; 2PxR, P
