When solving a three-move problem it is deslrable to
find the thematic defences and then work out how the
play goes. Here is a problem whose attractive variations
are not predictable from the apparently ordinary diagram
#3

2.
Holzhausen interference: an interference of one linemoving piece with another of the same type, or ,,half a
Wurzburg-Plachutta". Unfortunately for black, his queen
is oveMorked and would have to unguard 95 for 3.895#.
But white has to choose carefully because black,s bishop
can also capture on e4. This forces his choice to be
2.Rxe4+ to allow 2...B,xe4 3.Qc1#. An analogous effect
occurs on the second thematic black defence 1...ef5.
The black bishop and rook now interchange roles.and
white plays 2.Qxe4+ this time with 3.Rf3 following
2...Rxe4.

Fokin collection of Kubbel's compositions. and in response to my Epilogue writes "Your criticism is too
old-fashioned. Set play is part of the picture, so the wB is
needed!" Granted the problem falls aoart without the
bishop, but its post-key uselessness surely reduces the
value of the self-interference element in the variation
1..Sd6 2.S8c7. My primary aim in highlighting the point
was to encourage Supplement readers to look for such
things; let's have more sophisticated criticisms - whether
old-fashioned or not!

similar to a Meredith problem published some years ago
by H.F.L.Meyer with five white pawn promotions. The
present author has introduced the sixth promotion (c8=Q)
by adding an expensive white rook at c6. The result is
certainly interesting from a task standpoint, but, personally, I do not think it is justified "

In the March 1995 issue of the Supp/emen1 Jack Gill
discussed a famous position which allegedly arose in a
game between Sam Loyd and Dr.C.C.Moore, in which
Loyd could have mated in three by a Nowotny sacrifice
leading to matching battery shut-offs. Jack speculated on
whether Loyd unwittingly discovered the Nowotny theme
in the course of a game, or possibly created a game
position for the purposes of his book Cress Sfrafegy,
dated 1878 but published in 1881. Browsing through the
bookstall at the recent British Solving Final I discovered a
volume by the famous naughty person Percy Wenman
called 175 Chess Brilliancies (published '1947), which
contains the score of the Loyd v Moore game. No venue
new magazine, the American Chess Journal. The following year Moore purchased the magazine, gradually
encouraging Loyd to take on the entire editorial burden.
He also suggested the writing of the Chess Strafegy, and
provided substantial financial backing. By the end of 1879
however Moore realised that the magazine was a bad bet
and sold out. Loyd's involvement came to an end, and
within two years the magazine ceased publication.
AN EXERCISE IN COMPOSITION
So far, this Supplement has attempted to introduce
readers to the varied world of chess composition. lt has
carried articles ranging from the orthodox world of
directmates, selfmates and reflexmates to the exotic
fantasy land of fairy chess. lt has carried one article by
John Beasley on the solving of endgame studies that has
been re-published in Thema Danicuml lt is now time to
try and get our new readers composing as well as
solving. To this end, here is a diagram to get you started.
This is perhaps an
idea that a composer
might come up with
when seated at his
chessboard intending to
compose an orthodox
