L.A. Times Problem No. 258 by the late B.G. Laws. Morning Post, December, 1884. White mates in two.
FEN 2rr4/1Q5B/p4p2/p4N2/2k5/3NR3/bB2p3/4K3 w - - 0 1
Key: This was diagrammed exactly as shown in the October British Chess Magazine and as the November B.C.M. made no mention of error it was assumed same was correct. Some of our best local club solvers worked this from the B.C.M. and showed the intended solution (K-K8!) to the writer, who took it for granted the problem did not need testing. But later an eastern medium showed the same problem with Black pawn on f7 instead of f6, which stops the “bust” (B-N8ch) as we showed it.
