The Los Angeles Times Chess by Herman Steiner Sunday, May 06, 1934 Los Angeles, California L.A. Times Problem No. 460....
Posted by Bobby Fischer's True History on Monday, June 21, 2021
L.A. Times Problem No. 460. From the International Two-Mover Tourney of the Budapest Chess Club, 1933. Tenth honorable mention by E. Foschini. White mates in two.
FEN 4R3/1K1NQ2n/2p5/2p1B2r/1p1bk3/1r2N1q1/2PP1PP1/4R3 w - - 0 1
Key: Q-K6/Qe6
The very strong try of QxNch, is defeated by RxQ, and now the N cannot move to give mate, as some of the solvers have predicted, because the N is pinned by the R.
BxQch, will be answered by B-K4, and Black will have a Flight Square at Q5.

L.A. Times Problem No. 461. Composed for the L.A. Times by H.L. Winings, Decatur, Illinois. White mates in three.
FEN 8/3P4/5Np1/8/7k/8/4B2K/8 w - - 0 1
Key: N-K4/Ne4
This problem was an experiment to find out how many solvers would detect the duals. Many of the strong solvers overlooked the duals and only saw the following variation: 1. N-K4 P-N4; 2. P-Q8(R) P-N5; 3. R-KR8. This is the original intention of the composer. The dual 2. N-N3 P-N5; 3. P-Q8(Q) or duel No. 3, B mate, were overlooked. All those who sent in these duals will receive an extra point or a total of five points. The writer will do this occasionally to test the ability of the solvers and to give the weaker solvers a chance to gain more points.
