L.A. Times Problem No. 567 Composed for the Los Angeles Times by Alexander Kish, Dannemora, N.Y. White mates in two.
FEN 3Bq2r/4rp1R/3PNkP1/5n1P/3pQb1n/3B2pN/4K3/5R2 w - - 0 1
Key: N-B7/Nc7

L.A. Times Problem No. 568 by Osmo Kaila. White mates in three.
FEN 8/8/2N5/5p1p/2p1pP1P/2kpR2n/P6B/2K4N w - - 0 1
Cooked! No doubt there must have been a misprint originally, maybe a White Pawn from K-B2 is missing? Because the intended solution B-N Sq. is very good. The second solution, N-B2 is too brutal. All those who sent in two solutions will receive 6 points.
