The Angel Che* Prise. |7 W. ALLEN has telegraphed this column that the only correct key to problem No. 67 is: Knight takes pawn at Black's Queen's Knight fifth square. Now Charles Carrico and Alton Coppage said the correct notation was: KtxPiQKtd).
They gave the notation from the White aide of the board, presumably the orthodox way of citing any chees problem when the English notation is used and White has the move. If Black had the move then the English notation, or descrip(! tive system of designating chess moves, would be given from the Black side of the printed diagram, which is the top of the diagram and farthest from the reader when he lays the problem flat on the table. Is this correct? I shall consult every chess problem treatise at hand before giving a Anal decision. Meantime will Clair J. Bressler and A. G.
