Our Janet readers commented on its simplicity implying that they preferred them more complicated In this we agree!

Economy of orce is one of the principles of probleip construction Where have you found less White force accomplishing the desired object? We challenge you to produce one! And with 13 pieces to choose from Black can not force a Dual! (A Dual is caused by a Black defense which permits White to mate in more than one way) So IVhite moves his solitary Knight and Black “fights the dual”! Notice that after the Key-Move 1 Kt-K2 White threatens mate in two ways Black moves — and only one mate is possible! -Ben McCready describes it well by saying “This problem seems to illustrate the qualitative character of chess!’’.
