CORRECTION In Problem No. 1093 by Pedler there la no solution. The intended solution It KI-Q4, but RiB4ixKt defeats It, so the no solution claim still stands? Problem 1095 ha two solutions, B-K17, the intended one, and Kt-B2chl Due to the fact that thia mean added point to the solvers who tend in no tolutiona to problem 1093, and double solution to 1095, the Handing of the lad-deritea will not be published until next month, but there will be two winners instead of one.
