We have had many Inqulriea aheut solving ef problem and are therefore publishing the following interesting arti-rles by B. O. Lii from his book entitled "Chess Problems and How to Solve Them." (Continued from last Sunday) THE BLOCK TWO-MOVER (Continued) If Black had to play. White would at once mate by 2. P-B4. White, however, cannot force Black to move his Queen's Pawn, and the only way of satisfying the conditions of the problem is by follow. ng the principle appertaining to No. 39, i.e.. giving the King freedom which he does not enjoy in the position presented. This is done by 1. N-Nl. This position is given rather for the purpose of showing the distinguishing feature of the Knight's play when turned to account in the case of waiting strategy. It will be pretty obvious that a Knight thus employed, whilst exercising useful influence in the after-play, must in making a move destroy to some extent the ostensible nature of the problem, judged from the result of a superficial scrutiny of the Initial position. In No-. 21 It will be seep that the Knight s move is of a semiwalting order, since by going to Nl a marked chance is made.
In other problems, either simple or complex similar effects will be manifested. Before proceeding with the consideration of other artless positions of the waiting style it. will be well for the reader to try his hand at the following bi-mnvers. designed upon the plan of allowing the defense more play than was possible before the key move was made.
