White, havine the prlvtlete of openint. hss to look onlv so fsr shesd as to keep in hsnd his exlstmr advantage, and at the ssme time meet the advance of the kme'a pawn. This Is here very simple, as the pictorial symmetry of the position enable the solver to are ' t a jlanc that if the bishop mates at QKfS on 1. . . . P-B6. it should do so st KBS on 1. . . .
