If Mr. SieEtel or any other lynx-eyed critic crit-ic can show a win after this move, I will "so 'way back and sit down." K. L. Libby, ISalt Lake City. Concerning Problem No. 333. Friend Plurnly: To John Howe, Jr., I lender my acknowledgments for his valuable val-uable criticism in your issue of January Jan-uary 20. a. This simple correction, proving a white win by 19-23 at ninth move of variation A, renders the problem, as a problem, unite worthless. However, it is a sorry wreck from which no salvage can tie secured. In this instance I have managed to extricate extri-cate from among Ihe scattered fragments enouch of value to enable me to recast my earlier attempt, and take pleasure in submitting" for the consideration of my critic and other readers of this column tho following: Revised setting: Black 12. 28; kines, 2,1, 29. White 24, 32; kings, 13, 21. White to play and win. - This, it may be observed, differs but slightly from the former and faulty form, since I have merely shifted the while kine; from 14 to 13, in which new location loca-tion he is so far away from the free l.lack king that, in ease 24-20 is played, the latter cannot be prevented from gaining gain-ing square 15 and then getting an easy draw by tho 12-16 exchange. The" first move of solution is 13-17. and the remainin.c eight mows follow exactly exact-ly as shown in trunk before. L. J. VAIR. Denver, Colo., January 28, 1918. CHESS.
