| Apr 19, 2015 at 23:23 | comment | added | Richard Hevener | @user5649 Gosh, I just can't remember. Unfortunately, my friend (Dave) has no recollection of this problem. I recall the W.Va. connection because I'm originally from there. I worked on it a long time before giving up and having Dave show me the solution. | |

| Jun 7, 2014 at 18:30 | comment | added | Richard Hevener | @GrizzlyRawrz Thanks again. I wasn't aware of the problem databases. I suspect that neither of your candidates is my mystery problem, though: 1957 is too early and William Fillery was Canadian. You're right about the immense variety of such two knight problems. Too bad there's a dearth of W.Va. composers. | |
| Jun 6, 2014 at 18:50 | comment | added | GrizzlyRawrz | @Richard Hevener Using the additional criteria of Chess Review or Chess Life in the period 1955-1965 I ended up with two problems on yacpdb matching the description where I could not confirm the origin of the composer: imgur.com/sp9TMSB. It's a long shot of course, but without any more information I think it's the best I can do. Of course, others may be aware of better sources to search, problem chess is not really my specialty. | |
| Jun 6, 2014 at 17:41 | comment | added | Richard Hevener | @GrizzlyRawrz Thanks for checking anyway. I suspect the problem came from a prominent source in the late '50s or early '60s, perhaps Chess Review or Chess Life. I'm originally from W.Va., which is why my friend mentioned that about the problem. I remember working on it for days before giving up. | |
| Jun 6, 2014 at 17:32 | comment | added | Richard Hevener | @Alan As stated, it was white-to-mate-in-three. | |
| Jun 6, 2014 at 16:37 | comment | added | GrizzlyRawrz | It will be nearly impossible to find with such limited information. A search of a problem database such as yacpdb.org gave me hundreds and hundreds of pages of hits for the given material combination and stipulation of #3. I cannot find information about any well-known composers from West Viriginia, and little information at all on problem chess out of West Viriginia. I found a few problems from the West Virginia Chess Bulletin, but they did not match and were not by American composers. First move not a check is true of almost all #3 problems. | |
| Jun 6, 2014 at 14:00 | comment | added | Alan | Umm what was the stipulation (the goal)? Was it a mate problem? | |
