| Mar 16, 2015 at 4:28 | comment | added | bof | @ETD Sorry, that's all I know! I recalled reading about "The Little Game of Chess" 50 or 60 years ago, in a book I no longer have (Frey's New Complete Hoyle), but I didn't remember where the kings were placed. So I tried Googling and the site I linked to was my first success. It says Capt. Evans found the win "independently".I suppose the other analyst was probably some noted chessmaster or problemist of the day. But I was so happy to find that position on the web that I didn't look any further. | |
| Mar 16, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | ETD | @bof, very interesting! From some (very) light searching I can't tell if the text of Evans' analysis exists; I'd like to think it does. Do you know? (I've noticed at MO that you sometimes have things like logic preprints from decades past at the ready. Perhaps it's the same with Evans' work?) | |
| Mar 16, 2015 at 3:20 | comment | added | bof | @ETD With kinds at d1 and e8 this would be "The Little Game of Chess" analyzed by Captain Evans (of gambit fame) in the 19th century. | |
