In memory of Leon Uris:
Mate Change Problem
White to mate in 2 moves
H.W.Grant, 1st Prize,
Australian Column 1924
The concept of “mate change,” appropriate on this, the coronation date of Henry VIII, is explained at Chathurangam.com, my source for the above problem.
For the connection with Leon Uris, find the “key” to the above chess problem… i.e., the notation for White’s first move.
From the New York Times, June 24:
“Reviewing Mr. Uris’s 1976 novel Trinity in The
New York Times
Uris, 78, died at the summer solstice… Saturday, June 21, 2003.
