White to Play and Mate in Four
Last time out we commented on the wonderful subtlety of the modern problem. You might be interested in a real oldie from 1854. It, too, won a prize back then for its composer, Walter Grimshaw. By today's standards,not only is it the opposite of what we've told you about what to look for, it's what R.N. Coles characterized as "wholly coarse and unrefined." Be that as it may, you still have to solve it!
