N:
The tournament was occasioned by a donation by the Rev. H. R. Dodd
for a tourney on the idea of "Given certain pieces, make the best
problem of them." The choice of pieces was made by the chess
editor together with one of our leading composers.
41 problems competed and were published anonymously in
Huddersfield College Magazine between Oct. 1879 and Aug.-Sep. 1880 where they were also the subject of
a solving tourney. Only four problems were disqualified due to unsoundness.
The printed list of honorary mentions on p. 58 in BCM is incorrect: problem 38 (by
C. Calapso) was included by mistake instead of problem 28
(by J. Keeble).
