- "As long as there is man, there will be war."
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) To Philippe Halsman, 1947, quoted on p. 35 of Time, December 31, 1999, in its “Person of the Century” coverage of Einstein. Perhaps originally cited in Halsman’s Sight and Insight (1972), which I have been unable to find.
The intended solution is 1. Rxe5 (2. Qe6#) Rxe5, Bxe5, Qg4, Qg5, Bg4, Be7 2. Nxf4#, Ne7#, Qh5#, Rexg5#, Rg5#, Nxe7#. Unfortunately there is also the cook 1. hxg7 (2. Rf6#) Be7 2. Nxe7#. Without wPh6 there would be another cook 1. Nf8+ Bxf8 2. Qh7#.
Richard Maillard (* 1892, † ?) French composer.
