- "The whole point of writing something down is that your voice will then carry for thousands of miles, whereas in direct conversation it fades at a hundred paces."
Matteo Ricci (1552–1610) Letter to Ch’eng Ta-yüeh; quoted in Jonathan D. Spence, The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci [1984]
Published in Le Problème. A promotion on g8 is suggested, but not 1. g8Q? e4+ 2. Qg7 stalemate. Instead the underpromotion 1. g8R e4+ 2. Rg7 Ke5 3. Rg5#; 1.. Ke4 2. Ng3+ Kf4, Kd5 3. Rf1#, Rd8#. A nice chess puzzle.
Vincent Lanius Eaton (* 31.8.1915 in Puerto Cabello, † 16.3.1962 in Washington, DC) American composer, see wikipedia it. "Vincent Eaton was a child prodigy who graduated from Harvard at the age of 18. From 1939 to 1941 he was the problem editor of "Chess Review". He published more than 1000 problems, mostly direct mates in three. He was an International Judge. In his "Chess Notes", Edward Winter reminds Vincent Eaton with the second problem quoted by G.F.Anderson in "A Memorial Volume of Chess Problems of V.L. Eaton", which Vincent Eaton composed when he was 14."
