   Here's a board position that was shown to me approximately fifteen

years ago. I do not know the origins of this, though it supposedly

came from tournament play in the nineteenth century. Perhaps someone

out in Net.Land knows more.

   I'll present it the way it was presented to me:

   "Here's the position.", he said. "Look at it for half an hour. You

may select to play White or Black and I'll play against you. Five dollars

to the winner."

   This is a fairly provocative wager because this is an end-game position !!


	White King at A8		Black King at D5

	White Knight at A7		Black Pawn at A3

	White Pawn at C2		Black Pawn at D4

	White Pawn at D2

	White Bishop at H4		It is White's Move !!


   Hope you have some fun with this !!
