A Jerome Endgame


From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Sunday June 18, 1876



End Game No. 4




White - K at KKt6, Kt at KB6, P at KR6 and P at QR3
Black - K at KR, P at QB6, P at QB5 and P at QR3



The above position, which we take from the "Dubuque," is from actual play; A.W. Jerome (white) versus Mr. Steele (black). White had the move, and was about to resign; he played instead and won.

We invite the close attention of solvers to this ending, and hope to receive solutions, though we don't expect many.
