  • (28.10) No.405,406 – Peter Harris – Two complicated problems as always, but I want to quote some author’s words here: 405 – “The problem I am sending now could not be  made without  using the 3 conditions I have used.” ; 406 – “Is there a curious soul who, midst all the conditions, will enjoy finding the serial moves? But the most important question of all is: Is there a real Fairy Land somewhere?”
  • (27.10) No.404 – Peter Harris – A cheery ensemble of figures on the big diagonal!
