No Binding. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Post Card (3 1/2" x 5 1/2") to Gilbert Dobbs discussing several problems and thanking him for problems received and potential future problems. Signed by Laws. John Keeble in his A Tribute to B G Laws we learn Laws was born on February 6, 1861 in Barnsbury, London and died on Septe…mber 21, 1931 in London, also composed problems under the noms de plume, Handley Roads (while living on Hanley Road); S. Green (while living at Stroud Green); N.R.S (the final initials of his three names. Benjamin Glover Laws); C. Hill (Crouch Hill); I. S. Lington (Islington); C. Horn (Hornsey). Keeble wrote that, "Mr. Laws started his problematic career in a column edited by F. C. Collins in Brief. . . In the issue of June 7th, 1878, Mr. Laws is announced as having sent four problems to the Chess editor, who acknowledged them, in reply to correspondent, as follows: - "We have much pleasure in inserting your two-move position. No. 2 contains three checks which necessarily render the position much below the required standard for this column. Nos. 3 and 4 can be solved in other ways. In future you should confine your attention to one position at a time, and endeavor to make one perfect in every respect before commencing a second. Continue to study the productions of others, endeavoring to discover the object of each Piece and Pawn, and in short time you may be enabled to compose a problem creditable to yourself and the work in which it appears." Keeble noted Laws career as a chess writer - the author of 4 books: The Chess Problem Text Book (1887); Two-move Chess Problems (1889); Chess Problems and How to Solve Them (1923) and The Artistry of the Chess Problem (1923) - and the editor of different chess columns. He was the problem editor of the Chess Monthly for ten years; from 1898 until his death, Laws edited the chess column for the British Chess Magazine. Giblert Dobbs (1867-1941) had composed an astonishing number of 2,500 problems, great numbers of them very charming and attractive pieces. He loved the simpler combinations of pure or model mates in three-move form, and turned out literally hundreds of examples, which one could always counted upon to be well worth the solving. Dobbs went on to become a minister in Georgia. (ACB: 1941) Condition: Some age darkening and wear along edges else a very good copy.
