Here are some examples of easy forced wins. Payne has the following:—

Black man on 1. King on 7. (Fig. 10.)

Fig. 10.

White man on 14. King on 5.

Black to move and win.

The win is brought about thus:—

1- 6 6- 9 7-1010- 1
5- 114- 5 1- 6B. wins.

Another very interesting position is:—

Black man on 2. Kings on 6 and 11. (Fig. 11.)

Fig. 11.

White man on 8. Kings on 1 and 4.

Black to move and win.

Black wins thus:—

11-16 2- 716-12
1-1010- 3B. wins.
