FROM THE AUTHOR’S PREFACE TO THE SIXTY-FIRST THOUSAND OF THE 6/- EDITION, 1897

As the chess-problem, given on a previous page, has puzzled some of my readers, it may be well to explain that it is correctly worked out, so far as the moves are concerned. The alternation of Red and White is perhaps not so strictly observed as it might be, and the ‘castling’ of the three Queens is merely a way of saying that they entered the palace: but the ‘check’ of the White King at move 6, the capture of the Red Knight at move 7, and the final ‘checkmate’ of the Red King, will be found, by any one who will take the trouble to set the pieces and play the moves as directed, to be strictly in accordance with the laws of the game.

The new words, in the poem Jabberwocky (see pp. 15–18), have given rise to some differences of opinion as to their pronunciation: so it may be well to give instructions on that point also.
