Subject: Original Excelsior problem

Author: Frederic Friedel

The shades of night were falling fast
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice
A banner with the strange device
Excelsior!

In case you do not know it: Sam Loyd once produced a problem in which you must
try to guess which piece will _not_ deliver mate. Please actually try before you
show the position to a chess program.
