This is another attempt (first one on July 27th was not posted) to draw attention to the fact that same theory was propounded many years ago:

Solving Nabokov's Lolita Riddle: Vladimir Nabokov, the author of the best-selling novel Lolita, was also a composer of chess problems for many decades. In one particular chess problem, discussed in his memoirs and published separately in Poems and Problems, Nabokov engaged in a stunning Wonderland chess duel against Lewis Carroll. This chess duel has been analysed by me for the very first time on my website www.lolitariddle.com, as well as in my book 'Solving Nabokov's Lolita Riddle' (2005), which has only just been published here in Australia. I thought some of your members might find Nabokov's symbolic chess duel rather interesting. Jo Morgan [1/8/05]
