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:

Centerwall, Brandon S. "Hidden in Plain Sight: Nabokov and Pedophilia,"
Texas Studies in Literature and Language 32:3 (Fall 1990), 468ff.

A. Bouazza.

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
