"G." Adamson is "H. A." Adamson ("G" regularly becomes "H" on going into
Cyrillic and out again), and this isn't an article, it is an isolated
problem: problem 617 in the Problemist Fairy Supplement (page 100,
solution on page 107). Dawson inserts the comment "(by bad logic)" in the
solution, and I entirely agree.

To quote the title page, "The Twentieth Century Retractor, Chess Fantasies,
and Letter Problems."

As a booklet in English, 1973. However, a French translation by A.
Grunenwald had appeared in "Probleme" in March 1971, and there had been a
series of articles in "Fairy Chess Review" from August 1956 onwards. The
1973 booklet occupied 16 pages; the 1971 article in French, 54; the
1956-58 articles, probably 20+, but they are scattered through twelve
issues and I haven't counted in detail.
