Solution uses a symmetry argument -- but the Tit Bits solution was written by Dudeney.

Maurice Kraitchik. La Mathématique des Jeux. Stevens, Bruxelles, 1930. Section XII, prob. 1, p. 296. (= Mathematical Recreations; Allen & Unwin, London, 1943; Problem 1, pp. 13 14.) Child plays black and white against two chess players and guarantees to win one game. [MJ cites L'Echiquier (1925) 84, 151.]
CAUTION. The 2nd edition of Math. des Jeux, 1953, is a translation of Mathematical Recreations and hence omits much of the earlier edition.
Leopold. At Ease! 1943. Chess wizardry in two minutes, pp. 105 106. Same as Kraitchik.
