Johanna Sickinghe
Johanna Sickinghe (full name Johanna Ignatia Jacobia Sickinghe-Nepveu tot Ameijde ; born December 19, 1858 in Groningen ; † March 3, 1942 ) was the second female composer of chess studies after Edith Baird . She had the title of nobility " Jonkvrouw ".
Sickinghe published under the pseudonym Jowes studies. Her first study appeared on January 16, 1916, according to clerk Gustav Adolf Olland, probably inspired by a study by Carel Mann , in the left-wing political De Groene Amsterdammer , in which two more studies and threesomes by her later appeared. She was often listed under the abbreviation JS as a successful solver of the chess column. John Selman revealed her identity in 1942, but only after her death.

Solution:
1. Ne4 with three main variations:
1.… Qh6 2. Nf6 + Kh4 3. Kf3 Qg6 4. Qh2 + Kg5 5. Qf4 mate.
1.… Kh3 2. Nf2 + Kg2 3. Qd5 + Kg1 4. Qg8 + Kh2 5. Kf1 and mate , as with Carel Mann
1.… Qd8 2. Nf6 + Kh3 3. De3 + Kh3 4. Qf4 + Kg1 5. Qg3 + Kh1 6. Ne4 De8 7. Qh4 + Kg2 8. Qg5 + Kh2 9. Qh6 + Kg2 10. Qg7 + Kh2 11. Kf2 plus mate
The third variant contains several duals, such as 3. Qf5 +, which only lose time.
