Chess Problem with Chancellor 1

This problem has been invented around 1889 by the famous American game and puzzle inventor Samuel Loyd. It was published in a book on Chancellor Chess by the American Ben Foster.

The problem is taken from an article on Chancellor Chess from issue 11, Summer 1993 of Variant Chess, by George Jellis.
