Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from One Hundred Chess Problems: With Chess Puzzle Frontispiece

As a contributor for several years to the principal Chess columns and magazines, I have had the benefit of much kindly and valuable criticism, not less kindly, nor of less value, when it has been Opposed to my own fancies; and I now venture to offer to the Chess public a selection from those problems which have stood the test of publication, in the h0pe that what has been to me a labour of love, may be acceptable to some of those, at home and abroad, who take delight in the quaint and manifold combinations which no number of games or problems can exhaust.

It may be true that a composer is not a good judge of the merits of his work, but it is not less true that he can best appreciate the difficulty of combining clear construction with some subtlety, and freshness of idea. He knows well where the shoe pinches, and he must often take strong measures to guard against flaws, or to prevent second solutions. These meet him face to face, though they seldom present themselves to the notice of the solver after they have been overcome by the introduction of pieces condemned, perhaps, as unnecessary by the off-hand critic.
