THE LIBERAL PATRON OF CHESS,

is respectfully inscribed by
the author
PREFACE

In offering this collection of problems to the Chess community, I feel


that a few prefatory words are required by way of explanation. Several
previous composers have come before the public in the same manner,
among whom I may enumerate Mr. Kling, Mr. Brown of Leeds, and J. B.
of Bridport. Their example has given me confidence, and I venture to
hope that the present collection will be found to bear some features
especially distinctive of English problems, such as may justify my pub-
lishing it in a separate form.
It is certain that the great body of Chess amateurs have always felt
an especial interest in the composition and solution of problems. For
ten persons who take up a magazine or newspaper to examine a game,
probably a hundred may be found who only look to the problems. How
often do we see a man of powerful brain devoting a spare half hour to
the careful scrutiny of a diagram in the Illustrated London News. This
study is rewarded by that legitimate gratification which the successful
exertion of the intellect always brings with it. But the same man would
not, and could not, have devoted the necessary time and energy to a
difficult contest over the board.
The innumerable solutions of those problems constantly forwarded
to the Era, the Illustrated London News, the Field, and many other news-
papers, all agree with one consent in the same story, viz., the increasing
popularity of problem making and solving.
Problems are indeed the poetry of Chess. The same depth of imagi-
nation, the same quick perception of the beautiful, the same fecundity
of invention, which we demand from the poet, are to be found, under
a different form, in the humble labours of the problematist. Surely,
without pressing the analogy too far, we may say that the thirty-two

5

pieces form the alphabet of the composer, while the Chess board is
the paper, and the positions finally resulting may be fairly likened to
so many stanzas. Nor are painting and sculpture alien themes. But why
should I proceed
“To paint new colours in the bow of Heaven
And throw fresh perfume on the violet.”

Turning for a brief moment to the history of problems, it cannot


but strike the student with some surprise to discover how few names,
comparatively speaking, are inscribed on the honourable roll of in-
ventors. From the illustrious Damiano downwards, the following brief
register includes, I believe, most of the celebrities to our own day:—
Lolli, Ponziani, Stamma, D’Orville, Küper, Mendheim, Kieseritzky, and
­Silbersmidt. In our own time, we have indeed a brilliant constellation of
genius, in which Anderssen, Kling, Bayer, Horwitz, and Grosdemange,
among our continental brethren—Angas, Bolton, Bone, K. A. Browne,
J. B. of Bridport, Campbell, M‘Arthur, Grimshaw, T. Smith, C. W. of Sun-
bury, and Turton, among ourselves, with Theodore Brown, S. Lloyd, and
E. B. Cook in America—shine pre-eminent.
Coming now to compare the ancient with the modern school of
problems, I feel much diffidence in attempting so delicatc a task. It has
been justly observed by a clever Spanish writer that there is as much
difference between the styles of two skilful problem composers as be-
tween the paintings of Raphael and Titian, the one excelling in expres-
sion, the other in colour. Similarly one problematist is known for his
originality and brilliancy of conception, while another excels in giving
that artistic finish which really constitutes the perfect problem. In truth,
the beauty of a problem does not consist so much in the intricacy of the
theme as in the manner in which the idea is treated or woven in by the
composer. The finest end games have often a very simple solution, but
it is so hidden among numerous other modes of play which mislead
the solver that it is very difficult to discover.
The main feature in the works of the earlier composers is the great
number of moves required for their solution. There are in general few
variations, but a series of forced checks and bold sacrifices conducts the
student to the final mate. Though difficult to solve, they were compara-
preface 7

tively easy to invent. In a word, although much admired on account of


their intricacy and ingenuity, they lack the depth and complexity which
characterise the best productions of the present day.
Perhaps the most convenient way of classifying problems is to divide
them into three main branches—viz., 1. Ordinary problems, i. e., those in
which mate is to be given in a certain number of moves; 2. Conditional
problems, i. e., those in which mate is to be given by a particular piece
or Pawn, or upon a particular square, or in which the mate is hampered
by some similar stipulations; 3. Suicidal Problems, i. e., those in which
White compels Black to checkmate him in a certain number of moves.
The last two species are manifestly unpopular with English players of
the present day. They are more artificial, more unnatural, less practical,
and less instructive than the former. Upon this head I cannot better ex-
press my deliberate judgment than in the language of Herr Lowenthal in
his preface to the Era Problem Tournament. “Suicidal and conditional
problems have gone out of fashion, and the inference is, that the fanci-
ful modes of play which they illustrate have fallen into desuetude. Few
games are now played in which the giver of odds undertakes to com-
pel his adversary to mate him or to give mate on a marked square, and
the kind of problems referred to have consequently lost their use, and
with it their interest. We have fewer problems in which it is almost in-
superably difficult to hide the design, fewer still of those interminable
studies in which the moves approach in point of number to the tales
of the thousand and one nights. In short, mere trifles are disregarded,
and ponderous puzzles are thrown aside. The lovers of problems are
turning to the elegant, the original, and the practically useful, and in
that way can render their pursuit profitable to the student and interest-
ing to the accomplished Chess-player.’’

Notes to Electronic Edition

This edition is based on the 1866 edition, published by Longmans, Green


& Co., London. Solutions have been converted to algebraic form, but
otherwise follow the original.
All problems have been computer-tested, using Matthieu Le-
schemelle’s Problemiste. Found errors have been indicated below the
diagram as follows: [†] indicates a problem without a solution in the
stipulated number of moves, [*] indicates a problem with multiple so-
lutions, and [§] a problem with short solution(s). Details have been
added, in brackets, to the solutions, though minor errors have been
silently corrected.
Problem 90 has been corrected as indicated in the Errata on p. 266:
the white Queen has been moved from d3 to h1.
