PREFACE

In off ering 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. Th eir example has given me confi dence, 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 publishing 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 prob-lems. 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. Th is study is rewarded by that legitimate gratifi cation 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 diffi cult contest over the board.

Th e innumerable solutions of those problems constantly forward-ed to the Era, the Illustrated London News, the Field, and many other newspapers, all agree with one consent in the same story, viz., the in-creasing popularity of problem making and solving.

Problems are indeed the poetry of Chess. Th e 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 diff erent form, in the humble labours of the problematist. Surely, without pressing the analogy too far, we may say that the thirty-two

pieces form the alphabet of the composer, while the Chess board is the paper, and the positions fi nally resulting may be fairly likened to so many stanzas. Nor are painting and sculpture alien themes. But why should I proceed

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, Kiese-ritzky, 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 Sunbury, and Turton, among ourselves, with Th eod-ore 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 diffi dence in attempting so delicatc a task. It has been justly observed by a clever Spanish writer that there is as much diff erence between the styles of two skilful problem composers as between the paintings of Raphael and Titian, the one excelling in expression, the other in colour. Similarly one problematist is known for his originality and brilliancy of conception, while another excels in giving that artistic fi nish which really constitutes the perfect prob-lem. 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. Th e fi nest 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 diffi cult to discover.

Th e main feature in the works of the earlier composers is the great number of moves required for their solution. Th ere are in general few variations, but a series of forced checks and bold sacrifi ces conducts the student to the fi nal mate. Th ough diffi cult to solve, they were com-

“To paint new colours in the bow of Heaven And throw fresh perfume on the violet.”

paratively easy to invent. In a word, although much admired on ac-count of their intricacy and ingenuity, they lack the depth and com-plexity which characterise the best productions of the present day.

Perhaps the most convenient way of classifying problems is to di-vide 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 cer-tain number of moves. Th e last two species are manifestly unpopular with English players of the present day. Th ey are more artifi cial, more unnatural, less practical, and less instructive than the former. Upon this head I cannot better express my deliberate judgment than in the language of Herr Lowenthal in his preface to the Era Problem Tourna-ment. “Suicidal and conditional problems have gone out of fashion, and the inference is, that the fanciful modes of play which they illus-trate have fallen into desuetude. Few games are now played in which the giver of odds undertakes to compel 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 insuperably diffi cult 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 trifl es are disregarded, and ponderous puzzles are thrown aside. Th e lovers of problems are turning to the elegant, the original, and the practically useful, and in that way can render their pursuit profi table to the student and interesting to the accom-plished Chess-player.’’

London, January, 1866. F. H.


Notes to Electronic Edition

Th is 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.
