Synopsis
Excerpt from Chess Lyrics: A Collection of Chess Problems
Out of these varied channels has grown the collection that I now lay before the reader. In it I have tried to bring together in convenient form the later productions of the man who is undoubtedly the greatest chess-problem artist now living. I have added all that seemed to me of value in the immense amount of critical matter dealing with his problems which has been published in tourney reports or periodicals, or communicated to me in manuscript. I have included very few opinions of my own, save where a few words seemed necessary by way of explanation or otherwise. Many problems, especially of course Mr. Mackenzie's less known ones, have consequently been left without any critical remarks whatever; while in other cases the notes are of considerable length. Although this has resulted in depriving the work of any pretense to uniformity of treatment, I have preferred to publish it just as it stood in my manu script rather than try to fill in the gaps with made-to-order criticisms of my own. I am responsible, however, for all the unsigned portions of the notes.
