Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 158 pages with diagrams, photograph and indices. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition.The chess composition or chess problem is like a work of art. The painter uses colors, the musician notes and the poet words to express a certain idea or theme. In the same way the chess-composer uses chess pieces and a chess board to realize an idea. Theme or idea in chess composition is a combination of moves and various effects, positive and negative, in the formation of mates. Such effects are the pinning and unpinning of pieces, the control of squares, blocking or unblocking of squares, the opening and closing of lines, etc. The composer can develop and take advantage of the possibilities offered by the moves of the pieces on the board. In this way he can create mating positions and means of defense not easily seen in over-the-board play, a mate as the result of three pinned men and the opening and closing of lines of both colors. Everything depends on the fantasy, creativity and skill of the composer. The analysis of the content of a chess problem offers the solver aesthetic satisfaction and spiritual pleasure.Condition:A fine copy.
