    DEDICATION

    To FRANK HEALEY, Esq.

    Dear Sir,You have, by so many masterpieces of Chess strategy,

    rendered your name, and thereby English Chess Problem Composi-tion, famous all over the world, that we feel there is a peculiar fitnessin availing ourselves of your kind permission to dedicate such a workas this to yourself. Without your support we should certainly not haveundertaken the task, but we have received such ample and cordial helpboth from you and from others almost equally distinguished, that wefeel sure that the work will be of great value, not only to living compos-ers, but also to those who may come after, marking as it unmistakablydoes the character which the art has assumed at the present time. Themost superficial student may see in what striking contrast it stands tothe composition of previous periods, and without question this is duemainly to yourself, as the pioneer of new and suggestive ideas, as re-markable for their depth and beauty, as for their neat and elegant con-struction.

    We are, Dear Sir,Yours faithfully,

    THE EDITORS.February 1876.

    PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

    The present edition of English Chess Problems follows the original edi-tion, published by Longmans, Green & Co., London, in 1876, as closelyas possible as far as contents is concerned. The layout has been modi-fied to place six problems on a page instead of one, in order to reducethe number of pages required, and solutions have been translated intoalgebraic notation, using ‘S’ to indicate knights.

    The only change to the solutions has been to change over-generalstatements (e.g. ‘Q mates’ or ‘Anything’) to specify the move or thepiece in such cases where only one single move or piece was possible.

    All problems have been checked with the help of computer pro-grams. Problemiste by Matthieu Leschemelles was used for problemsto 6 moves. For longer problems, Fritz 4.01 and Crafty with the Nali-mov endgame databases were used for rough checking and explora-tion of the intended solution.

    69 problems were found to be unsound. They have been indicatedas follows:

    [*] problem has more than one solution.[†] problem has no solution.[†*] author’s solution is cooked, but with second solution(s).[?] problem appears to be misprinted.[!] problem with possible correction suggested in solution.[corr.] problem has been corrected from the original edition.In all cases, further details are given in the solution.

    INTRODUCTION

    The history of the progress of Chess problems has yet to be written. Awork, giving, in a chronological order, the best specimens of succes-sive periods would be highly interesting and instructive. The mostcompendious treatise of the kind is Alexandre’s Collection, consistingof several thousand problems of all ages; but these are not arranged onany plan, and a large percentage of them are wrong. The next Englishwork we know of is that published some fifteen years ago by Mr. J. A.Miles (himself a composer of considerable merit), called “ChessGems.” This collection is not restricted to the works of the English orany particular school, but contains the finest specimens, collected bythe author from all times and countries. We think the time has now ar-rived, considering the rapid advance of Chess knowledge, and in par-ticular the general interest taken in problems, that the results of thelast twenty years should again be sifted, and the best preserved in apermanent form. If the idea carried out in the present work be fol-lowed up on the Continent and in America, we should have thegroundwork or basis for a larger and more refined selection, derivedfrom the masterpieces of the whole world, arranged in a proper histor-ical or chronological form. The American Chess Nuts is, indeed, a mag-nificent contribution towards this object. The chief objection to thiswork is that the student has to skim the cream for himself; the objectof the compilers apparently being to embrace as large a number ofproblems as they could gather together without any especial regard totheir quality; and consequently the gems of the collection can be ar-rived at only after long labour and research. This fault we have endeav-oured to avoid. We have, as a general rule, restricted the number ofproblems by each author to twelve. We have devoted a separate chap-ter to the works of authors recently deceased, and have thought it wiseto include some of the more excellent stratagems of our English ChessProblem Fathers, Bolton and Bone, names which will always be re-garded with esteem and admiration. For the selection of Bolton’s mas-terpieces we are greatly indebted to the Rev. Mr. Gape, who very kindlyplaced all Mr. Bolton’s MSS. at our disposal. As most of these problemsrepresent the old school of composition, this chapter forms an admi-rable contrast between the remote and more modern styles, as it is im-mediately succeeded by a chapter of novelties, giving problems by thechief English composers, made especially for this book. It is to thischapter we fancy all Chess lovers will turn with the greatest pleasureand interest. If it had not been for the great kindness of Mr. H. J. C. An-drews, we should have hesitated considerably before resolving to addthe labour of examining so many new productions to that of our other

  • xii ENGLISH CHESS PROBLEMS

    editorial duties. Should this chapter, as we hope and believe is the fact,be without flaw as regards second solutions, and with only here andthere a few unavoidable duals, the sole merit will be due to our es-teemed contributor, whose kind and gratuitous labour we have greatpleasure in publicly acknowledging.

    On comparing ancient and modern problems as a whole (and, ofcourse, excepting well-known and most able ancient productions), wethink it will be found that problems at first were little better than in-genious end games. It was considered the highest art to give Black amost preponderating force and White an apparently hopeless posi-tion, out of which he is made to extricate himself by a series of sacrific-es or successive checks. In general, Black’s moves were all forced. Witha better knowledge of the game, a more scientific style of compositiongradually came into vogue. Instead of the old clumsy mates in so manyhundred moves, or under such and such absurd conditions and re-strictions, composers endeavoured to concentrate their powers onmates in three, four, and five moves. In these days the resemblance ofthe position to an end game is no longer considered necessary or de-sirable; the sole aim of the author now is to render his idea in the sim-plest and most compact form possible, using no superfluous piece orpawn. With a more subtle range of ideas and stratagems, a greaterpunctiliousness obtained to avoid dual methods of solution in reply toany particular form of defence; and, while richness or variety of play isalways aimed at, a single line of attack in reply to each variation isdeemed almost indispensable. To this æsthetic sense of fitness andpurity may be attributed the excellency of modern problems overthose of earlier date. Some, indeed, carry their sensitiveness to an ab-surd extent, and would trammel the genius of an author by a set ofhard and fast grammatical rules; they would proclaim a problem faultyor imperfect because of some second way of solving it, or “dual,” evenin a minor variation, utterly oblivious of artistic exigencies or othermerits, for the sake of which the duals may be allowed to exist. Ofcourse, in consequence of the vast number of skilful composers nowliving and periodically contributing to the shoals of weekly Chess-col-umns appearing all over the world, a far larger number of clever solvershave simultaneously arisen. Many of these now occupy the first rankas analysts, and, although not necessarily composers themselves, fromthe skill and power of insight they have acquired by long practice indiscriminating the merits of a position, they have gradually come to beregarded as the best critics on problems. The older stratagems werenever subjected to half the fire of scrutiny and analysis the productionsof our day have to undergo, and, consequently, there was nothing likethe same accuracy or finish; to this may be added the intense rivalrywhich now exists, and is stimulated by the constant problem tourneys,international and local, which annually occur. This continual friction

  • INTRODUCTION xiii

    and action of mind upon mind has produced the happiest results. Thecompositions of our best men are now as remarkable for their extremeelegance and accurate construction as they are for the grace and beau-ty of their conception. There is, however, we fancy, a danger that thepractised solver may be inclined to condemn a problem too readily, tosatisfy his insatiable delight in the search after duals. It would be wellto lay down some broad general principles to govern composers andexaminers as to the admission or exclusion of duals. As yet, however,there exists great diversity of opinion on the subject, although we be-lieve the liberal views lately expressed will ultimately triumph overthose of some American purists. A problem is a mixed work of scienceand art, and these elements are to a certain extent antagonistic. A flawin the construction, duals in a minor variation, or weak defence, mayreadily be forgiven when they are necessary to secure the original ideaintact, provided always their existence is not due to carelessness butsimply from necessity; the necessity being judged chiefly from the ar-tistic, and not only from the constructive point of view. We trust thestudy of this work, containing, as it undoubtedly does, some of the veryfinest specimens of modern art, will conduce to develope the growinggenius of our future Andrews, Grimshaws, Healeys, &c., &c.

    A few words, perhaps, are needed to explain why we have adoptedthe present arrangement of grouping the problems according to thenumber of moves. Although, by not having all the problems of each au-thor kept together, one great advantage is, to a certain extent, sacri-ficed, viz., that of studying the special characteristics of each compos-er’s style, yet we felt that such loss was more than compensated by thegain in variety arising out of the contrast of stratagems conceived bydifferent minds. Such contrast is certainly very real and of great inter-est. For, extraordinary as it may seem, that, with such a limited mech-anism at command as there is in Chess, there should be so many dis-tinct conceptions realizable; it is still more wonderful that the produc-tions of each author, and, in a wider sense, those of a nation, shouldhave certain marked characteristics which may be found to vary fromtime to time in the same way as its art and literature. Hence the valueof collections such as this, and it will not be without service, if, as webelieve, it fairly reflects the genius of the best English composers, andthus generally of English Chess Problem composition during this cen-tury.*

    * The Editors wish to note that in consequence of the sudden decease of theircontributor, Mr. F. H. Deacon, his set should strictly be placed in Part II., but hisdeath occurred when the work was too far advanced in the press to admit of al-teration. They esteem themselves very fortunate in having a problem by Mr.Deacon composed quite recently, and expressly for this book, and this themore, as he had for some years given up problem composing.

    SOME HINTS ON PROBLEM CONSTRUCTION

    So much has been written lately on the above subject, and so many dif-ferent views expressed, that it is difficult to ascertain the current inwhich the general opinion of composers runs. The few remarks we areabout to offer have no authoritative value, but may be of some assist-ance towards bringing the several points at issue to some final judg-ment. But whatever rules may be laid down they will always be disre-garded, and, to a certain extent, ignored by the leading composers ofeach country. In Chess, as in all other things, genius will not be boundby any fixed rule. It makes its own rules; and rightly so. In suggesting,therefore, the principles which should govern the attempts of youthfulaspirants in the art of problem construction, it is necessary to deducethem from the works of recognised masters, such as Healey of Eng-land, Loyd of America, and Bayer of Germany. It would be the heightof folly to attempt to dictate to such men; we must be content to learnwhat they teach, and to ascertain upon what common principles theirchief works are constructed. First of all, then, we shall find in the prob-lems of these three masters, and notably in those of Healey and Loyd,that there exists a certain affinity between the idea and its expression.The body or form in which the soul or thought is enshrined is just theone of all possible which is most appropriate, or which expresses it inthe happiest and apparently least laboured manner. It is just this fac-ulty or perception of fitness which is peculiar to those highly giftedwith the genius of Chess art. Others may have equally fine or subtleideas, but they are unable to give them their neatest expression; the la-bour and study is too apparent. The result may indeed be a difficultproblem, but the form is artificial and laboured; in fact, they manufac-ture so ugly a body, that they give no pleasure or sense of beauty to theunhappy solver. The value of a problem may be measured by thepleasure it is capable of giving. “Ars est celare artem;” this is peculiarlytrue of Chess problems. In the most beautiful stratagems of Loyd, thepositions are always most natural, and the study which they must havecost the composer is never visible, the idea and form being co-relatedin the fittest manner. The following principles should therefore obtain,first, not to give either side a greater force than is required to expressfully the idea. Whilst it is good to give Black as great a defensive poweras possible (so long as the unity of the idea is not obscured), it is thegreatest mistake to aim at giving him a stronger force than White.Some youthful composers think it wise apparently to crush White bygiving Black an overwhelming force. It is generally most difficult tosolve those problems where Black has only his King, for the simple rea-son that the adversary has then so many possible methods of directing

  • SOME HINTS ON PROBLEM CONSTRUCTION xv

    his attack that it is not easy to detect the one way leading to success.Disparity of force then between the two sides is not to be regarded as afault, whether it occur on one side or the other. The fault to be avoidedin all problems is rather superfluity of force. It is not legitimate to in-sert a piece merely to mislead, but which otherwise has no bearing onthe solution. Each piece on either side should be fully wanted, thepower which it can exert should be utilised to the greatest extent pos-sible. This principle has been aptly termed “economy of force,” and al-though the idea has been ridiculed lately by an editor of one of ourleading Chess magazines, it is one which composers should faithfullyobserve. In fact, it is only by attending to this one golden rule, viz., theemployment of the least force possible, that one can arrive at the fittestconstruction, and, if the fittest, in consequence, the most difficult con-cealment of the idea or stratagem. By its due observance, also, almostall the other evils incidental to problem construction will be found tovanish; namely, clumsy crowding together of pieces, unnatural andimpossible positions, &c., &c.

    This principle of “economy of force” is not necessarily inconsistentwith the object of giving Black a varied and powerful defence. The de-fence must bear on the attack threatened, or the force in which theformer consists must be reckoned superfluous or wasted. Variationsare not to be introduced simply for the sake of rendering the problemmore difficult, unless they are to some extent, at least, in harmony withthe main idea. The composers who best illustrate the advantage of giv-ing Black a rich and varied defence are Andrews of England, and Bayerof Germany; their problems are distinguished principally for the dis-play of great and brilliant resources against a number of powerful andvaried defences. They are like those beautiful sky-rockets, which, aftertheir main strong flight is ended, and all seems over, suddenly scatterbeautiful series of clustered stars, each of which afterwards breaks upinto numberless and ever varied repetitions. This kind of problemforms quite a class of its own, and is, perhaps, the highest developmentof this branch of Chess strategy. Of course, in reply to so many lines ofdefence, it is not always possible to secure one method of solution, andthis leads us to the discussion of the much-vexed question of “duals.”We have never regarded “duals,” or second ways in variations, as theevil of evils to be avoided in problems. Of course, they are to be guard-ed against, but as we have already stated our views pretty fully, in theIntroduction, on this point, it is not necessary to repeat them here. Suf-fice it to say, that they become less objectionable the more remote thevariation in which they occur lies from the main line of play or centralidea of the problem. We would next say a few words on “strategy.” Al-though the artifices resorted to are limited, and might easily be tabu-lated, still this does not constitute the virtue or essence of a problem,any more than the leaves which compose a flower represent the

  • xvi ENGLISH CHESS PROBLEMS

    flower. For, were this the case, not only would problem compositionsoon cease to be an art, but it would as soon cease to be cared for orpractised. The artifice stands in the same relation to the strategy as theverse and metre of a poem stand in relation to the poem. There is anameless something besides, in the structure or expression of an idea,an exquisite balancing of force against force, a manifestation of skilland tact in concealing the sacrifice, or the reserve of energy concen-trated by some apparently aimless coup, which constitute the beautyand strength of a position. But to the beginner we may say a few wordshere, which may prove of service. First, then, avoid positions in whichan idea is evolved by successive checks, as such, whatever the ingenu-ity, and however numerous the variations, are comparatively easy, andbelong to a lower order of composition altogether. Again, composersare at first very fond of making the main idea consist in a series of sac-rifices. Now, such problems are not of the highest rank at all, as refer-ence to the problems by the best composers in this volume will amplydemonstrate. We may especially cite J. B. of Bridport and Healey as ex-emplifying this. In our view, the finest conceptions are those where, bysome move or set of moves difficult to see, either through their subtle-ty or the manifold resources in defence, a store of energy is laid upwhich breaks out at last and ensures defeat. Others may prefer concep-tions of a different kind; but in all there must be concealment of de-sign, not through over-crowding, but through what we can only defineas naturalness of position and a range of choice of moves as extensiveas possible. One word on two move problems. Such have been decriedas too easy for any but tyros, and not worth the pains bestowed ontheir composition. This we consider is a great mistake. Of all problems,a good two mover is probably the most difficult to compose; for here,if anywhere, duals are to be avoided in reply to every move worthy thename of a defence; it is essential here, if anywhere, that the idea shouldbe concealed, and this can only be done in general by allowing consid-erable freedom or scope on both sides with plenty of resources on thepart of Black. These problems are sui generis, as in a two mover morethan any other there is a balance of power, if we may so speak, which,if slightly disturbed by any move but the right one, destroys the harmo-ny contemplated; hence the niceness and delicacy of the artifice; toensure, amidst the clash of so many forces, a subtle but exact stroke,which suffices, in each case, to effect with some piece a mate nextmove. Sometimes accordingly the full beauty of a “coup de repos” isbrought out; sometimes Black's own strokes here and there are usedagainst himself; sometimes we have, on both sides, checks by discov-ery, like the quick crossing of swords in a duel.

    Problems of three moves are and will probably remain the mostpopular and pleasing; because there is just enough difficulty aboutthem without the intricacy and depth which belong to others in four or

    five moves. At the same time, in the latter, there is a scope for manœu-vre and design, serving to render many problems of this class pro-found studies, containing many beautiful variations.

    In conclusion, young composers must learn to depend upon them-selves, and upon their own sense of what is right. Excellency in the artwill never come by mere drudgery or study of other men's works, un-less accompanied by a love for Chess and a special and innate aptitudefor it. We shall watch with interest the future development of this mostbeautiful and fascinating study—for of further development it is with-out question susceptible—in just the same way as of late years it hastaken new forms of a distinct character, and may do so again.

    There is no doubt that the study of Chess has much increased,among all classes. The number of Chess periodicals now in circulation,of good works recently published on the subject, and of new clubs con-stantly being formed all over the country, prove this. It is greatly to bedesired that our working classes should learn more and more to sharein the pure and intellectual enjoyment of the game, which would thusgradually be the means of weaning them from other debasing, if not vi-cious, pursuits or sources of recreation.
