PREFACE.
Eighteen years have elapsed since I made an attempt to collect

and arrange some of the finest Chess Problems extant. During that
time so many beautiful compositions have emanated from authors of
all countries, which are scattered among various newspapers and serials,
that it appears to me very desirable to collect and arrange the choicest
of these, and, at the same time, to make a better and larger selection
from the works of our two great English Masters, Bone and Bolton,
the decease of both of whom we have now to lament.
Messrs. J. and W. T. Pierce have given us an excellent collection of

Problems by English Composers only ; but this leaves ample scope for
a more extended selection, such as I have endeavoured to make from
the works of the old Masters, and of the composers of every nation.
In doing this I have deviated from the usual course of separating the
problems of each author, and arranging them according to the number
of moves in each ; and have, instead, placed them together in chronological

order, wherever I have found it practicable to do so : thus exhibiting
the progressive change of style which may have taken place in any
author's compositions,
I have given in Chapter I, a small selection from the works of the

old Masters of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, in studying which
we are struck with their simplicity, and freedom from the depth and
intricacy of the problems of the present day : yet the conceptions
embodied in them are very fine. Ercole Del Rio (Hercules of the
River) was, indeed, well worthy of his name one of his problems ;
(No. 13) exemplifies two of the greatest beaiities of strategy, and in

the next one the modern style is foreshadowed in a most remarkable
manner. "With the present century commences a new era in problem
construction ; Mendheim in Germany, and Bone in England leading
the way, closely followed by Bolton, D'Orville, Anderssen, Brede, &c,
the great Masters of their day, during whose reign, so to speak, Chess
strategy made great strides. With the brilliant and forced sacrifices
and constant checks of the earlier composers there began to be mingled
the quiet coups de repos, which so eminently characterize the stratagems
of the present day. Bolton was, undoubtedly, the great pioneer in
this track, and it is worthy of notice that, in his later compositions,
these fine waiting moves occur more frequently than in his earlier ones.
Of these great Masters many retired from the arena some years before
their death, and were succeeded by another race, among whom we
find (facile principes) Bayer, Healey, Grimshaw, Andrews and many
others, the style of whose works is seen to be still gradually changing,
hard blows giving place to quiet manoeuvres. Compare, for instance,
the problems of Mendheim, the hard hitter, with those of T. Smith,
who seldom strikes a blow till he gives the final coup de grace
Although many of the authors of this epoch are still living, some of
them, alas ! seem inclined to retireon the laurels they have won, and
to leave the field to be filled up by yet another race of strategists, the
heroes of the present day, whose name is becoming Legion, and whose
motto appears to be " Difficilia quae pulchra;" for the simplicity of
the olden time has given place to subtlety, depth, and difficulty.
Instead of the problems in many moves, in which the old school
delighted, and which, for me, will never lose their charm, we have
difficult problems in three and even in two moves. As examples of
extreme difficulty the following problems of recent date may be cited
No. 433, which gained the prize for the best three-move problem in
one of the tourneys just brought to a close; No. 581, No. 726, and
No. 732. A fine composer and strong solver calls this last the most
difficult problem in so few moves that he ever saw. Let these and
others such be compared (after solving them) with any of the problems
in Chapter I, and the enormous increase
of difficulty in modern
compositions will, become apparent.
at once, In arranging the
problems of William Bone I have followed the order in which he
arranged them in his own collection, and which we may fairly assume
to be that in which they were composed. They are selected from
many hundreds, and several of them do not appear ever to have been
published by him the fine stratagem on the frontispiece being one
;
such. The Eev. H. Bolton's are arranged in the order in which they
were published as nearly as I have been able to ascertain. The
beautiful position "Camilla" which adorns, the frontispiece would
have had its place near No. 160, but some years ago it was discovered
to be unsound, and I had to omit it from the collection I believe ;
however, that a slight alteration has corrected it, and I feel great
pleasure in being able to present Camilla to my readers, sound
in
wind and limb, as the great huntress should be when she
" scours the plain,
Plies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main."
I have inserted so large a number of the works of Bone and Bolton
because one of my chief objects was to make a fine collection of their
problems, and to offer it world as a tribute to the memory of
to the
two dear friends. Indeed, without this inducement, I should
probably
have hesitated undertake the work at all. The problems of
to
J B
of Bridport and of T. Smith must always take rank as highly
finished
and beautiful compositions ; and those by E. A. M. M. of Mhow
in
India are, in my estimation, gems of the first water. No. 245, which
I have named the Koh-i-noor, was considered by good judges at the
time of its publication, (about a quarter of a century ago) to be the
finest problem extant. E. A. M. M. is, or was, an Englishman I :
know not whether he is living or not, and I have therefore located

him between the last of our native composers who has passed away
and the first of the survivors.
Of the problems of other composers, deceased and Jiving, I have

made as large a selection as my space would allow. Of two-move
mates I have been sparing, giving, with a few exceptions, only one
such by any author and the same remark applies to suicidal problems.
;
In the selection of the problems of living English composers I have

been most kindly assisted by many of the authors themselves ; and my
thanks are due to Mr. H. J. C. Andrews London for much valuable
of
help in sifting and scrutinizing the problems of Bone and Bolton and :
to Mr. John "Watkinson of Huddersfield for kindly placing at my

disposal his fine chess library and voluminous collection of problems.
The notation I have used

a8 b8 c8 d8 e8 f8 g8 h8
for designating the squares
in the problems and in the a7 b7 c7 d7 e7 f7 g? h7
solutions is the German
a6 b6 c6 d6 e6 f6 g6 h6
one, which I consider to
be especially adapted for a5 b5 c5 d5 e5 f5 g5 h5

the purpose, being more
a4 b4 c4 d4 e4 f4 g4 h4
concise and clear than that
still in use in English a3 b3 c3 d3 e3 f3 h3

books, which I hope ere
long to see superseded. a2 b2 c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 h2

known that an explanation

is scarcely necessary, but for the information of young students I here
give a diagram.
Problems have been called, not inappropriately, the Poetry of

Chess. We might carry our fancy even farther, and say they are the —
flowers of Caissa's garden charming us with their variety, delighting
;
us with their richness and delicacy of structure, and appealing to the

aesthetic sense, in common with all else that is beautiful in Nature and
in Art. Viewing them in this light, I may say, with Montaigne,
"I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing but
the thread that binds them is mine own."
