PREFACE
It seems to be custom to say a few words to the public, when offering a collection of Chess Problems, and this custom I shall shortly avail myself of. The stratagems contained in this book are a selection from the many Problems composed by me, and published during the last six years in all the leading journals and magazines at home and abroad. I do not claim for my problems any especial or extraordinary profundity, nor do I intend to set myself up as a rival to other Chess authors; but I believe that any Chess-player who takes the trouble to look through my book, will nd in it amusement and pleasure. I do not pretend to be able to give hints on construction, or to lay down dogmatic rules in Problem art. In conclusion, I ought to state that I have always been treated with the greatest courtesy by every Chess Editor with whom I have corresponded, with, I regret to say, one notable exception.

PREFACE TO ELECTRONICAL EDITION

This is an electronical edition of John Thursbys Seventy-Five Chess Problems, published in 1883 by Jas. Wade, London. The main changes are: changing the layout from one diagram per page to four, and translating solutions from descriptive notation to algebraic. All problems have been checked by computer: Matthieu Leschemelles Problemiste was used for all problems up to and including 5 moves; Popeye was used for the remaining 6-mover. Found problems have been indicated as follows: [] indicates a problem without a solution, and [*] indicates a problem with several key moves. In the solutions section, found problems are documented in square brackets, with an occasional suggestion for correction.
