121 CHESS PROBLEMS

J. W. Abbott
[887]

An Electronic Edition
Anders Thulin, Malm 2005-0-24
 PREFACE

A work like this requires little in the way of introduction. Individually

its contents have already made their bow to the public, they are but
gathered thus to renew old acquaintanceships, possibly, if the hope
be not presumptuous, to make their circle of friends a little larger. The
faces of a few, perhaps, wear the freshness that comes of forgetfulness,
but all have undergone the ordeal of a rst appearance elsewhere, and
now present themselves in no other guise than that of old stagers.
Criticism has long ago spent its force against them, and needs here to
be neither deprecated nor deed.
Equally unnecessary are any remarks on the history or philosophy
of Chess strategy. The learned world has probably at least as much
regard for problems as paradoxes, and those anxious to provide it with
knowledge thereon may reasonably expect for reward a gratitude too
profound to be expressed. But that is not the object of this Collection. Its
purpose will be fully attained if it interests any one who, caring nothing
for the why or the how, delights in that particular form of enigma
that is propounded in terms of Chess.
In the selection of the various positions, the Author has been largely
guided by the popular judgment at the time of publication, and he has
included all those which have received in Problem Tourneys the more
emphatic recognition of a judges award. Without entering into particu-
lars of time and place, the following have won prizes, either separately
or as parts of successful sets, viz.:Nos. , 5, 6, 2, 5, 52, 59, 60, 69, 89,
90, 92, 93, 00, 02, 04, 05.

 NOTES TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

This edition is based on the original edition, published and printed in

887 by Jas. Wade, 8 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden.
All problems have been tested for unsoundness, using the compu-
ter program Problemist 2.20. Found errors have been indicated in the
stipulation: [] indicates a problem without a solution in the stipulated
number of moves, [*] a problem with multiple solutions, and [] the
existence of a short solution. In each case, further details are given in
the solution.
In the printed copy used to prepare this new edition, the unsound-
ness of problem 0 was noted, along with a suggested correction in
a marginal note. As it is not known if this is simply a correction of a
misprint, the details have been given only in the solution.
In a few cases, known sources for the problems have been added.
Solutions have been converted to algebraic notation, using S to
indicate knights, following modern problem convention.
