 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 extraordi-
nary 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 fi 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 Prob-
lem 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 nota-
tion 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 correc-
tion.
