INTRODUCTION.
CHESS without the use of Queens and Rooks
sounds impossible. As a game it would
doubtless be so; but so many excellent problems
have been composed along these restricted lines,
that any solver who lost the Queens and Rooks
from his set of chessmen would still have material
for almost endless study. My good friend and
collaborator, H. Staerker of Bournemouth, Eng-
land, recently sent me 2,500 positions in which
White's force, apart from King and Pawns, was
limited to Knights and Bishops — the result of only
a few weeks' search. This book is largely based
on his collection. All problems in four or more
moves are omitted, and the restrictions as to
force are extended to Black; but even so the work
of selection has not been an easy one. The re-
sult should at least prove an interesting study of
the interplay of the minor officers; and any solver
who masters all the problems should become an
adept at handling his Knights and Bishops in
more complex positions. The problems are graded
in groups, according to the number of White
Knights or Bishops used. Pawn promotions have
consistently been avoided, where they involved
the making of the rejected officers. Nos. 1, 19
and 48 are distinctly members of our class. The
promotions in Nos. 17, 24 and 78 are rather in-
11 INTRODUCTION.
cidental. Black Pawns cannot, of course, be pre-

vented from claiming Rooks or Queens, but the
point of No. 22 turns on the reply to the try,
1. QSd5, and the problem belongs clearly in the
collection.
No
regular arrangement according to themes
was practicable, as the different problems touch
at so many points. The restriction as to force,
however, results in certain outline characteristics.
The attack of a Knight is essentially diagonal, as
is that of the Bishop; consequently problems in-
volving flight squares will for the most part have
them diagonally. Indeed, there exists a whole
multitude of problems with only minor officers,
in which the Black King has three or four diagon-
al flights, usually on the move preceding the mate.
They are very tame affairs, and repeat one another
so often as to deserve relegation to the pigeon-
hole of worn-out themes. Nos. 32, 38, 49, 54, 55
are the best or earliest examples of the various
flight-principles involved.
The most prominent strategic characteristic of
the collection is the self-blocks by Black. These
occur in every other problem more or less con-
spicuously. They should especially be studied
and compared in the Frontispiece and in Nos. 25,
30, 31, 48, 56, 60, 61, 64, 65, 74, 75 and 79.
Another element to be noted is the way in
which the minor officers can be made to play for
position according as Black relaxes its guard in
various directions or furnishes convenient blocks.
Nos. 44, 52, 53, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 87 all
illustrate some phase of this form of skirmishing.
It will readily be seen from the last two groups
mentioned that in general the problems in th£

INTRODUCTION. Ill
collectionmust be of waiting, rather than threat,

strategy; and this trait holds good throughout.
Less general resemblances and groupings can
be found by the reader according to his personal
taste; such comparisons will serve to make the
book something more than a series of isolated
puzzles. A few hints may be given at random,
to be made the starting-point for further com-
parisons.
1. Problems with "twin" features: Nos. 4 and
5, and 98 and 99.
2. Problems involving en-passant strategy:
Nos. 62 and 100.
3. Black King to capture White Knights on
adjacent squares: Nos. 89, 90, 91, 92.
4. Echo mates on squares of opposite colors:
Nos. 39, 40, 41, 92 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98. Com-
,
parison should be made between the different

mates 'echoed.
5. Roman idea: No. 51.
6. Indian and ambush strategy: Nos. 6, 66,
67, 68.
7. Grab theme: No. 23.
8. Sparring of White King with Black Knight:
Nos. 5, 15, 29, 58, 62.
9. Sparring of White Knight with Black Bish-
op: No. 26.
10. Sparring of White Bishop with Black
Bishop No. 83.
:
11. Making a path for a White Pawn to mate:

Nos. 2, 36, 37, 83.
12. White Pawns monopolize the main play:
Nos. 16, 17, 100.
13. Cornered King themes: Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8,
12, 15, 20, 23.
IV INTRODUCTION.
14. Black force limited to King: Nos. 55,

80, 84.
15. No White Pawns: Nos. 9, 13, 20, 22, 46,
51, 93.
16. So many problems illustrate pure and
model mates that it is useless to enumerate them.
The following by English and American com-
posers are noteworthy: Nos. 45, 72, 85, 88
and 94.
It will be noticed that many of the problems
are of recent date. There is no question that as

the refinement of problem composition continues,
similar results will be achieved with smaller and
smaller material, so that more and more themes
will be brought within the compass of the Knight
and Bishop class. Take No. 33. The four mates
here combined have been published under differ-
ent names innumerable times, certainly several
hundred times. No. 33 was the first example with-
out a White Queen, but within the last three years,
at least a dozen other renderings without a Queen
have been published. This modern craze for the
expression of ideas in their lowest terms and
purest forms has its advantages as well as its
drawbacks. The drawbacks are the many anaemic

presentations of worn-out themes which no column
or magazine has as yet shown the strength of
mind to refuse its diagrams to. The advantages
are the occasional masterpieces of concise strategy
and gem-like purity which I have tried to gather
together in these pages.
