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 Thursby’s 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
Leschemelle’s 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.

121 CHESS PROBLEMS

J. W. Abbott

An Electronic Edition

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 first 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 defied.
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 judge’s 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.

THE LIBERAL PATRON OF CHESS,

this collection of chess problems


is respectfully inscribed by
the author
PREFACE

In offering this collection of problems to the Chess community, I feel


that a few prefatory words are required by way of explanation. Several
previous composers have come before the public in the same manner,
among whom I may enumerate Mr. Kling, Mr. Brown of Leeds, and J.
B. of Bridport. Their example has given me confidence, and I venture
to hope that the present collection will be found to bear some features
especially distinctive of English problems, such as may justify my
publishing it in a separate form.
It is certain that the great body of Chess amateurs have always felt
an especial interest in the composition and solution of problems.
For ten persons who take up a magazine or newspaper to examine a
game, probably a hundred may be found who only look to the prob-
lems. How often do we see a man of powerful brain devoting a spare
half hour to the careful scrutiny of a diagram in the Illustrated London
News. This study is rewarded by that legitimate gratification which the
successful exertion of the intellect always brings with it. But the same
man would not, and could not, have devoted the necessary time and
energy to a difficult contest over the board.
The innumerable solutions of those problems constantly forward-
ed to the Era, the Illustrated London News, the Field, and many other
newspapers, all agree with one consent in the same story, viz., the in-
creasing popularity of problem making and solving.
Problems are indeed the poetry of Chess. The same depth of imagi-
nation, the same quick perception of the beautiful, the same fecundity
of invention, which we demand from the poet, are to be found, under
a different form, in the humble labours of the problematist. Surely,
without pressing the analogy too far, we may say that the thirty-two

5

pieces form the alphabet of the composer, while the Chess board is
the paper, and the positions finally resulting may be fairly likened to
so many stanzas. Nor are painting and sculpture alien themes. But
why should I proceed
“To paint new colours in the bow of Heaven
And throw fresh perfume on the violet.”

Turning for a brief moment to the history of problems, it cannot


but strike the student with some surprise to discover how few names,
comparatively speaking, are inscribed on the honourable roll of in-
ventors. From the illustrious Damiano downwards, the following
brief register includes, I believe, most of the celebrities to our own
day:—Lolli, Ponziani, Stamma, D’Orville, Küper, Mendheim, Kiese-
ritzky, and Silbersmidt. In our own time, we have indeed a brilliant
constellation of genius, in which Anderssen, Kling, Bayer, Horwitz,
and Grosdemange, among our continental brethren—Angas, Bolton,
Bone, K. A. Browne, J. B. of Bridport, Campbell, M‘Arthur, Grimshaw,
T. Smith, C. W. of Sunbury, and Turton, among ourselves, with Theod-
ore Brown, S. Lloyd, and E. B. Cook in America—shine pre-eminent.
Coming now to compare the ancient with the modern school of
problems, I feel much diffidence in attempting so delicatc a task. It
has been justly observed by a clever Spanish writer that there is as
much difference between the styles of two skilful problem composers
as between the paintings of Raphael and Titian, the one excelling in
expression, the other in colour. Similarly one problematist is known
for his originality and brilliancy of conception, while another excels
in giving that artistic finish which really constitutes the perfect prob-
lem. In truth, the beauty of a problem does not consist so much in the
intricacy of the theme as in the manner in which the idea is treated
or woven in by the composer. The finest end games have often a very
simple solution, but it is so hidden among numerous other modes of
play which mislead the solver that it is very difficult to discover.
The main feature in the works of the earlier composers is the great
number of moves required for their solution. There are in general few
variations, but a series of forced checks and bold sacrifices conducts
the student to the final mate. Though difficult to solve, they were com-
preface 7

paratively easy to invent. In a word, although much admired on ac-


count of their intricacy and ingenuity, they lack the depth and com-
plexity which characterise the best productions of the present day.
Perhaps the most convenient way of classifying problems is to di-
vide them into three main branches—viz., 1. Ordinary problems, i. e.,
those in which mate is to be given in a certain number of moves; 2.
Conditional problems, i. e., those in which mate is to be given by a
particular piece or Pawn, or upon a particular square, or in which the
mate is hampered by some similar stipulations; 3. Suicidal Problems,
i. e., those in which White compels Black to checkmate him in a cer-
tain number of moves. The last two species are manifestly unpopular
with English players of the present day. They are more artificial, more
unnatural, less practical, and less instructive than the former. Upon
this head I cannot better express my deliberate judgment than in the
language of Herr Lowenthal in his preface to the Era Problem Tourna-
ment. “Suicidal and conditional problems have gone out of fashion,
and the inference is, that the fanciful modes of play which they illus-
trate have fallen into desuetude. Few games are now played in which
the giver of odds undertakes to compel his adversary to mate him or
to give mate on a marked square, and the kind of problems referred
to have consequently lost their use, and with it their interest. We have
fewer problems in which it is almost insuperably difficult to hide the
design, fewer still of those interminable studies in which the moves
approach in point of number to the tales of the thousand and one
nights. In short, mere trifles are disregarded, and ponderous puzzles
are thrown aside. The lovers of problems are turning to the elegant,
the original, and the practically useful, and in that way can render
their pursuit profitable to the student and interesting to the accom-
plished Chess-player.’’

Notes to Electronic Edition

This edition is based on the 1866 edition, published by Longmans,


Green & Co., London. Solutions have been converted to algebraic
form, but otherwise follow the original.
All problems have been computer-tested, using Matthieu Le-
schemelle’s Problemiste. Found errors have been indicated below the
diagram as follows: [†] indicates a problem without a solution in the
stipulated number of moves, [*] indicates a problem with multiple so-
lutions, and [§] a problem with short solution(s). Details have been
added, in brackets, to the solutions, though minor errors have been
silently corrected.

700 CHESS PROBLEMS
SELECTED FROM THE COMPOSITIONS OF

Mrs. W. J. BAIRD
[1902]

An Electronic Edition
Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2002-11-18
PREFACE

The Chess Problems contained in this volume are the product of


the labour and recreation of some fourteen years. I say “labour,”
because I am not such a Chess enthusiast as to believe that a col-
lection such as this can be produced without persistent applica-
tion partaking of the nature of work; and “recreation,” because
the work has been a pleasure—how great a pleasure only a com-
poser can fully realize. Although a large number of the problems
have been republished in numerous papers at home and abroad,
only the name of the publication in which each originally ap-
peared is given. Exclusive of the prize list, in about a dozen cases
with a view to an improvement, they have been more or less reset
since their first appearance. The six added to this collection in let-
terpress at the end of the Solutions are the last composed.
To the best of my belief there is not a single instance of a dual
continuation, and not being an admirer of dual mates, they are
very few and far between.
A list of prize problems will be found, but it must not be taken
for granted that it contains the essence of the volume.
Solutions are given in full for the benefit of those who are not far
advanced in the Problem Art. As will be seen, red represents the
White, and blue the Black pieces.

PREFACE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITION

The original edition was published by Henry Sotheran & Co, Lon-
don, 1902. As the original preface indicates, it was printed in red
and blue.
In this edition, solutions have been converted from descriptive
notation to algebraic, using the letter ‘S’ to indicate knights. The
distinction between plain, double and discovered mates present
in the original has not been retained, except as far as lines that
were considered separate because of this distinction have also
been kept separate in this edition. One example of this is the first
and third line in the solution to problem .
Variations omitted from the original solutions, indicated by
‘&c.’, have been added, in brackets.
An extra section, containing publishing information (with occa-
sional corrections of problem source), and notes about the prob-
lems taken from Mrs. Baird’s notebooks has been added after the
solutions.

The dates given in the original proved to be the date of the


award given. The present edition tries to make this clearer by
printing them together with the award, rather than with the
source, as in the original.
In the original several unnumbered problems were given in let-
terpress: these problems have been set in diagrams, and, if associ-
ated with another numbered problem, given the same number
followed by A, B, C, etc. in brackets. The six diagrams appearing

7
8 baird: 700 chess problems

last in the two-mover section were originally printed at the end of


the solutions section.

All problems have been computer tested, using Matthieu


Leschemelle’s Problemiste . ., except for the last two problems
which were checked with Popeye. Only four unsound problems
were found: 307, 627, 643 and 697.
In those very few cases where computer testing showed the
presence of moves or variations not completely covered in the
original, these have been added to the solution in brackets, and set
in italics.
Occasional errors in mating moves have been silently correct-
ed.

Acknowledgements

I am very grateful to C. P. Ravilious, who generously made his


notes on the original publishing dates as well as the history of
some of the problems, taken from Mrs. Baird’s own notebooks,
available for this edition.

I also wish to thank the Library of the British Chess Problem Soci-
ety for preserving Mrs. Baird’s notebooks and for making them
available for research and publication.

most successful in the Two-Move series.
—«·»—
The fascination of composing has always been far greater to me
than that of solving. However, I have now and then entered a so-
lution tourney, with the result that I have been successful in win-
ning a few prizes. Over the board play has its charm, but only twice

* The term “successful” indicates that the problems had the fewest number
of solvers, and were therefore considered the most difficult.

have I engaged in serious competition. In 1897, I entered for the


Ladies’ Championship for Sussex, which I won without the loss of
a game; and in 1900, in the Ladies’ section of Leisure Hour, I tied
for first prize.

To a strict economist this might
appear a still happier rendering of 1st Prize, 1893
No. 561. It will be seen, [...], that a
White Bishop has been removed,
also a Black Knight, and that the
Black Bishop introduced on K8 is
the means of producing another
pure mating position, viz.: 1. Se4
Sc3 2. Sd2† Bxd2 3. Bb3‡.

FAREWELL

My task is done; and like the bard of old,


My toils are over; and my tale is told;
Yet still I pause beneath the enchanter’s spell–
Still hesitate to say the word “Farewell”:
But howso we may linger o’er the past
The parting word must be pronounced at last.
So, critics all, I thank your kind attention
To these few pages of my poor invention ;
Whether your verdict be for good or ill–
In praise or blame–yea–I would thank you still.
But should I one approving glance descry
My goal is numbered–or, in fact, if I
One smile–one joy–one pleasing look have won,
Then farewell all, my destined task is done.

700 CHESS PROBLEMS
SELECTED FROM THE COMPOSITIONS OF

Mrs. W. J. BAIRD
[1902]

An Electronic Edition
Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2002-11-18
PREFACE

The Chess Problems contained in this volume are the product of


the labour and recreation of some fourteen years. I say “labour,”
because I am not such a Chess enthusiast as to believe that a col-
lection such as this can be produced without persistent applica-
tion partaking of the nature of work; and “recreation,” because
the work has been a pleasure—how great a pleasure only a com-
poser can fully realize. Although a large number of the problems
have been republished in numerous papers at home and abroad,
only the name of the publication in which each originally ap-
peared is given. Exclusive of the prize list, in about a dozen cases
with a view to an improvement, they have been more or less reset
since their first appearance. The six added to this collection in let-
terpress at the end of the Solutions are the last composed.
To the best of my belief there is not a single instance of a dual
continuation, and not being an admirer of dual mates, they are
very few and far between.
A list of prize problems will be found, but it must not be taken
for granted that it contains the essence of the volume.
Solutions are given in full for the benefit of those who are not far
advanced in the Problem Art. As will be seen, red represents the
White, and blue the Black pieces.

PREFACE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITION

The original edition was published by Henry Sotheran & Co, Lon-
don, 1902. As the original preface indicates, it was printed in red
and blue.
In this edition, solutions have been converted from descriptive
notation to algebraic, using the letter ‘S’ to indicate knights. The
distinction between plain, double and discovered mates present
in the original has not been retained, except as far as lines that
were considered separate because of this distinction have also
been kept separate in this edition. One example of this is the first
and third line in the solution to problem .
Variations omitted from the original solutions, indicated by
‘&c.’, have been added, in brackets.
An extra section, containing publishing information (with occa-
sional corrections of problem source), and notes about the prob-
lems taken from Mrs. Baird’s notebooks has been added after the
solutions.

The dates given in the original proved to be the date of the


award given. The present edition tries to make this clearer by
printing them together with the award, rather than with the
source, as in the original.
In the original several unnumbered problems were given in let-
terpress: these problems have been set in diagrams, and, if associ-
ated with another numbered problem, given the same number
followed by A, B, C, etc. in brackets. The six diagrams appearing

7
8 baird: 700 chess problems

last in the two-mover section were originally printed at the end of


the solutions section.

All problems have been computer tested, using Matthieu


Leschemelle’s Problemiste . ., except for the last two problems
which were checked with Popeye. Only four unsound problems
were found: 307, 627, 643 and 697.
In those very few cases where computer testing showed the
presence of moves or variations not completely covered in the
original, these have been added to the solution in brackets, and set
in italics.
Occasional errors in mating moves have been silently correct-
ed.

Acknowledgements

I am very grateful to C. P. Ravilious, who generously made his


notes on the original publishing dates as well as the history of
some of the problems, taken from Mrs. Baird’s own notebooks,
available for this edition.

I also wish to thank the Library of the British Chess Problem Soci-
ety for preserving Mrs. Baird’s notebooks and for making them
available for research and publication.

The fascination of composing has always been far greater to me
than that of solving. However, I have now and then entered a so-
lution tourney, with the result that I have been successful in win-
ning a few prizes. Over the board play has its charm, but only twice

of solvers, and were therefore considered the most difficult.

Ladies’ Championship for Sussex, which I won without the loss of
a game; and in 1900, in the Ladies’ section of Leisure Hour, I tied
for first prize.

To a strict economist this might
appear a still happier rendering of 1st Prize, 1893
No. 561. It will be seen, [...], that a
White Bishop has been removed,
also a Black Knight, and that the
Black Bishop introduced on K8 is
the means of producing another
pure mating position, viz.: 1. Se4
Sc3 2. Sd2† Bxd2 3. Bb3‡.

FAREWELL

My task is done; and like the bard of old,


My toils are over; and my tale is told;
Yet still I pause beneath the enchanter’s spell–
Still hesitate to say the word “Farewell”:
But howso we may linger o’er the past
The parting word must be pronounced at last.
So, critics all, I thank your kind attention
To these few pages of my poor invention ;
Whether your verdict be for good or ill–
In praise or blame–yea–I would thank you still.
But should I one approving glance descry
My goal is numbered–or, in fact, if I
One smile–one joy–one pleasing look have won,
Then farewell all, my destined task is done.

PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

This volume is an electronic edition of Canadian Chess Problems, published


 by C. F. Stubbs, St. John, N.B., Canada and printed by Ellis, Robertson & Co
at the “Globe Press.” It has been republished as an experiment in electronic
publishing, and chosen partly because of its modest size, partly because of its
relative scarcity.
The important change introduced in this edition is the translation of the so-
lutions into algebraic form; the remaining changes are only editorial. The fol-
lowing printing errors in the original have been corrected:

Problem : White K on H7 changed to White Q.


Problem : Black to play, not White

All problems have been tested for serious errors, which have been indicated in
the stipulation line as follows:

[†] A problem without a solution


[*] A problem with several solutions

Further details, and an occasional suggestion for correction, can be found in the
solution section.

For the typographically inclined reader, the text has been produced using Ado-
be FrameMaker with the text of the book set in Utopia™ from Adobe, and the di-
agrams in Hastings Diagram from Alpine Electronics.

As far as I am concerned, this electronical edition is free, and may be used by an-
yone in any way whatsoever.

CRUMBS FROM
THE CHESS-BOARD

a selection from the


problems composed by

CHARLES A. GILBERG

[1890]

An Electronic Edition
Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2002-02-21
PREFACE

As a recreation for the idle hours of life, the wide and varied do-
main of chess, but more especially that branch so aptly termed the
Poetry of the game, has been to me during the past thirty years an
unfailing source of delightful entertainment – a perennial ban-
quet, indeed, that has never suffered the appetite for its social and
intellectual fare to languish. Votaries of every clime and country
have contributed the fruits of their genius and industry to the re-
past, and many warm and valued friendships have been cement-
ed by kindred tastes and sympathies. But how few, alas, of the
early companions remain to share the feast! The empire of earthly
pleasures is frail and uncertain, and its curfew must toll for us all.
While lingering at a somewhat late and protracted dessert with an
ever unsated yearning for Caïssa’s bounty, I have gathered up
some of the crumbs that have fallen from my table, which I wish
to offer as a souvenir to the friends who still abide to minister to
my enjoyment. If, to them, these morsels will serve to impart an
occasional gleam of pleasant recollection, the aim and ambition
which were the impelling influences that led to this collection will
be fully gratified.
In the following pages the conventional terms of White and
Black have been retained, but the forces of the chess-board are re-
spectively presented in Red and Blue. With the exception of a few
of the older compositions included in this selection, that have
been reset and remoulded, all have passed through the ordeal of
public scrutiny, and I trust that it may not be unreasonable to
hope that they will successfully maintain an unblemished integri-
ty against all further analytical research.
C. A. G.
Brooklyn, September, 1890.

PREFACE TO ELECTRONICAL EDITION

This edition is based on the original edition, published privately in


New York, 1890.
As the preface indicates the original was printed in colour: red
and dark blue was used for the white and black pieces, which were
set on a board printed in grey. These elegancies have not been re-
tained in the present edition.

Solutions have been converted from descriptive to algebraic


notation. Problems up to five moves have been checked by Mat-
thieu Leschemelle’s computer program Problemiste 2.14b. Re-
maining problems up to 7 moves have been checked by Popeye,
and all further problems only briefly tested for obvious errors.
Any found errors have been indicated in the solutions in brack-
ets, and in the diagrams by the symbol ‘[†]’, indicating a problem
without a solution in the stipulated number of moves, and the
symbol ‘[*]’, indicating a problem with several solutions.
A few source references have been added.

DEDICATION

To FRANK HEALEY, Esq.

Dear Sir,
You have, by so many masterpieces of Chess strategy,
rendered your name, and thereby English Chess Problem Composi-
tion, famous all over the world, that we feel there is a peculiar fitness
in availing ourselves of your kind permission to dedicate such a work
as this to yourself. Without your support we should certainly not have
undertaken the task, but we have received such ample and cordial help
both from you and from others almost equally distinguished, that we
feel sure that the work will be of great value, not only to living compos-
ers, but also to those who may come after, marking as it unmistakably
does the character which the art has assumed at the present time. The
most superficial student may see in what striking contrast it stands to
the composition of previous periods, and without question this is due
mainly to yourself, as the pioneer of new and suggestive ideas, as re-
markable for their depth and beauty, as for their neat and elegant con-
struction.

We are, Dear Sir,


Yours faithfully,
THE EDITORS.
February 1876.

PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

The present edition of English Chess Problems follows the original edi-
tion, published by Longmans, Green & Co., London, in 1876, as closely
as possible as far as contents is concerned. The layout has been modi-
fied to place six problems on a page instead of one, in order to reduce
the number of pages required, and solutions have been translated into
algebraic notation, using ‘S’ to indicate knights.
The only change to the solutions has been to change over-general
statements (e.g. ‘Q mates’ or ‘Anything’) to specify the move or the
piece in such cases where only one single move or piece was possible.

All problems have been checked with the help of computer pro-
grams. Problemiste by Matthieu Leschemelles was used for problems
to 6 moves. For longer problems, Fritz 4.01 and Crafty with the Nali-
mov endgame databases were used for rough checking and explora-
tion of the intended solution.
69 problems were found to be unsound. They have been indicated
as follows:
[*] problem has more than one solution.
[†] problem has no solution.
[†*] author’s solution is cooked, but with second solution(s).
[?] problem appears to be misprinted.
[!] problem with possible correction suggested in solution.
[corr.] problem has been corrected from the original edition.
In all cases, further details are given in the solution.

INTRODUCTION

The history of the progress of Chess problems has yet to be written. A


work, giving, in a chronological order, the best specimens of succes-
sive periods would be highly interesting and instructive. The most
compendious treatise of the kind is Alexandre’s Collection, consisting
of several thousand problems of all ages; but these are not arranged on
any plan, and a large percentage of them are wrong. The next English
work we know of is that published some fifteen years ago by Mr. J. A.
Miles (himself a composer of considerable merit), called “Chess
Gems.” This collection is not restricted to the works of the English or
any particular school, but contains the finest specimens, collected by
the author from all times and countries. We think the time has now ar-
rived, considering the rapid advance of Chess knowledge, and in par-
ticular the general interest taken in problems, that the results of the
last twenty years should again be sifted, and the best preserved in a
permanent form. If the idea carried out in the present work be fol-
lowed up on the Continent and in America, we should have the
groundwork or basis for a larger and more refined selection, derived
from the masterpieces of the whole world, arranged in a proper histor-
ical or chronological form. The American Chess Nuts is, indeed, a mag-
nificent contribution towards this object. The chief objection to this
work is that the student has to skim the cream for himself; the object
of the compilers apparently being to embrace as large a number of
problems as they could gather together without any especial regard to
their quality; and consequently the gems of the collection can be ar-
rived at only after long labour and research. This fault we have endeav-
oured to avoid. We have, as a general rule, restricted the number of
problems by each author to twelve. We have devoted a separate chap-
ter to the works of authors recently deceased, and have thought it wise
to include some of the more excellent stratagems of our English Chess
Problem Fathers, Bolton and Bone, names which will always be re-
garded with esteem and admiration. For the selection of Bolton’s mas-
terpieces we are greatly indebted to the Rev. Mr. Gape, who very kindly
placed all Mr. Bolton’s MSS. at our disposal. As most of these problems
represent the old school of composition, this chapter forms an admi-
rable contrast between the remote and more modern styles, as it is im-
mediately succeeded by a chapter of novelties, giving problems by the
chief English composers, made especially for this book. It is to this
chapter we fancy all Chess lovers will turn with the greatest pleasure
and interest. If it had not been for the great kindness of Mr. H. J. C. An-
drews, we should have hesitated considerably before resolving to add
the labour of examining so many new productions to that of our other

xi
xii ENGLISH CHESS PROBLEMS

editorial duties. Should this chapter, as we hope and believe is the fact,
be without flaw as regards second solutions, and with only here and
there a few unavoidable duals, the sole merit will be due to our es-
teemed contributor, whose kind and gratuitous labour we have great
pleasure in publicly acknowledging.
On comparing ancient and modern problems as a whole (and, of
course, excepting well-known and most able ancient productions), we
think it will be found that problems at first were little better than in-
genious end games. It was considered the highest art to give Black a
most preponderating force and White an apparently hopeless posi-
tion, out of which he is made to extricate himself by a series of sacrific-
es or successive checks. In general, Black’s moves were all forced. With
a better knowledge of the game, a more scientific style of composition
gradually came into vogue. Instead of the old clumsy mates in so many
hundred moves, or under such and such absurd conditions and re-
strictions, composers endeavoured to concentrate their powers on
mates in three, four, and five moves. In these days the resemblance of
the position to an end game is no longer considered necessary or de-
sirable; the sole aim of the author now is to render his idea in the sim-
plest and most compact form possible, using no superfluous piece or
pawn. With a more subtle range of ideas and stratagems, a greater
punctiliousness obtained to avoid dual methods of solution in reply to
any particular form of defence; and, while richness or variety of play is
always aimed at, a single line of attack in reply to each variation is
deemed almost indispensable. To this æsthetic sense of fitness and
purity may be attributed the excellency of modern problems over
those of earlier date. Some, indeed, carry their sensitiveness to an ab-
surd extent, and would trammel the genius of an author by a set of
hard and fast grammatical rules; they would proclaim a problem faulty
or imperfect because of some second way of solving it, or “dual,” even
in a minor variation, utterly oblivious of artistic exigencies or other
merits, for the sake of which the duals may be allowed to exist. Of
course, in consequence of the vast number of skilful composers now
living and periodically contributing to the shoals of weekly Chess-col-
umns appearing all over the world, a far larger number of clever solvers
have simultaneously arisen. Many of these now occupy the first rank
as analysts, and, although not necessarily composers themselves, from
the skill and power of insight they have acquired by long practice in
discriminating the merits of a position, they have gradually come to be
regarded as the best critics on problems. The older stratagems were
never subjected to half the fire of scrutiny and analysis the productions
of our day have to undergo, and, consequently, there was nothing like
the same accuracy or finish; to this may be added the intense rivalry
which now exists, and is stimulated by the constant problem tourneys,
international and local, which annually occur. This continual friction
INTRODUCTION xiii

and action of mind upon mind has produced the happiest results. The
compositions of our best men are now as remarkable for their extreme
elegance and accurate construction as they are for the grace and beau-
ty of their conception. There is, however, we fancy, a danger that the
practised solver may be inclined to condemn a problem too readily, to
satisfy his insatiable delight in the search after duals. It would be well
to lay down some broad general principles to govern composers and
examiners as to the admission or exclusion of duals. As yet, however,
there exists great diversity of opinion on the subject, although we be-
lieve the liberal views lately expressed will ultimately triumph over
those of some American purists. A problem is a mixed work of science
and art, and these elements are to a certain extent antagonistic. A flaw
in the construction, duals in a minor variation, or weak defence, may
readily be forgiven when they are necessary to secure the original idea
intact, provided always their existence is not due to carelessness but
simply from necessity; the necessity being judged chiefly from the ar-
tistic, and not only from the constructive point of view. We trust the
study of this work, containing, as it undoubtedly does, some of the very
finest specimens of modern art, will conduce to develope the growing
genius of our future Andrews, Grimshaws, Healeys, &c., &c.
A few words, perhaps, are needed to explain why we have adopted
the present arrangement of grouping the problems according to the
number of moves. Although, by not having all the problems of each au-
thor kept together, one great advantage is, to a certain extent, sacri-
ficed, viz., that of studying the special characteristics of each compos-
er’s style, yet we felt that such loss was more than compensated by the
gain in variety arising out of the contrast of stratagems conceived by
different minds. Such contrast is certainly very real and of great inter-
est. For, extraordinary as it may seem, that, with such a limited mech-
anism at command as there is in Chess, there should be so many dis-
tinct conceptions realizable; it is still more wonderful that the produc-
tions of each author, and, in a wider sense, those of a nation, should
have certain marked characteristics which may be found to vary from
time to time in the same way as its art and literature. Hence the value
of collections such as this, and it will not be without service, if, as we
believe, it fairly reflects the genius of the best English composers, and
thus generally of English Chess Problem composition during this cen-
tury.*

* The Editors wish to note that in consequence of the sudden decease of their
contributor, Mr. F. H. Deacon, his set should strictly be placed in Part II., but his
death occurred when the work was too far advanced in the press to admit of al-
teration. They esteem themselves very fortunate in having a problem by Mr.
Deacon composed quite recently, and expressly for this book, and this the
more, as he had for some years given up problem composing.
SOME HINTS ON PROBLEM CONSTRUCTION

So much has been written lately on the above subject, and so many dif-
ferent views expressed, that it is difficult to ascertain the current in
which the general opinion of composers runs. The few remarks we are
about to offer have no authoritative value, but may be of some assist-
ance towards bringing the several points at issue to some final judg-
ment. But whatever rules may be laid down they will always be disre-
garded, and, to a certain extent, ignored by the leading composers of
each country. In Chess, as in all other things, genius will not be bound
by any fixed rule. It makes its own rules; and rightly so. In suggesting,
therefore, the principles which should govern the attempts of youthful
aspirants in the art of problem construction, it is necessary to deduce
them from the works of recognised masters, such as Healey of Eng-
land, Loyd of America, and Bayer of Germany. It would be the height
of folly to attempt to dictate to such men; we must be content to learn
what they teach, and to ascertain upon what common principles their
chief works are constructed. First of all, then, we shall find in the prob-
lems of these three masters, and notably in those of Healey and Loyd,
that there exists a certain affinity between the idea and its expression.
The body or form in which the soul or thought is enshrined is just the
one of all possible which is most appropriate, or which expresses it in
the happiest and apparently least laboured manner. It is just this fac-
ulty or perception of fitness which is peculiar to those highly gifted
with the genius of Chess art. Others may have equally fine or subtle
ideas, but they are unable to give them their neatest expression; the la-
bour and study is too apparent. The result may indeed be a difficult
problem, but the form is artificial and laboured; in fact, they manufac-
ture so ugly a body, that they give no pleasure or sense of beauty to the
unhappy solver. The value of a problem may be measured by the
pleasure it is capable of giving. “Ars est celare artem;” this is peculiarly
true of Chess problems. In the most beautiful stratagems of Loyd, the
positions are always most natural, and the study which they must have
cost the composer is never visible, the idea and form being co-related
in the fittest manner. The following principles should therefore obtain,
first, not to give either side a greater force than is required to express
fully the idea. Whilst it is good to give Black as great a defensive power
as possible (so long as the unity of the idea is not obscured), it is the
greatest mistake to aim at giving him a stronger force than White.
Some youthful composers think it wise apparently to crush White by
giving Black an overwhelming force. It is generally most difficult to
solve those problems where Black has only his King, for the simple rea-
son that the adversary has then so many possible methods of directing

xiv

his attack that it is not easy to detect the one way leading to success.
Disparity of force then between the two sides is not to be regarded as a
fault, whether it occur on one side or the other. The fault to be avoided
in all problems is rather superfluity of force. It is not legitimate to in-
sert a piece merely to mislead, but which otherwise has no bearing on
the solution. Each piece on either side should be fully wanted, the
power which it can exert should be utilised to the greatest extent pos-
sible. This principle has been aptly termed “economy of force,” and al-
though the idea has been ridiculed lately by an editor of one of our
leading Chess magazines, it is one which composers should faithfully
observe. In fact, it is only by attending to this one golden rule, viz., the
employment of the least force possible, that one can arrive at the fittest
construction, and, if the fittest, in consequence, the most difficult con-
cealment of the idea or stratagem. By its due observance, also, almost
all the other evils incidental to problem construction will be found to
vanish; namely, clumsy crowding together of pieces, unnatural and
impossible positions, &c., &c.
This principle of “economy of force” is not necessarily inconsistent
with the object of giving Black a varied and powerful defence. The de-
fence must bear on the attack threatened, or the force in which the
former consists must be reckoned superfluous or wasted. Variations
are not to be introduced simply for the sake of rendering the problem
more difficult, unless they are to some extent, at least, in harmony with
the main idea. The composers who best illustrate the advantage of giv-
ing Black a rich and varied defence are Andrews of England, and Bayer
of Germany; their problems are distinguished principally for the dis-
play of great and brilliant resources against a number of powerful and
varied defences. They are like those beautiful sky-rockets, which, after
their main strong flight is ended, and all seems over, suddenly scatter
beautiful series of clustered stars, each of which afterwards breaks up
into numberless and ever varied repetitions. This kind of problem
forms quite a class of its own, and is, perhaps, the highest development
of this branch of Chess strategy. Of course, in reply to so many lines of
defence, it is not always possible to secure one method of solution, and
this leads us to the discussion of the much-vexed question of “duals.”
We have never regarded “duals,” or second ways in variations, as the
evil of evils to be avoided in problems. Of course, they are to be guard-
ed against, but as we have already stated our views pretty fully, in the
Introduction, on this point, it is not necessary to repeat them here. Suf-
fice it to say, that they become less objectionable the more remote the
variation in which they occur lies from the main line of play or central
idea of the problem. We would next say a few words on “strategy.” Al-
though the artifices resorted to are limited, and might easily be tabu-
lated, still this does not constitute the virtue or essence of a problem,
any more than the leaves which compose a flower represent the
xvi ENGLISH CHESS PROBLEMS

flower. For, were this the case, not only would problem composition
soon cease to be an art, but it would as soon cease to be cared for or
practised. The artifice stands in the same relation to the strategy as the
verse and metre of a poem stand in relation to the poem. There is a
nameless something besides, in the structure or expression of an idea,
an exquisite balancing of force against force, a manifestation of skill
and tact in concealing the sacrifice, or the reserve of energy concen-
trated by some apparently aimless coup, which constitute the beauty
and strength of a position. But to the beginner we may say a few words
here, which may prove of service. First, then, avoid positions in which
an idea is evolved by successive checks, as such, whatever the ingenu-
ity, and however numerous the variations, are comparatively easy, and
belong to a lower order of composition altogether. Again, composers
are at first very fond of making the main idea consist in a series of sac-
rifices. Now, such problems are not of the highest rank at all, as refer-
ence to the problems by the best composers in this volume will amply
demonstrate. We may especially cite J. B. of Bridport and Healey as ex-
emplifying this. In our view, the finest conceptions are those where, by
some move or set of moves difficult to see, either through their subtle-
ty or the manifold resources in defence, a store of energy is laid up
which breaks out at last and ensures defeat. Others may prefer concep-
tions of a different kind; but in all there must be concealment of de-
sign, not through over-crowding, but through what we can only define
as naturalness of position and a range of choice of moves as extensive
as possible. One word on two move problems. Such have been decried
as too easy for any but tyros, and not worth the pains bestowed on
their composition. This we consider is a great mistake. Of all problems,
a good two mover is probably the most difficult to compose; for here,
if anywhere, duals are to be avoided in reply to every move worthy the
name of a defence; it is essential here, if anywhere, that the idea should
be concealed, and this can only be done in general by allowing consid-
erable freedom or scope on both sides with plenty of resources on the
part of Black. These problems are sui generis, as in a two mover more
than any other there is a balance of power, if we may so speak, which,
if slightly disturbed by any move but the right one, destroys the harmo-
ny contemplated; hence the niceness and delicacy of the artifice; to
ensure, amidst the clash of so many forces, a subtle but exact stroke,
which suffices, in each case, to effect with some piece a mate next
move. Sometimes accordingly the full beauty of a “coup de repos” is
brought out; sometimes Black's own strokes here and there are used
against himself; sometimes we have, on both sides, checks by discov-
ery, like the quick crossing of swords in a duel.
Problems of three moves are and will probably remain the most
popular and pleasing; because there is just enough difficulty about
them without the intricacy and depth which belong to others in four or
SOME HINTS ON PROBLEM CONSTRUCTION xvii

five moves. At the same time, in the latter, there is a scope for manœu-
vre and design, serving to render many problems of this class pro-
found studies, containing many beautiful variations.
In conclusion, young composers must learn to depend upon them-
selves, and upon their own sense of what is right. Excellency in the art
will never come by mere drudgery or study of other men's works, un-
less accompanied by a love for Chess and a special and innate aptitude
for it. We shall watch with interest the future development of this most
beautiful and fascinating study—for of further development it is with-
out question susceptible—in just the same way as of late years it has
taken new forms of a distinct character, and may do so again.
There is no doubt that the study of Chess has much increased,
among all classes. The number of Chess periodicals now in circulation,
of good works recently published on the subject, and of new clubs con-
stantly being formed all over the country, prove this. It is greatly to be
desired that our working classes should learn more and more to share
in the pure and intellectual enjoyment of the game, which would thus
gradually be the means of weaning them from other debasing, if not vi-
cious, pursuits or sources of recreation.

SOLUTIONS

The following symbols and conventions have been used in the solu-
tions:

† check
‡ mate
/ separates different destination squares by same piece. Thus
‘Ke3/d3’ indicates the two moves Ke2 and Kd3.
, (in short solutions) separates moves by different pieces. Thus
‘Ke2,d3’ indicates the moves Ke2 and (P)d3.
~ indicates any of the legal moves by the specified piece.
? indicates a move that does not solve the problem.

S is used to identify knights.

PRÉFACE

Ce livre est une oeuvre qui aura pris plus de 25 ans à réaliser le rêve
de son auteur. Le manuscrit a été entrepris en 1975 par Marc Benoït
un des rares compositeurs canadiens dans la période 1950-1975.
Lorsque nous avons pris connaissance du manuscrit, il était dans un
état bien piteux. Le texte avait été transcrit à la dactylo mais la
plupart des diagrammes manquaient, certains des chapitres n’étaient
que des ébauches de quelques lignes bourrées de commentaires
touffus.

La reconstruction de ce manuscrit nous aura demandé re retracer les


problèmes que l’auteur avait choisi pour illustrer son livre. Les
problèmes de l’auteur se sont avérés faciles L’auteur avait conservé
dans un cahier d’école une copie de chacun des problèmes publiés
et le reste des inédits étaient conservés dans un cartable. Le
problème principal fut de réconcilier les solutions décrites avec des
problèmes désignés par seulement le nom de l’auteur et un numéro
séquentiel. Ce fut un défi de reconstruction synthétique qui nous
aura pris plus de cinq ans à réaliser.

Marc Benoit avait, au cours des ans accumulé une impressionnante


bibliothèque et une collection de miniatures orthodoxes unique.
Ingénier de profession, il était amené souvent à voyager à l’étranger.
Les problèmes miniatures étaient chez-lui une passion et il en
composera une grande quantité sur des serviettes de restaurant, des
marges de journaux et des blocs de note d’hôtels. En fouillant dans
ses archives, on peut ainsi retracer ses périples en Europe et en
Amérique du Sud.

Le texte qui suit est fidèle à l’esprit et à la lettre de l’auteur. Au


moment de son décès, l’auteur travaillait sur un chapitre sur la
construction d’un problème. Malheureusement l’exemple choisi
demeure inachevé et le texte qui l’accompagnait est demeuré trop

-5-
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

incomplet pour être publié. Nous avons dû le retrancher. Avec le


temps, peut-être pourrons nous reconstituer ce chapitre. En ce qui a
trait au texte restant, les corrections et additions sont nombreuses.
Le style télégraphique et très direct de l’auteur reflétaient sa
formation d’ingénieur de grands travaux.. Son intérêt en écrivant ce
manuscrit demeurait didactique. Il voulait faire partager sa passion
pour cet art dans une contexte où il a dû souffrir d’une profonde
solitude et de nombreux obstacles à le partager. En voulant
transmettre à d’autres son sens de la beauté aux échecs, il voulait
établir une conversation avec ses compatriotes.

Sur la première page du manuscrit on pouvait lire simplement “à


Louise”. Qui était Louise, nous ne le savons pas, peut être sa fille,
peut être quelqu’un de cher. Avec vingt-cinq année de retard,
Louise, voici ce que Marc voulait te dire.

INTRODUCTION
Lorsqu'un joueur d'échecs et un problémiste se rencontrent,
l'un parle de son intérèt pour la variante Znosko-Borovsky et l'autre
du thème Zagorouiko, ce sont deux personnes à part qui ne se
comprennent souvent qu'après de longues explications. Ils sont
pourtant animés du même amour, enthousiasmés par la même beauté
: les merveilleuses combinaisons échiquéennes!

Le but de cet ouvrage est donc d'essayer modestement de


construire un pont entre les deux "tours". Je partage les deux passions.
Comme je suis un problémiste et qu'il y a des milliers de fois plus de joueurs
que de problémistes, j'ai donc opté d'initier les joueurs aux beautés du
problème.

Le défi est de taille. J'ai toutefois conclu qu'une petite


pérégrination, illustrée avec des exemples composés d'un minimum de
pièces, entraînerait le joueur à mieux comprendre la beauté des
problèmes. Cette beauté est plus qu'une simple question d'énigme ou
difficulté de clé comme on est porté à le croire trop souvent.

Pour conserver un contexte de simplicité, je me suis limité aux


mats en deux coups. Ainsi, presque tous les joueurs de club et les
amateurs d'un soir pourront lire l'ouvrage dans le métro, l'avion ou au
coin du feu, sans avoir à placer des pièces sur un échiquier. Une position
de moins de 7 pièce demande peu d'effort à visualiser. Un mat en deux
coups miniature et orthodoxe est facile à résoudre ou à suivre à partir du
diagramme, surtout si celui-ci est imprimé dans une grandeur convenable.

J'ai fait allusion à l'orthodoxie. En choisissant le problème


orthodoxe, nous j'ai éliminé le domaine du problème féerique cet
ouvrage. Les problémistes ont inventé toutes sortes de pièces
additionnelles aux pièces conventionnelles (Mao, cavalier de la nuit,
sauterelles, etc.) en plus de conditions de coups (maximiser, etc.) ou
d'arrangement d'échiquier (cylindrique, par exemple). Vous ne trouverez
ici rien de ce genre ici. Il existe d'excellentes revues qui ne publient que

-7-
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

ce genre de problèmes dont "feenshach". Ces inventions sont nées du


désir d'évasion des contraintes usuelles tout comme le joueur qui désire
dégrafer le corset des premiers coups d'ouverture.

Il ne sera donc pas question dans cet ouvrage de complications.


Au contraire, mon objectif est de rendre simple et accessible ce qui paraît
un art éclectique et étrange. J'aurai atteint mon but si par sa simplicité il
convertit des joueurs en solutionnistes et les amène à l'amour du "beau"
problème au point de tenter de composer. Il y a beaucoup d'inepties qui
se publient en fait de problèmes. Ce petit ouvrage est volontairement
incomplet mais il cherche, en évitant de grandes notions rébarbatives au
profane, être agréable et facile à lire et guider l'amateur à différencier le blé
de l'ortie dans ce domaine.

Et, s'il remporte un certain succès, on ouvrira la voie à d'autres


ouvrages sur les problèmes qui manquent à notre patrimoine. Soit des
anthologies de centaines de problèmes miniatures, des collection
d'oeuvres de Canadiens, des ouvrages plus avancés et plus complets sur
la connaissance et la composition du problème d'échec et finalement un
recueil avec anecdotes sur nos propres compositions. À vous, chers
lecteurs, de nous indiquer la voie à suivre.

CHAPITRE I

RUDIMENTS ET PREMIERS PAS

Le but visé par cet ouvrage est de vous familiariser en tant


qu'adepte du jeu d'échecs avec cette branche très spécialisée qu'est le
problème. Pour apprécier le problème, il n'est pas nécessaire d'être un
joueur de fort calibre. Une connaissance élémentaire du mouvement des
pièces et une bonne expérience de leur rôle et fonction sur l'échiquier
seront suffisant.

Nous avons adopté le problème miniature pour nous servir d'exemple


dans le texte, Ce choix est purement pratique et vise à vous permettre de
profiter du livre sans avoir à un échiquier sous la main. En vous
proposant des diagrammes simples et en discutant de la solution, nous
introduirons peu à peu des notions de plus en plus complexes. Ceci
devrait vous permettre de découvrir, d'apprécier, de jouir d'une manière
plus satisfaisante des beautés du problème. Nous croyons que le
problème c'est la poésie comparée au jeu qui en est la prose. Nous
prenons pour acquis que le lecteur sait jouer aux échecs; c'est notre point
de départ.

Voici que nous vous avons introduit une notion : le miniature.


Comme le nom l'indique, ce sont de petits problèmes. Un problème
"miniature" contient, par définition au maximum sept pièces, incluant les
pièces blanches ou noires. Ne vous laissez pas tromper, le faible nombre
de pièce ne doit pas vous laisser croire que ce sont des problèmes de
seconde catégorie, réalisée par des compositeurs qui n'ont pas appris l'art
de travailler avec toutes les pièces. Les problèmes miniatures peuvent être
très sophistiqués. On en retrouve de tous les genres : mats directs, mats
aidés, mats inverses, féeriques et même des études de finales qui sont
mieux connues des joueurs. Pour notre part, nous nous contenterons des
problèmes qui utilisent les conventions et les règles du jeu conventionnel.

-9-
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Tous les problèmes utilisés dans cet ouvrage auront le même énoncé. Les
blancs jouent et font mat en deux coups exactement. C'est ce qu'on
désigne normalement comme étant des "mats en deux coups" orthodoxe.

Dans le domaine du problème, "Mat en deux coups" veut dire


que dans la position décrite au diagramme, les blancs jouent un coup
unique que l'on appelle "clé", et que quelle que soit la réponse des noirs, les
blancs font mat au coup suivant (deuxième coup). La position doit
toujours être obtenue "en théorie" à partir d'une partie légale, quelque
farfelue qu'ait été cette partie. Donc s'il y a trois cavaliers, le troisième doit
nécessairement venir de la promotion d'un pion. Un des défis posés par
les compositeurs consiste à l'occasion à forcer l'amateur à remonter la
logique de la position pour trouver des indices quant à sa validité ou à la
validité de certains coups. C'est ce qu'on appelle l'analyse rétrograde.

Chaque façon différente de mater des blancs à une réponse


différente des noirs s'appelle "variante". Un problème trouve souvent sa
grâce et son caractère dans les variantes. Dans le domaine de la partie, une
combinaison donne le mat, dans le problème les variantes donnent le
résultat artistique.

Nous reviendrons sur cette notion de variante en expliquant la


solution des problèmes qui vont servir d'illustrations. Nous reviendrons
aussi sur la notion d'analyse rétrograde. Comme premier exemple, nous
avons choisi un magnifique miniature
d'un grand auteur allemand.

I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Naturellement, un deux coups miniature, ne peut être


extrêmement difficile. Mais déjà vous pourrez déceler, en tentant de
solutionner les problèmes, qu'avec peu de pièces à leur disposition ce que
peuvent faire les grands maîtres. D'autre part, on apprendra à voir que la
beauté d'un problème ne réside pas dans la difficulté de la clé, une qualité
importante mais pas essentielle. Elle réside dans plusieurs autres éléments
que nous apprendrons à connaître ensemble lors de l'analyse des
solutions.

Allez-y ! Solutionnez ce problème à partir du diagramme. Dans


le diagramme, les blancs jouent vers le haut et les noirs vers le bas. Ainsi,
dans problème No 1, le pion noir peut avancer d'un pas, c'est-à-dire faire
Dame à son deuxième coup si il avait l'opportunité de jouer ce qui
n'arrive jamais au noir dans un "mat en deux coups".

Un conseil : méfiez-vous de ces "toujours" et de ces "jamais".


Un des talents typiques des bons compositeurs consiste à vous induire en
erreur en défiant la logique des toujours et des jamais. Il y a souvent des
exceptions démontrables par analyse rétrograde.

L'indice à droite de l'échiquier indique le nombre de pièces


blanches (4) et le nombre de pièces noires (3). Pour un miniature, ce total
ne doit pas dépasser 7. Lorsque le total des pièces vacille entre 8 et 12
pièces inclusivement, le problème s'appelle Meridith, du nom d'un
compositeur qui se spécialisait dans ce genre de problèmes légers en
matériel. Lorsqu'il y a plus de douze pièces sur l'échiquier et moins de 16,
on parle de poids moyen et de poids lourd pour les problèmes de plus de
16 pièces. Quant à l'indication "mat en 2 coups", il indique le nombre de
coups que les blancs peuvent prendre pour mater les noirs. À l'occasion,
vous trouverez cette indication sous la forme "2#" ou "#2". C'est la
convention utilisée par les revues d'échecs pour économiser l'espace.

CHAPITRE II

LA NOTATION DES SOLUTIONS

Pour se comprendre, il faut un langage. Les échecs ont convenu


d'un langage écrit, et ce langage est, en pratique, le même que celui utilisé
pour noter et annoter les parties. D'abord un mot sur la notation. Dans
chaque langue, une pièce est désignée par son initiale en majuscule : D
pour dame; T pour tour, etc.
Roi =R= K
Dame =D= Q
Tour =T= R
Fou =F = B
Cavalier =C= N
Pion =P= P
La notation algébrique, le plus universelle,
sera utilisée dans cet ouvrage. Le
diagramme suivant sert d'exemple.

Dans ce diagramme, le pion noir est en d5


(comme au Bingo!) et le pion blanc en e4.
Si le pion blanc capture (mange) le pion
noir, on note le coup ainsi : Pe4 x Pd5.
Mais pour plus de simplicité et lorsqu'il ne
Diagramme 2-1 peut y avoir d'équivoque, on aura tendance
à noter ce coup en style abrégé: exd5 (ou
ed5) sans mentionner la pièce qui prend ou celle qui est prise. On peut
même simplifier encore par : exd (ou ed) c'est-à-dire le pion de la colonne
capture la pièce en d. L'important, nous le répétons, c'est qu'il n'y ait pas

- 12 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

d'équivoque. Si, par exemple, il y avait deux pions noirs en d5 et f5 alors


ex serait équivoque. De la même manière, lorsqu'il y a deux pions blancs
(c4 et c6) sur la même colonne et deux pièces noires (d5 et d7) qui
peuvent être capturés, il faut alors mentionner lequel des deux pions noirs
est pris : c x d5 ou cxd7. D'autre part, si il y a une autre pièce blanche sur
la colonne e qui puisse prendre une autre pièce noire sur la colonne d, il
faut alors être encore plus spécifique.

Les principaux symboles utilisés sont :

x : prend
~ (ou ad lib) : coup général
+ : échec
++ : échec double
+d : échec à découvert
# : mat
! : bon coup
? : mauvais coup
!? : tentative ou essai

Ainsi, la solution du problème no 1 est :

La clé : 1.Dg8! *
si 1…Txd8 2.Cf6 # 1
si 1…Pg2 2.Dxg5 # 2
si 1…Rxh5 2.Dxg5 # 2
si 1…Rf5 2.Txd5 # 3

Quel magnifique problème dans lequel comme clé la Dame se


sacrifie à la Tour noire, et sacrifie sa Tour au Roi noir par retrait de
protection! Avec trois variantes! Tout cela dans un miniature soir avec
un maximum de sept pièces. Les joueurs habitués à noter leurs parties
auront remarqué que la difficulté vient d'avoir à noter plusieurs lignes de
jeu, les variantes. La convention "si 1… nous jouent, alors les blancs

- 13 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

répliquent 2. " est souvent abrégée en commençant les défenses par


"1…" et les attaques blanches par 1. ou 2. ; les points de suspension
indiquent qu'il s'agit d'une réponse ou d'un coup des noirs.
À noter que dans la variante 1, lorsque la T noire joue en g6,
soit 1.....Tg6 les blancs peuvent mater de deux façons : a) 2.DxT et
b) 2.Cf6 car en effet, la T noire est clouée par la Dame blanche et ne peut
prendre le Cavalier. Ceci constitue un dual qui est une faute mineure ou
majeure dans une composition. Ici, la faute est très mineure. Nous
reviendrons sur cette notion importante du dual.

Qu'il suffise de dire qu'un dual résulte du fait qu'après un coup


des noirs, les blancs peuvent mater de deux façons différentes comme
c'est le cas ici. Il peut y avoir des façons triples de mater : ceci est une
faute tellement grave de composition qu'on ne la trouve
qu'exceptionnellement dans les problèmes publiés par les revues.

Pourquoi, direz-vous, attacher tant d'importance à cette notion?


En fait, le joueur de parties trouve excellent un coup qui lui permet
plusieurs avenues pour mater. Mais voilà, le problémiste pour sa part
dédaigne ce même genre de coup!

Rappelez-vous que l'essence même du problème - même si de


nos jours l'évolution s'en écarte - est la difficulté de la solution. Si donc un
coup blanc, ou mieux une clé blanche permet plusieurs avenues de mater,
elle devient alors trop évidente et elle perd ainsi de la subtilité, de son
verni. C'est pourquoi le problémiste condamne le "dual". À force de
résoudre des problèmes, vous viendrez probablement à partager ce goût
"l'anti-dual". Ce mot n'est pas de mon invention. Il y a des thèmes qui
exploitent à plein la répugnance du dual. Nous verrons ce que cela peut
signifier d'excitant dans un problème. Il y a même un volume du
compositeur Gabriel Authier intitulé "L'Anti-Dual"!(Édition d'auteur,
Paris 1953) qui est consacré exclusivement à la construction de problèmes
exploitant cette idée thématique.

Pour illustrer une des différences entre la combinaison et le


problème, je vous invite à considérer les deux problèmes qui suivent. Ce

- 14 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

sont deux problèmes qui vont de pair et qui pourront vous aider à
comprendre un des concepts fondamentaux du problème moderne : le
thème. Les deux problèmes représentent le même thème qui s'appelle
PICKANNINY. Comme toute sous-culture, les problémistes adorent
donner des noms pour désigner les choses.
Dans un cas, on a un Pickanniny noir et l'autre la même idée
réalisée avec les blancs (aussi appelée "Albino" pour souligner la
diférence). En jouant la solution complète, vous découvrirez sans doute
ce qu'est un Pickanniny. William Anthony Shinkman est un des plus
illustres compositeurs américains qui a été actif au tournant du XXe
siècle. Un grand nombre des ses compositions ont été publiées dans les
journaux canadiens dont La Presse et le Ottawa Citizen.

Si 1…Ra2 2.Pd4 mat
Si 1…Fd4 2.Pd3 mat
Si 1…Fc3 2.Pxc3 mat
Si 1…Ce3 2.Pxe3 mat

Les deux derniers problèmes ont en


4+3 Mat en 2 coups
commun d'illustrer comment quatres
coups possibles d'un pion peuvent
mener à des mats différents. Dans le no 2 de Marble et Bettmann, le P
noir joue sur toutes les cases (quatre) qu'un pion peut jouer (un pas, deux
pas, prise à gauche et prise à droite) provoquant en conséquence quatre mats
différents de la part des blancs. C'est un Pickanniny noir. Dans le no 3,
nous avons un la même idée, mais cette fois avec un pion blanc, i.e., le
pion blanc fait mat obligatoirement sur ses quatre cases possibles de jeu!

N'est-ce pas merveilleux d'avoir réalisé ce thème avec seulement


sept pièces! Toutefois, certains diront que la clé 1.De8 manque de
subtilité. Ces tours de force excusent grandement la presque brutalité de
la clé dans les deux problèmes et ceci illustre bien que dans un problème
ce n'est pas la difficulté de la clé qui importe le plus (tant mieux si la clé est
difficile) mais le jeu, l'idée, le thème que l'auteur réussit à présenter.

On remarquera des duals mineurs dans le no 3, sur les coups du


F en e5, f6, g7, le pion pouvant mater indifféremment en jouant en d3 ou

- 16 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

d4, de même que pour les autres mouvements du C exception faite du


coup thématique Ce3.

Vous découvrirez avec le temps qu'il existe toujours au moins un


exemple où dans un même problème, les quatre coups réponses (à la clé)
d'un pion noir correspondent quatre mats différents d'un pion blanc! les
défenses Pickanniny noires sont répondues par un Pickanniny blanc!
Dans un même problème!!! Toutefois, il faudra plus de matériel que 7
pièces pour y arriver.

Un autre thème du même genre est la roue du Cavalier i.e. un


problème où à huit défenses noires, un Cavalier blanc fait mat sur les huit
cases où il peut jouer. Il n'existe pas d'exemple de ce thème en miniature.
J'enprofiterai pour introduire la notation Forsythe avec un problème de ce
genre qui compte seulement onze pièces.

MARC BENOIT
"Cape Times" 5 mai 1950
8 - t7 - 6pl - plR5 - N2C4 - p5pD - P7 - 6tl
(4+7) Mat en deux coups

La notation Forsythe est commode pour noter une position


rapidement. Elle sert à décrire la position des pièces sur l'échiquier sans
avoir à recourir à une illustration. Les lettres majuscules représentent les
pièces blanches, et les minuscules les noires, et les chiffres des cases vides.
Si vous regardez la formule, vous noterez qu'il y a 8 séries de caractères
séparés par de traits-d'union. Chaque série correspond à une ligne de
l'échiquier. L'échiquier se lit de gauche à droite, de haut en bas, comme
ces lignes. Ainsi dans la position du problème décrite ici, la rangée du
haut est vide (8), une tour noire occupe la première case à gauche de la
deuxième rangée (toujours en partant du haut du diagramme) dont les
autres cases sont vides (t7) etc.

Le concept de thèmes est apparu très tôt dans la composition.


Les thèmes comme le Pickanniny, qui exploitent le mouvement particulier
à une pièce, sont d'anciens thèmes, mais ils sont historiquement

- 17 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

intéressants par leur simplicité et constituent une bonne préparation à


l'exploration de thèmes plus complexes.

Si 1… Txb7; 2.Dc8 mat

Prenons pour exemple le problème no 4 qui présente un autre


thème : le Grimshaw. Ce vieux thème est une idée un peu plus complexe
mais encore loin des thèmes modernes. Il propose une idée plus moderne,
soit le rapport entre deux ou plusieurs pièces. Cherchez à le découvrir?

- 18 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Pour mieux vous aider, nous en donnons trois exemples (nos 3,4 et 5) en
miniature dont deux sont d'un illustre compositeur néerlandais Henri
Weenink de l'époque du Good Companions Club. Une des associations
internationales qui ont marqué le développement du problème moderne.

Tel que vu pour le thème Pickanniny, les problèmes No 2 et 3


offraient une certaine ressemblance, une ressemblance dans "l'idée". Or,
dans les problèmes No 4, 5 et 6, il existe aussi une ressemblance d'idée.
C'est cette idée - qui est d'un ordre tout différent de celle des problèmes
No 2 et 3 - qu'il faut découvrir et c'est cette "idée" qui constitue le thème.

Dans le problème No 6, la clé 1.Cb5! introduit un échec au roi


blanc tout en se sacrifiant au fou noir! Après 1.....Tc7 il existe un dual
mineur, les blancs pouvant mater de deux façons : 2.Dxc7 et 2.Da8. En
plaçant le roi blanc en C3, on évitait le dual car 2.Da8 n'est plus possible
après 1.....Tc7, le roi blanc étant en échec. J'ai préféré laisser le dual et
ajouter l'échec au roi ajoutant ainsi une autre variante et rendant la clé
plus difficile.

Pour découvrir le thème, il faut jouer toutes les variantes, essayer


d'extraire celles qui ont un lien commun dans les trois problèmes.

I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

CHAPITRE IV

NOTIONS DE THÈMES

Maintenant, examinons les variantes thématiques (des trois


problèmes) pour découvrir ce qu'est un Grimshaw. Si vous avez
remarqué que le problème de défense était habituellement le résultat de la
nuisance causée par les pièces noires entre-elles, vous avez pu apprécier ce
que les problèmes avaient en commun, du moins du point de vue de leur
idée thématique. Le Grimshaw un thème d'interférence mutuelle de deux
pièces noires. Dans le No 4, Pc6 permet 2.Dd4 parce que le pion noir
interfère avec l'action du fou noir qui, autrement, pourrait venir
s'interposer en d5, empêchant le mat. D'autre part 1.....Fc6 permet 2.Db4
car il interfère avec l'action du pion noir en C5 qui pourrait aussi
autrement venir s'interposer. On remarquera que dans chaque cas
l'interférence a lieu toujours sur une même case.

On peut donc facilement étudier les variantes thématiques des


deux autres problèmes et conclure qu'un Grimshaw est "un problème où
deux pièces noires interfèrent mutuellement sur une même case avec
l'action de l'autre permettant des mats distincts à cause de cette même
interférence".

Si l'on place par exemple sur un échiquier vierge un fou noir en


d5 et une tour noire en f4, on remarque que le fou et la tour peuvent
interférer l'un avec l'autre sur trois cases :

1) c4, la T interfère avec l'action du F en a2 et b3. Le F interfère


avec l'action de la T en a4 et b4.

2) e4, le T interfère avec l'action du F en f3, (g2 et h1 faisant partie


de la troisième interférence), le F interfère avec l'action de la T en c4

Vous aurez probablement remarqué l'évolution de "genre" entre


l'idée du thème Pickanniny et celle du Grimshaw. Les thèmes les plus
anciens, comme la croix royale, la roue du cavalier, le Pickanniny illustrent
des idées comme l'exploitation maximum de la marche d'une pièce et
chaque pièce du jeu a subi un examen minutieux de cette façon.

Prenons en exemple la marche de la Dame. Avec une Dame la


dame, il y a douze positions ou cases différentes d'où elle peut mater le roi
noir lorsque ces deux pièces sont placées dans une certaine relation sur
l'échiquier. Si les douze façons sont des mats obligatoirement différents
ceci constitue un record - appelé, même en français, du mot anglais
"task". Ainsi les Pickanniny présentés sont des tasks. Le thème des
douze mats de la dame porte le nom de "Croix de la Dame" et fut vidé au
début du siècle :

Évidemment, l'idée du thème Grimshaw est plus éthérée, le


thème repose déjà sur des notions (interférence mutuelle) plutôt que sur
des faits physiques (marche de pièces). Avec le temps d'anciens thèmes
sont revenus à la surface mais en combinant leur idée plutôt rudimentaire
avec des notions plus modernes. Par exemple, la roue du cavalier apparaît
ainsi dans son habit dernière mode :

CHAPITRE V

QUALITÉ DES MATS


Nous avons abordé l'idée de la composition en faisant allusion que le
problème était une forme d'expression artistique. La clé d'un problème
est une composante importante qui met au défit le solutionniste.
Cependant, le résultat final, la position des pièces au moment du mat est
une autre dimension qui fait appel au goût et à l'appréciation des
amateurs.
Ceci nous amène à explorer la dimension de la structure du problème
dans son ensemble. La dimension artistique du problème tient au fait
que les compositeurs peuvent exprimer un ensemble d'idées, de
concepts et de visions des échecs. Dans la partie, la beauté est le résultat
d'une construction issue de la concurrence entre deux joueurs. Le
résultat est contraint par cette dimension de "coopération conflictuelle"
pour arriver au résultat final. Le problèmiste a plus de loisir de
construire à volonté des positions pour exprimer ses idées. Prenons par
exemple le problème no 7.

No 7
Fadil ABDURAHMANOVIC

6+1 Mat en 2 coups Dans le no 7, la solution est


relativement banale, le cavalier établit
le blocus, et les fuites du RN en étoile
amènent quatres mats différents. Toutefois, avant la clé, les blancs
disposent de plusieurs essais qui sont tour réfutés: 1. Pxc8 (D) ? les noirs
sont pat. Si 1.Rxc8 (T) Rc8! Si par contre 1.Pxc8 (F) Rc6! Enfin si 1.Pc8

- 24 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

(C) ? Rc4!. L'idée thématique des quatre promotions du pion blanc


demeure un des thèmes difficile à réaliser. En le réalisant au moyen des
essais, l'auteur réussit là ou plusieurs auteurs ont échoué.
Le thème choisi est celui de la "fuite en étoile" (Star Flight) du
roi noir soit diagonalement ou orthogonalement. Encore un vieux thème
de marche des pièces (observez les dates de publication) mais qui a été
rajeuni par Abdurahmanovic dans le numéro 7 en y ajoutant les essais
infructueux de promotion du pion blanc. Toutefois le no 7 a un défaut
majeur car le même coup de la dame blanche (2.DSf7) sert à mater dans
deux variantes ce qui alors ne constitue pas des variantes et le thème de
fuite en étoile n'est pas complètement rendu. Dans le no 8, une des
fuites diagonales du roi est impossible (.....Rd3) mais quel magnifique
problème avec la clé sacrifiant les deux cavaliers.

on note immédiatement que la

- 25 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

solution présente un intérêt. La définition logique d'une variante


demeure que les mats changent selon la nature de la défense noire. Ici le
compositeur français nous offre le paradoxe inverse voulant que sur
quatre "défenses thématiques" le même coup de mat s'applique. Ce
problème est un des rares exemples, peut-être le seul de la fuite
orthogonale du roi, mais il n'y a qu'une variante.
Autant le problème no 9 que le problème no 10 font appel à une
réflexion logique pour saisir l'idée de l'auteur. C'est là une des
caractéristiques des thèmes plus modernes. Pour être pleinement
apprécié, le problème doit être regardé dans son ensemble.

Le no 10 présente le thème parfait avec un mat différent pour


chaque fuite du roi. On remarquera aussi la position finale du roi noir
lorsqu'il se déplace en f4 et que la dame blanche fait mat en c7. On
remarque que toutes les cases qui entourent le roi sont vides, le roi peut
donc se mirer dans son entourage.

Considérons maintenant le
problème no 11. La clé 1.Cf4! occupe la case f4 et prévient la fuite en d3
ou en d5. Dans le tableau de mat final, toutes les cases autour du Roi
Noir sont libres. C'est le mat MIROIR, le mat le plus majestueux qui
excuse bien le dual mineur de cette variante. Une belle clé avec sacrifice!
J'ai dans ma collection de miniatures quatre autres exemples du thème
dont un seul parfait, sans dual, économique et avec une clé décente et
thématique .

5+1 Mat en 2 coups Le problème no 11 de


Legentil présente une de ces idées: le
mat MIROIR. En plus du mat miroir, il existe trois autres qualités
typiques du tableau de mat, soit le mat économique, le mat pur et le mat
modèle.

Le mat ÉCONOMIQUE est un mat où participent (sont


nécessaires) toutes les pièces blanches sur l'échiquier. On fait exception
pour le Roi et les Pions. Ainsi dans le no 7, dans la variante suivante :
1.....RxC et 2.Df3 mat, l'action de la Dame, du fou et de la tour sont

- 27 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

nécessaires pour mater, mais ni l'action du Roi ou du pion ne sont


requises. Nous avons donc là un mat économique. Bien sûr, si l'action
du roi et des pions sont nécessaires, l'effet d'économie est plus agréable.

D'autre part, le mat économique n'existe forcément que dans les


problèmes du poids léger (miniatures, Meridith surtout) car dans les autres
problèmes, il est rare que toutes les pièces blanches sur l'échiquier
participent au mat, même si l'on excepte le roi et les pions. Cosnidérez
le No 12 de Miskolczy, aucun dual, économique (seulement six pièces),
les quatre variantes bien différenciées et une clé thématique puisqu'elle
ouvre l'accès en f4 et h4 au roi noir, condition nécessaire à
l'épanouissement du thème de "fuite en étoile".

Petko A. PETKOV
South African Chess Player 1962

1. Rh2! blocus
si 1. ... h5 (autoblocage) 2. Df6 mat
si 1. ... Cf2~ 2. D(x)g4 mat

Le mat PUR est un mat où toutes les


cases qui entourent le roi et incluant
3+4 Mate en deux coups celle sur laquelle il se trouve, ne sont
protégées que par une seule pièce
blanche ou occupées par une pièce
noire (auto-blocage). Par exemple, le mat cité dans le paragraphe
décrivant le mat économique, ce mat n'est pas pur car la tour et la dame
gardent chacune des cases d3, c3 et f3. Chaque fois que les noirs sont
matés, il existe au moins une case qui est protégée par l'action de deux
pièces blanches, si ce n'est dans le no 10: 1.....Rf4, 2.Dc7 mat. Dans ce
cas, aucune des cases vitales au roi ne sont gardées plus d'une fois. C'est
donc en plus d'un mat Miroir, un mat Pur. Comparez avec le mat 1…h5;
2.Df6# du problème de Petkov ci-dessus. De plus, ce mat est
Économique puisque toutes les pièces blanches sur l'échiquier y
participent.

- 28 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Dans le problème 12b, l'auteur a tenté d'illustrer une sous-


promotion en même temps qu'in mat modèle. Si les blancs jouent 1.c8D?
ce qui apparaît être le coup le plus évident, le Roi Noir peut prendre la
fuite en b6 parce que cette case n'est pas gardée.

Toutefois, si vous comparez le mat 1… Rxf8; 2.Fh6 mat. On y retrouve

Blanc sont actifs dans le mat final. Les compositeurs anglais utilisent le

complète.

CHAPITRE VI

À TOUT SEIGNEUR TOUT HONNEUR

On dénombre dans notre collection privée plus de mille trois


cent problèmes miniatures en deux coups composés par quelques trois
cents auteurs. On s'imagine devant une telle masse et avec si peu de
d'espace que l'originalité peut être difficile. C'est pourquoi la coutume
veut qu'en citant un problème, on donne toujours le nom de l'auteur. Il
y a bien droit, c'est comme un poème, un morceau de musique, une
peinture....

La coutume veut que chaque auteur conserve la propriété


intellectuelle des ses problèmes d'échecs, mais qu'il n'y ait pas de
restrictions quant à leur reproduction dans la mesure où on attribue le
problème à son auteur. Il est nécessaire aussi d'indiquer la date et la
source pour vérification, car souvent, même dans les problèmes à
plusieurs pièces, l'idée présentée par l'auteur mais pure coïncidence.
Habituellement, ce n'est pas du plagiat mais pure coïncidence. J'ai voulu
donner un exemple concret de ce fait en citant les problèmes 13, 14 et 15
dont voici les solutions :

No 13
S.L. KREININE
Luganskaia Pravda, 1929

1. Cç8! blocus
si 1. ... Rxa8 2. Fc6 mat
si 1. ... Rxc8 2. Fa6 mat

la capture de l'un ou l'autre cavalier
5+1 Mat en 2 coups blanc. Ici l'idée du mat est rendue avec
économie mais il manque de mat

- 30 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Miroir. Mais l'idée présentée dans le no 13 avait déjà été publiée 20 ans
plus tôt en France dans un quotidien de Rouen.

No 14
Georges LEGENTIL
Journal de Rouen, 1909

1. Ca4! blocus
si 1. ... Rxc4 2. Fa6 mat
si 1. ... Rxa4 2. Fc6 mat

Remarquez la similarité dans l'idée.


Bien que la position de départ soit
6+1 Mat en 2 coups sensiblement différente, la clé est
constituée du même sacrifice et le mat
est donné par le fou selon le même patron. Considérez maintenant le
No15 tel que publié près de 50 ans plus tard.

No 15
Marc BENOIT

Problemas, 1974 1.Ch4


si 1…Rxh6 2.Fd2 mat
si 1…Rxh4 2.Ff6 mat
si 1…Rf4 2.Fd2 mat miroir

Encore une fois, la


mécanique du mat est la même. La
5+2 Mat en 2 coups seule consolation, c'est qu'il y a une
variante de plus qui est un mat miroir.
La critique officielle de ce problème
dit : "un excellent miniature avec une très bonne clé de double sacrifice
laquelle empêche l'avance du pion. Un mat MIROIR est ajouté."

On remarquera que le roi blanc aurait pu être placé en h2 et le


problème aurait été tout aussi bon. Il aurait eu même une qualité de plus :

- 31 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

un mat pieds, c'est-à-dire un mat où toutes les cases du domaine royale


noir ne sont gardées qu'une seule fois. Si le roi blanc est en h2 au lieu de
g2 dans la variante ou 1...Rf4 2.Fd2 mat, la case f3 n'est gardée que par le
cavalier en h4 (clé). J'ai décidé de laisser tomber cet atout pour éviter une
faute grave de composition. En effet, dans le "jeu apparent", c'est-à-dire
le jeu tel qu'il apparaît (avant la clé) sur le diagramme (cette notion de "jeu
apparent" est fondamentale pour comprendre les thèmes modernes), le roi
noir peut fuir en f4 mais tel que le diagramme est montré (roi blanc en
g2), le fou peut alors faire mat en d2. Si le roi blanc est en h2, alors dans
le jeu apparent après 1...Rf4, il n'y a pas de mat. Il est donc ultra
important dans le jeu apparent de pourvoir un mat pour les cases de fuites
du roi noir (comme de pourvoir aussi aux échecs possibles au roi blanc).
Ce fut la raison de mon choix. On remarquera que dans le "jeu
apparent", si 1...Rg6 2.Tg7 mat donc encore une fuite de prévue.

Bien sûr que les trois problèmes sont différents, mais les mats
sont semblables ainsi que les clés de double sacrifice. Il est probable et
même certain que Kreinine (1928) ne connaissait pas l'oeuvre de Legentil
(1909) lorsqu'il composa son problème, pas plus que je connaissais leurs
oeuvres lorsque je composai le mien.

Ainsi donc dans les concours, on publie les problèmes gagnants


mais le verdict ne devient officiel habituellement que six mois après. Ceci
a pour but de laisser aux amateurs le temps de chercher pour voir s'il n'y
a pas eu ANTICIPATION.

CHAPITRE VII

UN PEU D'HISTOIRE
Il n'y a pas de domaine comme celui du problème où l'adage
"celui qui ne connaît pas l'histoire est condamné à la répéter" ne
s'applique pas avec plus de rigueur.

Considérons ce qu'il y a de plus vieux comme miniature, un


problème historique tiré de manuscrits de la Renaissance :

No 16
"BONUS SOCIUS"
Manuscrit XIIIe siècle

1.Th-g7!
si 1…Rc8,Cb7 ou Cc8 2.Ta8 mat
si 1…Rc8,Cf7 ou Cc8 2.Tg8 mat

Nous nous en servirons pour illustrer


le dual, un des défauts les plus
3+2 Mat en 2 coups fréquents chez les jeunes
compositeurs. On dit qu'il y a dual sur
tous autres mouvements du Cavalier, parce que les blancs peuvent mater
indifféremment avec l'une ou l'autre des deux tours. Ce problème no 16
était relativement facile à solutionner et n'avait pour ainsi dire qu'un
intérêt historique.

Bien que le jeu d'échecs soit millénaire, le problème d'échec n'est


apparu en réalité qu'au cours des deux derniers siècles. Les premiers
problèmes se retrouvent dans les manuscrits arabes de manuels
d'éducation des jeunes où on utilise le problème comme exercice de
logique. Au début de l'histoire des problèmes d'échecs, la mode était
plutôt aux énigmes. Les énoncés proposaient surtout des mats en
plusieurs coups, les clés étaient brutales souvent (échec au roi, prise de

- 33 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

pièces majeures, etc.) et il n'y avait qu'une variante, une ligne d'attaque.
Par la suite, l'évolution a été relativement lente. L'objet du problème
demeurait didactique, mais cette fois l'audience était plutôt le jeune
joueur. La position ressemblait plus étroitement à la finale de partie.
C'était un peu comme les parties brillantes où une attaque subtile force un
mat à courte échéance.

16a
Bonus Socius
Manuscrit 1350

Jeu apparent :
1. ... Ca7 2. Txa7, b7#
1. ... Cc8~ 2. Ta7#
Clé : 1. Ta7!+
1. ... Cxa7 2. b7#

Le no 16a n'est pas un miniature, mais


4+5 Mat en 2 coups peut nous servir d'exemple. L'intérêt
de l'énigme tient à la nette supériorité
des forces noires dans la position de départ. La clé 1.Ta7+ n'a rien de
subtil puisqu'elle force le jeu dans une seule variante. Cependant, la
présence de deux lignes de jeu apparent illustrent comment le
compositeur pouvait tendre un piège au solutionniste et l'amener
découvrir la solution par simple déduction.

16b
Auguste d'ORVILLE
Manuscrit de Nurenberg 1842

- 34 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Au cours de XIXe sciècle une évolution lente a commencé à se produire,


la clé est peu à peu devenue plus subtile. L'échec au roi et la prise de
pièces majeures furent bannies comme étant brutales et manquant de
subtilité. Le no16b par Auguste d'Orville illustre ce changement : la clé
Fe5 prépare le mat en instituant la menace du mat par Dd5. Le problème
commence à se construire autour de la stratégie positionnelle. La
première victime de cette évolution sera l'agressivité dans la clé. À tel
point qu'aujourd'hui ce n'est qu'exceptionnellement que l'on voit un
échec au roi comme premier coup. Tout au plus tolère-t-on la prise d'un
pion comme clé. Cette ligne de pensée est un corollaire naturel de
l'essence même du problème : pour qu'il y ait une plus grande difficulté
à résoudre l'énigme, il faut que le coup clé ne soit pas trop puissant.

La multiplicité des variantes éloignait le problème du jeu


proprement dit. Elles mettaient mieux l'interrelation des pièces dans une
composition créée par un auteur, comparativement au hasard d'une
position de partie due aux cerveaux de deux antagonistes.

No 16b
Samuel LOYD

si 1. ... Ff6, Rxé8 [a] 2. Dg8 [B] mat
si 1. .... Rf6 2. Tf8 mat

4+3 Mat en 2 coups


Quant au nombre de coups, on
peut dire que la masse des
problèmes modernes sont des oeuvres de mat en deux et trois
coups. Néanmoins, les mats à coups multiples conservent encore
une place importante. Le no 16b est représentatif de cette
transformation du problème. La clé, bien que forte, a pour objet de
réduire la marge de manœuvre du Roi Noir tout en donnant une
case de fuite en f6. Après la clé on retrouve trois variantes
différentes dont un mat changé par rapport au jeu apparent.

- 35 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Au cours des années, des écoles se formèrent comme dans les


autres arts. Certains donnant leur préférence aux mats miroirs, aux mats
purs, aux mats économiques, etc., car au début du problème l'intérêt était
concentré, surtout chez l'école Bohémienne, sur le type de mat. Par
contre, l'école Américaine, représentée par le géant Samuel Lloyd, le
Paul Morphy des problémistes et surement le plus grand problémiste de
son époque, s'intéressait davantage à la difficulté de la clé.

Après les massacres genre parties, l'intérêt était commençait à se


concenter sur la difficulté de la clé et la beauté des mats. Pendant ce
temps, les européens étaient à la recherche des règles d'esthétique qui
allaient conditionner l'émergence des échecs artistiques. C'était l'époque
du problème américain (difficulté de la clé) et du problème victorien
(subtilité des variantes). La synthèse se réalisera gràce à un jeune mécène
de Cleveland: Alain Cambell White. Il sera l'instigateur et le parrain du
"Good companion Chess Problem Club", fondé en 1913. La grande
ambition de White sera de regrouper les problémistes du monde entier et
de former une fraternité qui aurait pour mission de mettre ne valeur le
talent et abattre les barrières géo-politiques. Nous sommes à l'époque de
la Guerre mondiale de 1914-1918 et de la prédominance de l'État-nation
impérialiste.

Chaque année ce philanthrope publiait un volume sur les


problèmes d'échec. Il l'offrait en cadeau de Noël avec ses voeux. C'est
pourquoi ces volumes portent le nom de "Christmas Series" et sont
importants tant au point de vue historique, qu'au point de vue de leur
contenu. Voici la liste complète des premiers volumes de "Christmas

La période d'entre-guerres verra l'émergence d'une nouvelle


génération de problémistes. L'apport du Good Companions sera majeur
dans la mesure où il démontrera la convergence des écoles de pensée et la
communauté des normes esthétiques. Cette synthèse sera le point de
départ d'une nouvelle phase d'exploration dans la composition. Bientôt,
les compositeurs s'intéressèrent aux diverses manières de réaliser des
mats changés et à la combinaison des idées dans des ensembles plus
stratégiques que techniques. L'analyse du jeu apparent (avant la clé) sert
de composante essentielle à la découverte du mat changé, mais aussi
donne une dimension de subtilité que le problème médiéval ne pouvait
donner.

- 37 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

C'était un premier pas vers le concept du problème stratégique et


de ce qui est considéré comme le problème moderne. Les thèmes présentés
dans les chapitres précédents (Grimshaw, roue du Cavalier, fuite en étoile,
etc..) se manifestaient dans le jeu APRÈS la clé. Avec les mats changés,
voici que l'on reliait le jeu apparent, celui d'avant la clé, avec le jeu réel,
celui d'après la clé. C'était une démarche visant l'unité totale d'un
problème, vers l'intégration de deux phases importantes du jeu.

La différence importante va être introduite en donnant un rôle


à l'essai dans l'expression de l'idée de l'auteur. La notion d'essai prend
rapidement de la vogue, parce qu'elle crée une autre phase du jeu, elle
double le plaisir en mettant en vedette deux perspectives du jeu dans un
même problème. L'essai lui-même eut sa propre histoire. À l'essai
ordinaire, succéda l'essai thématique.

Puis vint le grand coup : le problème stratégique moderne.


C'est-à-dire un problème où les trois phases du jeu sont entrelacées,
formant un tout homogène, une ouvre d'une beauté suprême. Par
exemple, dans un récent concours (1976) on définissait le thème comme
suit :

"Dans la position initiale, les Blancs clouent une pièce noire N


qui cloue elle-même une pièce blanche B. L'essai thématique décloue B qui
mate en menace et/ou en variante. La clé décloue N qui décloue B qui
mate qui mate " - Memorial Jean Oudot".
Et voilà! Comment un joueur d'échecs peut-il apprécier un premier prix
sans être à la page de ces raffinements modernes? Le clouage, le déclouage,
l'essai thématique, le thème, la qualité des mats, les tabous, etc.... constituent
un ensemble de notions qu'il faut connaître pour bien apprécier un problème.
Nous n'avons pas la prétention de couvrir toutes ces notions dans cet
ouvrage. Notre but sera atteint si seulement nous pouvons susciter assez
d'intérêt pour que les "joueurs" désirent s'instruire davantage sur le domaine
des "problémistes".

Que réserve l'avenir du problème? Il faut faire confiance au


génie créateur des problémistes qui n'ont pas manqué d'innover en
progressant depuis deux siècles. D'autres et nous-même entrevoyons de
nouvelles possibilités. Pour ceux qui aimeraient se tenir à la page, nous

suggérons un abonnement aux revues suivantes, uniquement consacrées


aux problèmes :

"The Problemist"
"Sinfonie Scacchastica"

Cette courte histoire - ultra brève - nous espérons situera le


lecteur. Nous avons cru qu'elle serait mieux comprise ainsi insérée à mi-
chemin de l'ouvrage. Ainsi l'on réalisera aussi mieux l'importance du
MAT CHANGÉ dont les problèmes suivants sont des exemples.

Comme nous le disions précédemment dans un bon problème, les échecs
au roi blanc sont toujours prévus d'un mat dans le jeu apparent.. L'auteur
aurait pu renverser la position et alors remplacer les deux fous blancs par
deux pions blancs ce qui aurait présenté la même idée avec plus
d'économie, mais alors la solution aurait été de par trop évidente.

car alors la dame peut mater en e8 ou en h8. Parmi les quatre problèmes,
c'est le premier prix d'emblée.

Vous avez certainement réalisé ce qu'est la notion fondamentale


de "mats changés" : c'est une relation qui existe entre certains mats préparés
contre des défenses noires dans le jeu apparent et qui sont changés (pour les
mêmes défenses noires) après la clé. Récapitulons :

Problème Avant la clé Après la clé


No 17 : 1…Ta1+ 2.Dxa1 mat 1…Ta1+ 2.Ta2 mat
No 18 : 1...Dxe4+ 2.Pxe4 mat 1. Dxc4+ 2.Pxc4 mat

No 20 : 1…Txb6+ 2.Rxb6 mat 1…Txb6+ 2. Cxb6 mat

Le numéro 18 est un exemple moins pur car ce n'est pas


exactement le même échec au roi après qu'avant la clé (comme dans les
trois autres problèmes).

Dans ces miniatures, un seul mat est changé, mais dans les
problèmes plus "pesants" on a réussi plusieurs mats changés. Voici un
exemple à étudier :

mats changés soient des échecs au roi
comme dans les exemples que nous venons d'étudier; au contraire, ce
sont habituellement des mats divers qui sont changés.

CHAPITRE IX

L'ESSAI
Vous avez remarqué que dans les problèmes nos 21 et 22, il
existait un astérisque au chiffre 2 indiquant le nombre de coups pour
mater. Plusieurs revues (entre autres "The Problemist") emploient cet
indice pour avertir le solutionniste qu'il y a un jeu apparent important.
D'autres revues ("Sinfonie Scacchistiche") indique tout simplement qu'il
y a jeu apparent.
Pour introduire la discussion sur la notion d'essai, nous vous
proposons de résoudre les deux problèmes suivants :

No 22
Marc BENOIT

1. Fg4! Menace 2. Df3 mat


si 1. ... Ff5 2. Dxf5 mat

3+4 mat en 2 coups*

- 44 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Il est important de considérer la solution complète des deux problèmes


Nos 22 et 23, car nous voulons ici montrer la grande différence entre
l'essai simple et l'essai thématique. Comme cette différence est
importante et parfois subtile, j'ai donc choisi comme exemple deux
problèmes que je connaissais à fond, naturellement.
Dans le no 22:
Essai : 1. Rb3? blocus Clé : 1. Fg4! Menace 2. Df3 [A]
1. ... Fg6~ 2. D(x)f5 mat 1. ... Ff5 2. Dxf5 mat
1. ... d3 2. Fç6 mat 1. ... d3 2. De5, Ff3 mat
1. ... Rd3 [a] 2. Df3 [A] mat 1. ... Rd3 [a] 2. Dxg6 [B] mat
1. ... Rd5 2. Dç6/é5 mat 1. ... Rd5 2. De6 mat
Mais 1. ... Fh7!

Dans le no 23
Essai : 1. Db6? blocus Clé : 1. Da6 [B] ! blocus
1. ... Fc8~ 2. Dxb7# 1. ... Fc8~ 2. Dxb7#
1. ... axb6 2. Ta1# 1. ... bxa6 2. Tb8#
1. ... a5 [a] 2. Dxa5 [A] # 1. ... b6/b5 2. Dxç8#
Mais 1. ... a6!

Dans le no 22, nous avons un essai simple, tandis que dans le no


23 nous avons un essai thématique. Disons immédiatement que presque
toujours l'essai thématique a plus d'intérêt que l'essai simple. Ainsi la
critique du no 22 se lisait : "Donc un beau petit miniature mais avec rien de
spectaculaire". D'autre part, la critique du no 23 était beaucoup plus
encourageante : "Pourquoi l'essai du no 23 est-il thématique et celui du no 22 non?
Vous noterez que dans le no 22, l'essai n'a aucune relation avec le jeu réel i.e. le jeu
d'après la clé. Par contre dans le no 23, l'essai est un sacrifice de la Dame au Pion a7
et la clé un sacrifice de la Dame au Pion b7. Il y a donc une intime relation entre
l'essai et le jeu réel, ce qui rend l'essai thématique. C'est pourquoi on a qualifié ce
problème de "Very Good" car il est très difficile de réaliser un essai en miniature et par
conséquent encore plus difficile d'accéder à l'essai thématique".

Il faut ici vous mettre en garde contre de fausse interprétation de


l'essai thématique. De ce qui précède, on pourrait croire qu'il y a essai
thématique seulement lorsqu'il existe une relation entre le coup de l'essai
thématique (ici i.Db6!?) et la clé (1.Da6!). L'essai thématique peut porter
sur une autre notion. Il y a essai thématique même si le coup d'essai et la

- 45 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

clé n'ont pas une relation directe. Dans beaucoup de problèmes, le coup
d'essai développe un certain jeu qui, en tant que jeu, lui, a une relation
avec le jeu (et non la clé) ouvert par la clé.

Dans la critique du no 23, on mentionne que l'essai thématique


ajoutait une nouvelle dimension à un problème classique. Comme le
critique B.P. Barnes (un des plus grands compositeurs Britanniques)
l'implique, l'addition de l'essai thématique est suffisant pour différencier le
problème no 22 de ses prédécesseurs et lui mériter le qualificatif de très
bon. C'est donc insister sur l'importance qu'exerce l'essai et surtout l'essai
thématique sur les compositeurs modernes. C'est, comme nous l'avons
dit, que l'essai thématique noue parfaitement le jeu coup d'essai au jeu
réel.

Nous devons insister sur cette notion d'essai et d'essai


thématique car dans le problème contemporain, il existe peu ou pas de
thème qui ne relie pas une ou l'autre, ou les trois phases du jeu : le jeu
apparent au jeu réel, le jeu après le coup d'essai au jeu réel, le jeu apparent
au jeu d'après le coup d'essai ou mieux nouer les trois.

En conséquence, essayons d'extraire toutes les informations de


notre petit exemple no 23. Après le coup blanc :

1.Dc6 si 1… F bouge 2.DxP mat


si 1…Pxa6 alors 2.Tb8 mat
si 1…Pb6 alors 2. ?
si 1…Pa5 alors 2. ?

Le coup 1.Dc6 ne constitue pas un essai car il y a deux coups


noirs (Pa6 et Pa5) qui réfutent la tentative des blancs. Rappelons que
pour qu'il y ait essai, il faut que les blancs matent après tous les coups des
noirs, excepté un. Or dans ce cas il y a deux réfutations.

Il en va de même pour les tentatives 1.RxF (réfutées par Pa5 et


Pa5), 1.Dd8, 1.Df8, 1.Dh8 et 1.Df3, tous aussi réfutés par 1....Pa6 et
1....Pa5.

- 46 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Examinons aussi un élément de composition.


Déplaçons la Tour blanche de b1 à b5. Alors,
l'essai thématique 1.Db6 disparaît car après
1....PxD et 1....Pa6, il n'existe pas de mat au
coup suivant. Donc, deux coups qui réfutent
la tentative 1.Db6. Cependant, un autre essai
est introduit :

1.Dc6!? Pxc6 2.Tb8 mat


si 1…F bouge alors 2.Dxb7 mat
si 1…Pa5 alors 2.Txb7 mat
si 1…Pa6 alors 2. ?

Comme compositeur, il fallait choisir entre cette disposition des


pièces (la Tour blanche en b5) ou la position publiée (la Tour blanche en
b1). Dans ce cas, le goût personnel devient le seul moyen de trancher la
question. J'ai choisi la forme publiée parce qu'elle était plus aérée, parce
que les mats me semblaient plus beaux.

Enfin, une dernière considération, la Tour


blanche pourrait être placée en b2 (mais elle
interférerait avec l'accès de la Dame en a1, une
tentative possible et une atteinte à la mobilité de
la Dame), en b3 ou en b4 (question de goût).
Mais si l'on place la Tour en b6 nous obtenons
un problème assez différent :

1.Dc6! Pxc6 2.Tb8mat


si 1…Pxb6 2.Da4mat
si 1…F bouge 2.DxPmat
si 1…Pa6 2.Txa6mat (mat cloué)
si 1…Pa5 2.Ta6mat (mat cloué).

Un beau petit problème avec quatre mats distincts, une pièce en


prise et une clé sacrifice mais n'ayant aucun essai thématique. En fait,
cette dernière disposition des pièces constitue un problème JUMEAU au
premier, problèmes qui font le sujet du chapitre XI.

CHAPITRE X

RÉCAPITULONS

Ce modeste ouvrage n'a pas la prétention d'être un traité complet


sur le problème. Nous avons à peine exploré les rudiments. Nous
espérons en restant simple et forcément incomplet, vous enthousiasmer
suffisamment pour que vous poursuiviez vos lectures et que
graduellement le jargon propre aux problémistes vous devienne familier.

Mais surtout en entrouvrant cette fenêtre, nous espérons aussi


que vous apprécierai davantage la beauté des problèmes.
Malheureusement, beaucoup de problèmes publiés sont vides de contenu,
tout au plus méritent-ils le nom d'énigme et il n'offre rien à l'esprit. Dans
la bibliographie, les volumes portant un astérisque sont plus
particulièrement recommandés pour ceux qui désireraient apprendre
davantage. En plus, nous avons donné une liste des revues spécialisées
où presque tous, sinon tous les problèmes publiés sont d'excellente
qualité.

À ce stade de notre pérégrination, il convient de résumer le peu


que nous avons appris : la qualité des mats (École Bohémienne), la
difficulté de clé (Good Companions Chess Club), le jeu apparent, le jeu
après le coup d'essai, le jeu réel, l'interférence (Grimshaw, par exemple),
mats préparés, mats changés et enfin quelques thèmes. Mais surtout nous
connaissons mieux le problème.

Au sujet des thèmes : il en existe des centaines. Chaque année


de nouvelles idées thématiques naissent, exploitant des nouvelles
relations.
Comme exercice, nous proposons trois problèmes composés par des
grands maîtres norvégiens et qui contiennent l'une ou l'autre des notions
discutées. Pouvez-vous les identifier?

La solution du magnifique no 25,


4+3 Mat en 2 coups riche en jeu avec quatre belles
variantes et une clé de sacrifice, ainsi
que les éléments contenus dans ce problème se présentent comme suit :
après 1. Th5! Menace 2. Db6 mat
1. si 1. ... Rxa7 2. Ta5 mat - Mat pur car toutes les cases
entourant le roi ne sont gardées que par l'unique action
d'une pièce blanche. Mat économique aussi car toutes les
pièces blanches (exception faite du Roi ou des pions si il y
en a) sont nécessaires au mat. Donc, le mat étant pur et
économique s'appelle mat modèle.
2. si 1. ... Txa7 2. Db5 mat - Mat pur mais non économique
car la case a5 est gardée à la fois par la Dame et par la Tour
en action interposée. L'effet dans le mat de la Tour noire en
a7 est un effet dit d'autoblocage, c'est-à-dire que les noirs se
bloquent eux-mêmes, que la Tour noire empêche son Roi
de fuir en a7.

1. Ce mat préparé dans le jeu apparent est changé après la clé,


nous pouvons donc classifier ce problème dans la catégorie
des problèmes à mat changé (MUTATE, en anglais). On
remarquera que cette variante n'est possible qu'à cause de
l'interférence du Cavalier sur l'action du Fou qui pourrait
sans cette interférence venir autrement s'interposer en e4.
Par contre, le Cavalier défait la menace DxF en pouvant à
partir de g6 venir s'interposer en h4. Ce mat n'est pas pur
mais économique.
2. Mat économique seulement.
3. Mat ni économique (le Cavalier blanc étant inutile au mat)
ni pur (la case gl étant gardée par deux pièces blanches,
Cavalier et Dame).

CHAPITRE XI

LA CORRECTION NOIRE

Et pour solutionner en début de chapitre, nous soumettons à notre


sagacité une autre oeuvre d'un problémiste Norvégien.

No 28
JOHANNES LUND
Ostlendinge, 1961

1. Fc7! blocus
1. ... Cb7 2. Ta8 mat
1. ... Cd8~ 2. Dxé6 mat
1. ... Ce6~ 2. Dxd8 mat
1. ... Cxc7 2. Dxç7 mat

4+3 Mat en 2 coups Lorsque, après la clé, une pièce noire


jouant au hasard crée un dommage à
son camp en donnant l'opportunité
d'un mat aux blancs et que cette même pièce noire jouant en une case
spécifique empêche ce mat, mais obligatoirement crée un autre dommage
qui permet un autre mat par les blancs, nous avons ce qu'il est convenu
d'appeler une Correction noire (Black Correction, en anglais). Cette
Correction noire est un élément important de plusieurs thèmes modernes.
Quelquefois, et c'est l'objet d'un thème, la pièce noire jouant au hasard
pare à une menace directe introduite par la clé, mais tel n'est pas le cas de
notre exemple. De plus, la pièce noire faisant le jeu de la Correction peut
répéter son manège plus d'une fois, d'où la Correction noire multiplie.

Tout ceci peut paraître bien difficile à comprendre d'un premier


abord sans un exemple. Considérons la solution du no 28 :
La clé 1.Fc7!
Si 1…Cd bouge 2.Dx e6 mat (1)
Si 1…Cdb7 2.Ta8 mat (2)

- 53 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

Si 1…Ce bouge 2.DxCdmat (3)


Si 1…Cexc7 2.Dxc7mat (4)

1. Le Cavalier en d8 joue au hasard et la Dame fait mat en prenant


l'autre Cavalier.
2. Ce que voyant, les noirs essaient de jouer leur Cavalier à un
meilleur endroit, ils jouent donc en b7 empêchant ainsi le mat de
la Dame prenant l'autre Cavalier. Mais en ce faisant, ils créent un
autre dommage à leur camp. Ils auto-bloquent la case b7,
permettant un nouveau mat des blancs par 2.Ta8!mat.
3. Le thème de Correction noire se répète avec l'autre Cavalier qui,
lui aussi, en jouant au hasard permet le mat 1.DxCdmat. N'est-
ce pas une merveilleuse composition, ce dédoublement de thème
dans un tout petit problème!
4. Cette variante un peu brutale complète le jeu et devant la finesse
de l'ensemble, on se doit d'oublier ce petit massacre de prises.
Qu'on me permette une parenthèse. Si de telles combinaisons, plaisantes
à l'esprit, peuvent être assemblées avec si peu de pièces que disposent le
problémiste dans un miniature en deux coups, peut-on alors réaliser les
merveilleux trésors de satisfaction intellectuelle que les grands maîtres
peuvent, disposant de plus de pièces et/ou de plus de coups, peuvent
enfermer dans leur merveilleux coffre échiquéen? Il me faut retenir mon
enthousiasme pour ne pas citer des une foule d'autres oeuvres et il me
faut faire violence pour m'en tenir au cadre que je me suis imposé :

CHAPITRE XII

LES JUMEAUX

J'intervertis ici un peu l'ordre sensiblement établi avant pour la


simple raison que la catégorie des problèmes jumeaux nécessite d'être
présentée avant de donner des ouvres à résoudre. Il existe des jumeaux,
des triplets, des quadruplets, etc. mais qui sont-ils?

On parle de problème jumeau lorsqu'une position représentant


un problème est modifié très légèrement et alors présente un autre
problème. Disons immédiatement que la modification est inventée par le
même auteur et que la clé des deux problèmes doit nécessairement être
différente. Seule la position des pièces des deux problèmes reste
semblable.

Quant aux modifications, elles peuvent consister en divers trucs.


Le déplacement d'une seule pièce, habituellement un pion mais pas
nécessairement. Par exemple ce problème d'Ottavio Stocchi, un des
"grands" d'Italie :

No 29

b) Pf7 = Pd7

Dans le no 29, les deux solutions ont


des éléments communs mais aussi
4+3 Mat en deux coups des éléments distincts. Ainsi, la clé est
différente. Bien que les deux coups
de mat 2.Fb6 se ressemblent, ils sont en réalité des réponses à deux
défenses différentes. Quant à la séquence 1.g2~ 2.Dh2 est commune.

différentes. L'ensemble des jumeaux est donc relié à la position originale
du diagramme et chaque position est une variation de cette position. Dans
le numéro 31, la position se transforme successivement par le
déplacement d'une pièce. La position originale et la position finale sont
alors très différentes.
À remarquer que le no 23 aurait pu et aurait dû être publié comme un
problème jumeau :

a) Diagramme;
b) Le T en bl placée en b6.

Une autre manière de construire un jumeau consiste à déplacer


la position d'une ou plusieurs colonnes sur la droite ou sur la gauche ou
encore d'une ou plusieurs lignes. Le No32 du Dr Speckmann en est un
exemple simple.

est que les deux positions se ressemblent étrangement, mais que la clé

Malheureusement, beaucoup de
5+2 Mat en 2 coups problèmes publiés n'auraient jamais
dû l'être. Souvent composés par des
amateurs qui pensent, peut-être comme vous au début, qu'un problème
n'est qu'un énigme, que sa qualité principale, unique, est d'avoir une clé
difficile. Quelques-uns vont plus loin et avec une clé (qu'ils croient
difficile) présentent quelques variantes - sans briser de record bien
entendu!

Ces problèmes n'ont pas une seule idée de thème, de "task", de


rien que ce soit. Leur banalité déroutante est funeste à la bonne
réputation du problème et, à mon avis, constitue la principale cause
pourquoi il y a si peu d'amateurs de problèmes, comparativement aux
adeptes du jeu. Comment peut-on s'enthousiasmer pour l'insipidité, la
banalité?

Sans doute une autre cause du petit nombre de solutionnistes


(celui qui résout des problèmes) ou de problémistes (celui qui compose)
est qu'avant d'être problémiste, il faut savoir jouer aux échecs. Être
problémiste ajoute donc une dimension au jeu d'échecs, ceci dit sans
intention dénigrante, et souvent plusieurs s'arrêtent au premier pas sans
jamais franchir le deuxième. Peuvent-ils être blâmés si dans leurs

- 59 -
I n i t i a t i o n a u p r o b l è m e d ’ é c h e c s

tentatives, ils sont tombés sur de piètres compositions qui n'avaient rien à
offrir comme défi intellectuel?

Comme je viens de le mentionner, le groupe d'amateurs de


problèmes se divise en deux camps : ceux qui proposent un problème et
ceux qui le solutionnent. Rarement un grand solutionniste est-il
compositeur! Toutes les revues spécialisées dans les problèmes d'échecs
publient la liste des meilleurs solutionnistes. Ceux-ci gagnent des points
pour résoudre les problèmes en deux coups, plus pour les trois coups et
plus pour les multi-coups. Certains magazines donnent d'excellents bonis
pour les démolitions. D'autres points encore sont attribués pour la
solution des mats aidés, des mats réflexes et de tous ces mats qui font
partie des échecs féeriques dont il n'est pas question dans le volume.
Cette somme de points que peut gagner un solutionniste est accumulée à
chaque mois et constituent un concours permanent.

Ainsi le solutionniste, constamment aux aguets pour les


démolitions, prodiguant souvent une critique sur les problèmes qu'il
solutionne, devient-il une aide précieuse au problémiste. Pour éviter les
démolitions dégradantes, le problémiste redouble de vigilance. D'autre
part, les remarques du solutionniste constituent soit un encouragement
pour un auteur ou soit une source d'information qui l'aide à améliorer son
style.

En conséquence des remarques précédentes, je vous propose


donc un mélange d'excellents et de piètres problèmes. Je suis certain que
vous pourrez différencier les uns des
autres.

POSTFACE
Le manuscrit s’arrête à peu près ici. Les deux dernières sections ne
comportaient pas suffisamment de matériel et de texte pour être
reconstituées. La première portait sur la composition et devait donner
l’itinéraire du compositeur dans une démarche autour du thème
Fleck. Malheureusement, la matrice utilisée demeure inadéquate et le
texte inconsistant avec le diagramme. Enfin, on peut retrouver le plan
d’un chapitre sur l’analyse rétrograde qui ne comporte que quelques
notes sans intérêt.
L’aventure de Marc Benoit s’arrête ici. En publiant ce manuscrit, nous
avons voulu chercher à préserver ce travail et le livrer aux générations
futures. Il nos apparaît que c’était la l’intention et nous aimerions
croire qu’elle est ainsi respectée.

Solution Quiconque fait le paon dans les circonstances


Est bien capable d’autres impénitences.
Mais encore une chance je vous accorde.

«L’espoir abandonné» Que prévale le bon


Et votre impertinence appellera mon pardon
No. 46. Si vous tombez ce sera sans conséquences.
Le Roi noir regarda autour et remarqua
comment Le cavalier s’élança sans égard pour sa vie;
Nos rangs étaient décimés et brisés, et que Il enfourcha monture et engagea l’action;
désormais Il parvint au point où, par sa brave intention
Le prix ne valait pas nos minces succès; A mépris de six morts il trouva un sursis.
Il déclara, «La bataille est perdue, abandonnons Car si l’ennemi pouvait le terrasser
sur le champ!» Au sort d’un vassal, son roi abandonnait
«Mais pas le Chevalier!» de rétorquer la brave Et si le roi lui-même la fin considérait,
monture La danse d’un fou venait le contrer.
«Mon étalon di non, et la jour a encore un Si on pouvait, au cavalier épargner la mort,
futur». Et de son courroux le souverain protéger,
Alors le Roi se retourna et dit d’un air sévère: Encore devaient ils échouer face au clergé
«Vous plaisantez, sire Chevalier, il vous en Dont le glaive de gauche à droite en scellait
coûtera la tête. le sort
Lancez votre monture - je vous accorde cette

Place aux Dames Mais comme il sonnait l’échec


La Reine l’arrêta aussi sec
No. 47. Et récompensant sa vaillance
Combien menu le pouvoir des Rois Lance au roi maudit son ennemi
Au échecs, choses dépourvues ! Un message qui était aussi un cri
Il «tronent» maid ne reignent pas; «Tu es perdu au mat!»
Combien alors il serait mal vu «Combien vrai» dit le souverain, en rage
Qu’un Roi d’échecs ne soit tenté Et si mes troupes avaient été sages
De bravement «passer ou crever» Et non pas des parias
Alors que son épouse ici-bas Un gentil cavalier aurait-il dans son sang
Puisse se révéler l’atout du combat. Par une démarche digne de son rang
Ainsi se dit le Roi, et se détourna Allongé le combat.
Car bien qu’il en ressentit un désir «Nenni» de dire la Dame
De combat, il dut aussi pressentir «Quelle que soit le fil ou la trame
La retraite que la sagesse amena D’une des six morts tu périras!»
Laissant à sa gentille compagne Dans un soupir expira le Roi :
La case pour mener campagne. «La vérité que celà
Ainsi décida le Roi Et si je persiste dans la résistance
La retraite pour moi. Je n’ai de place pour ma prestance
Prèt pour l’assaut, brandissant sa lance Oh terrible constat!
Voyez la menace noire qui s’avance A mon ennemi la victoire je concède
Combien longe fut son attente Sa bravoure aura causé ma perte

CHESS PROBLEMS
being a selection of original positions; to which are
added others, extracted from rare and valuable
works forming together one hundred ends of games;
won or drawn by brilliant and scientific moves; to
which are added the names of the authors.

PREFACE

Ends of Games or Positions won or drawn by masterly moves, have


always been considered by the best Chess players and writers as emi-
nently useful, if not absolutely necessary towards forming the finished
player; and though many excellent ones have already been published,
yet I am not without hopes that the following work will be favourably
received by the Chess world, as it contains forty-eight original posi-
tions, besides others extracted from authors little known even to the
good Chess player, none of them having been copied from Stamma’s
Work, the Stratagems of Chess, Sarratt’s Treatise, or the Oriental Chess.
I have endeavoured as much as possible to select such Positions as
are instructive as well as amusing; accordingly, the reader will observe,
that there are many in which the White, though unable to checkmate
in a given number of moves, can yet acquire such a superiority as to
have a winning game. Such positions are generally the most improv-
ing. Among those in which the number of moves is fixed, will be found
many in which as the White is not exposed to an immediate check-
mate, it by no means follows that he must give check every move: such
positions are more difficult than those in which from the situation of
the pieces it is evident the Black must be checked every move.
I defer for the present publishing the Solutions, that the reader may
solve the Problems without being tempted to refer to the Key. They
will however be printed in the course of the present year; and though
in such a work it is next to impossible to be perfectly accurate, yet I
believe very few errors will be found. In some perhaps the checkmate
may be delayed for a move or two by a useless sacrifice, an instance of
which occurs in the Forty-fifth Situation, in which the mate cannot be
given in less than ten moves.
In conclusion, I have to offer my sincere thanks to those friends
whose contributions have enriched the Work, and enabled me to
render it more worthy the attention of the scientific player.

PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

The original text was published in London, 1827. The original preface
suggests that the solutions were published separately, though in the
copy used there is no obvious break between the first part and the so-
lutions: page numbers, even sheet numbering, is continuous.
Solutions have been converted to modern algebraic form from the
extremely extended descriptive notation of the original. The original
solution of problem nr 1 has been kept in order to give an idea of the
original format.

... Problemiste for problems up to #5.

PREFACE

In offering this little volume of little problems to the ever-increas-


ing body of chess lovers both at home and abroad, I have been ac-
tuated by a desire to focus in one volume all the best work of chess
composers in this fascinating branch of problem construction.
It is pretty well laid down now that a Miniature Chess Problem is
one containing not more than seven men all told, and I have con-
fined my researches to those with three moves only, as being the
most popular and containing some of the most beautiful play to
be found in the whole range of chess strategy.
I have endeavoured to make the work a popular one, and one
that could be easily carried about and looked at in odd moments.
So far as I know there is only one work of similar nature, Blumen-
thal’s “Schachminiaturen,” which, admirable as it is, is virtually
closed to the ordinary solver on account of difficulties of the lan-
guage. I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Blumenthal’s
work for many fine examples in the following pages.
The chess enthusiast will find in these problems simplicity,
beauty, and in many cases difficulty. None of the problems com-
mence with either check, capture, or pawn promotion. English,
Continental and American composers are all represented, and I
have endeavoured to give the best problems of the kind I could
gather together from a collection of something over 1,500 exam-
ples.
A word as to the general arrangement of the book. As all the
problems are direct mates in three moves, it has not been neces-
sary to put the conditions under each. No index is necessary as
the composers’ names are in strict alphabetical order, and where
there is more than one problem those with the fewest pieces are
placed first. I have given the key moves only. Solvers will frequently
find that they have quite a good two-mover after getting the key.

I cannot close without expressing my thanks to the many friends,
most of them unknown to me, who have assisted me in various
ways. In particular I must thank Mr. F. Baird, the chess editor of
The Football Field, for his invaluable assistance. My thanks are INTRODUCTION

would be complete; but there are also a large number of unfamiliar
compositions. Mr. Wallis is to be warmly congratulated upon the
success he has achieved by painstaking care and perseverance.
To the general reader I would point out that, notwithstanding
all arguments to the contrary, it is possible to display wonderful
strategy in spite of overwhelming strength in the attacking forces.
To dismiss such positions on the ground of disparity of material
is to ignore some of the finest departments of the game of chess.
The whole collection points clearly to the existence of a branch
of chess worthy of as much investigation as end games, openings,
and other issues of the game proper.
The positions also point to a very distinct subdivision of the sci-
ence of problem construction. There is of course a strong family
likeness in many which are here collated, but in a large majority
the resemblance is purely a superficial one, since the correct solu-

since any move of the black forces must infallibly lose; but, bear-
ing in mind that the task is in every case to mate in three, it is most
fascinating to find that the mate is only accomplished by a hair’s
breadth, even though the attacking force may be, at first sight, so
overwhelming.
Such considerations show clearly that these “miniatures” are
compositions upon which much skill and resource have been lov-
ingly bestowed by composers. Amongst English authors, one of
the earliest masters to produce many such graceful compositions
was John Brown, familiarly known as “J. B. of Bridport,” who was,

De telles considérations montrent clairement que ces “problè-
mes en miniature” sont des compositions auxquelles leurs auteurs
ont apporté une grande habileté et beaucoup de ressource. Parmi
les auteurs anglais, l’un des premiers “maîtres” qui ait produit des
compositions si élégantes, fut John Brown, familièrement connu
sous le nom de “J. B. de Bridport” qui fut peut-être le pionnier du
problème en miniature. II y a beaucoup d’autres compositeurs
de notre pays, qui ont produit de tels ouvrages, mais peu sem-
blent avoir choisi cette branche particulière de l’art de composer,
comme “spécialité.” Parmi les auteurs étrangers et coloniaux, on
peut mentionner Galitzky, Loyd, Shinkman, Wurzburg, Bayersdor-
fer et Kohtz & Kockelkorn, chacun desquels s’est montré prolifi-
que dans ses compositions de cette nature.
La question de difficulté—quant au point de vue solutionniste,—
n’est pas facile à décider. Quelques-uns des plus habiles disent
que ces problèmes sont très difficiles, par suite de la large “liberté
d’action” qu’on y trouve invariablement. D’autres, au contraire,
les trouvent faciles, à cause du nombre restreint des pièces qui
puissent vous induire en erreur. Naturellement, s’il n’y a, au plus,
que six pièces blanches qui puissent se déplacer pour jouer le pre-
mier coup, le travail à entreprendre pour analyser complètement
le problème se trouve moindre que si le nombre des pièces était
plus élevé. Mais il faut se rappeler que, moins il y a de pièces, plus
il y a de places vacantes où l’on peut les placer; de sorte que, par
un certain paradoxe, le peu de matériaux dont l’auteur s’est servi,
conduit, assez souvent, le solutionniste, à faire des erreurs. Dans
les problèmes plus chargés, l’idée de l’auteur, ou tout au moins,
une grande partie de cette idée, se laisse voir souvent, presque
immédiatement, mettant ainsi le solutionniste, “sur la piste” de
l’idée véritable.
Pour terminer, contentons-nous de dire que les ressources mer-

dass die Aufgabe in jedem Falle das Mat in drei Zügen ist, so ist
es zumeist überraschend zu finden, dass es gerade Mat ist und
nicht mehr, obwohl auf den ersten Blick die angreifende Macht so
überwältigend erscheint.
Solche Eigenschaften zeigen es klar, dass diese “Schachminiatu-
ren” grosse Gewandtheit, Erfahrung und Fleiss des Componisten
erfordern. Unter den englischen Autoren war John Brown, allge-
mein bekannt als “J. B. von Bridport,” einer der ältesten Meister,
der solche reizende Compositionen zustande brachte. Er ist viel-
leicht der Pionier der “Schachminiatur.” Es giebt auch mehrere
andere englische Componisten, die solche Werke geschaffen ha-
ben, aber wenige scheinen sich in diesem Zweige der Problem-
kunst thatsächlich spezialisiert zu haben. Von den Autoren ande-
rer Länder möchte ich erwähnen Galitzky, Loyd, Shinkman, Wurz-
burg, Bayersdorfer und Kohtz und Kockelkorn, welche zum Berei-
chern dieses Problemzweiges vieles beigetragen haben.
Die Frage der Schwierigkeit vom Standpunkte des Lösers ist
nicht leicht zu behandeln. Manche gewandten Löser sagen, dass
diese Probleme sehr schwierig sind, weil der Bewegungsraum
nicht eingeschränkt ist. Andere wieder behaupten, dass sie leicht

Natürlich, wenn höchstens sechs Steine den ersten Zug machen
können, so ist die Aufgabe einer erschöpflichen Analyse viel leich-
ter, als wenn die Anzahl der Steine eine grössere wäre. Jedoch darf
man nicht vergessen, dass, je geringer die Anzahl der Steine, desto
grösser die Anzahl der unbesetzten Felder, wohin die Figuren zie-
hen können. Deshalb,—wie paradox es auch klingen mag,—das
geringe Material führt den Löser sehr oft irre. In grösseren Proble-

On peut considérer un problème en trois coups comme une cer-


taine position d’une partie d’échecs entre Blancs et Noirs, dans
laquelle les Blancs, dont c’est le tour de jouer, cherchent à mater
les Noirs en trois coups, malgré tous les efforts de ceux-ci pour les
en empêcher. Si les Blancs ne réussissent pas à le faire, on doit les
considérer comme ayant perdu la partie, de sorte que les Noirs
sont prêts à jouer n’importe quel coup, quelque désespéré qu’il
soit, pour tenir en échec leurs adversaires pendant au moins trois
coups.
En admettant que le problème soit exact, il y a un coup parti-
culier, et un seul, par lequel les Blancs doivent commencer, s’ils
veulent arriver à leur but. S’ils commencent de toute autre façon,
les Noirs pourront reculer la défaite au-delà du nombre de coups
requis. Ce premier coup s’appelle la “clef du problème” et les Noirs
peuvent y répondre d’une ou de plusieurs manières. Chacune de
ces manières doit être examinée par les Blancs, à leur tour, et à
chacune ils doivent répondre par un coup, et un seul, qui y soit
approprié. Les Noirs jouent alors leur second coup, mais de toute
façon, les Blancs peuvent faire “mat” à leur troisième coup.
Une bonne clef ne restrind et ne menace pas généralement les
Noirs.
Parmi les problèmes de ce livre, il n’en est pas un seul dans le-
quel la clef soit un échec au roi, ou une capture, ou qui repose
sur la promotion d’un pion à une autre pièce. Si la position est
telle, que les Noirs, à leur premier coup, puissent capturer une
pièce ou un pion blanc, comme dans les Nos. 11 et 14, le solution-
niste expérimenté hésite à protéger la pièce menacée; il considère
d’abord ce qu’il ferait dans le cas où les Noirs exécuteraient leur
menace, et il essaie d’arranger sa clef de façon à pouvoir y parer.

143, 175, 178, 181, 182, 198, 202, 258, 275, 277, 278, 281, 289, 307,
308, 360, 363, 367, 380, 389, 393, 397, 399, 404, 443, 447, 473, 486,
487, 492, 518, 519, 523, 540, 541, 543, 558, 559, 562, 572, 576, 584,
600, 613, 614, 621, 632, 639, 641, 653, 659, 669, 684, 689, 755, 763,
767, 771, 774 = 69 problems.
Of these, 20 have been given in correct (or corrected) version in
Wiener Schachzeitung, 1909, p. 294-295; and of these, 15 have been
corrected as probable misprints: 41 (bKc4), 70 (bPh6), 258 (wP to
f2), 289 (wSe2), 360 (wQ to g4), 367 (bPe5), 380 (wKd7), 393 (wPf3),
397 (bSc1), 399 (wKe5), 447 (wKc3), 621 (wSh2 to h1), 755 (bSc6),
767 (bBf6), 774 (bSh8).
The corrections to the remaining 5 problems (492, 519, 523, 572,
and 614) have not been used, as they appear to be not corrections
of misprints but rather corrections to originally faulty problems.
As the origin of these corrections has not been ascertained, the
original text have been left unchanged; the WSz corrections are
given on the last page of the solutions.
The obvious misprint of 639 (wQa3) has been corrected.
The remaining unsound problems have been indicated with a
[†] if there are no solutions in the stipulated number of moves,
and with a [*] if there are several. A [!] indicates a problem that is
printed in reversed form, as described below.

During checking it appeared that some problems appeared to


have been printed in a form different to that cited elsewhere.
These problems are:
