PREFACE
A work like this requires little in the way of introduction. Individually its contents have already made their bow to the public, they are but gathered thus to renew old acquaintanceships, possibly, if the hope be not presumptuous, to make their circle of friends a little larger. The faces of a few, perhaps, wear the freshness that comes of forgetfulness, but all have undergone the ordeal of a rst appearance elsewhere, and now present themselves in no other guise than that of old stagers. Criticism has long ago spent its force against them, and needs here to be neither deprecated nor deed. Equally unnecessary are any remarks on the history or philosophy of Chess strategy. The learned world has probably at least as much regard for problems as paradoxes, and those anxious to provide it with knowledge thereon may reasonably expect for reward a gratitude too profound to be expressed. But that is not the object of this Collection. Its purpose will be fully attained if it interests any one who, caring nothing for the why or the how, delights in that particular form of enigma that is propounded in terms of Chess. In the selection of the various positions, the Author has been largely guided by the popular judgment at the time of publication, and he has included all those which have received in Problem Tourneys the more emphatic recognition of a judges award. Without entering into particulars 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. 63, New Bond Street, London 3
