SEVENTY-FIVE CHESS PROBLEMS

SEVENTY-FIVE CHESS PROBLEMS by John Thursby, Trinity Coll., Camb.,

[1883]

An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2000-07-29

DEDICATED to the Rev. W. Thursby Jan., 1st, 1883

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 extraordinary 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 Problem 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 notation 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 correction.

121 CHESS PROBLEMS J. W. Abbott [887]

An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2005-0-24

PREFACE A work like this requires little in the way of introduction. Individually its contents have already made their bow to the public, they are but gathered thus to renew old acquaintanceships, possibly, if the hope be not presumptuous, to make their circle of friends a little larger. The faces of a few, perhaps, wear the freshness that comes of forgetfulness, but all have undergone the ordeal of a 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 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

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 computer 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 unsoundness 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.

TO Henry Waite, Esq., 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 problems. 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 forwarded to the Era, the Illustrated London News, the Field, and many other newspapers, all agree with one consent in the same story, viz., the increasing popularity of problem making and solving. Problems are indeed the poetry of Chess. The same depth of imagination, 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 inventors. 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, Kieseritzky, 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 Theodore 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 problem. 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-

paratively easy to invent. In a word, although much admired on account of their intricacy and ingenuity, they lack the depth and complexity which characterise the best productions of the present day. Perhaps the most convenient way of classifying problems is to divide 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 certain 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 Tournament. “Suicidal and conditional problems have gone out of fashion, and the inference is, that the fanciful modes of play which they illustrate 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 accomplished Chess-player.’’ London, January, 1866.

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 Leschemelle’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 solutions, 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 collection such as this can be produced without persistent application partaking of the nature of work; and “recreation,” because the work has been a pleasure—how great a pleasure only a composer 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 appeared 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 letterpress 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. Brighton 1st May, 1902

PREFACE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITION

The original edition was published by Henry Sotheran & Co, London, 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 occasional corrections of problem source), and notes about the problems 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 letterpress: these problems have been set in diagrams, and, if associated with another numbered problem, given the same number followed by A, B, C, etc. in brackets. The six diagrams appearing 7

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 corrected.

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 Society for preserving Mrs. Baird’s notebooks and for making them available for research and publication. A. Thulin

No.  was the first problem to appear in the columns of the Times Weekly Edition, and in the half-year’s account proved the 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 solution tourney, with the result that I have been successful in winning 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.

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 collection such as this can be produced without persistent application partaking of the nature of work; and “recreation,” because the work has been a pleasure—how great a pleasure only a composer 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 appeared 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 letterpress 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. Brighton 1st May, 1902

PREFACE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITION

The original edition was published by Henry Sotheran & Co, London, 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 occasional corrections of problem source), and notes about the problems 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 letterpress: these problems have been set in diagrams, and, if associated with another numbered problem, given the same number followed by A, B, C, etc. in brackets. The six diagrams appearing 7

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 corrected.

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.

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 solutions into algebraic form; the remaining changes are only editorial. The following 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 Adobe FrameMaker with the text of the book set in Utopia™ from Adobe, and the diagrams in Hastings Diagram from Alpine Electronics. As far as I am concerned, this electronical edition is free, and may be used by anyone in any way whatsoever. Linköping, -- Anders Thulin

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 domain 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 banquet, 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 repast, and many warm and valued friendships have been cemented 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 respectively 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 integrity against all further analytical research. C. A. G. Brooklyn, September, 1890. 5

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 retained in the present edition. Solutions have been converted from descriptive to algebraic notation. Problems up to five moves have been checked by Matthieu Leschemelle’s computer program Problemiste 2.14b. Remaining 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 brackets, 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 Composition, 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 composers, 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 remarkable for their depth and beauty, as for their neat and elegant construction. We are, Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, THE EDITORS. February 1876.

PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

The present edition of English Chess Problems follows the original edition, published by Longmans, Green & Co., London, in 1876, as closely as possible as far as contents is concerned. The layout has been modified 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 programs. Problemiste by Matthieu Leschemelles was used for problems to 6 moves. For longer problems, Fritz 4.01 and Crafty with the Nalimov endgame databases were used for rough checking and exploration 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 successive 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 arrived, considering the rapid advance of Chess knowledge, and in particular 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 followed 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 historical or chronological form. The American Chess Nuts is, indeed, a magnificent 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 arrived at only after long labour and research. This fault we have endeavoured to avoid. We have, as a general rule, restricted the number of problems by each author to twelve. We have devoted a separate chapter 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 regarded with esteem and admiration. For the selection of Bolton’s masterpieces 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 admirable contrast between the remote and more modern styles, as it is immediately 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. Andrews, we should have hesitated considerably before resolving to add the labour of examining so many new productions to that of our other xi

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 esteemed 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 ingenious end games. It was considered the highest art to give Black a most preponderating force and White an apparently hopeless position, out of which he is made to extricate himself by a series of sacrifices 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 restrictions, 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 desirable; the sole aim of the author now is to render his idea in the simplest 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 absurd 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-columns 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

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 beauty 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 believe 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 artistic, 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 author kept together, one great advantage is, to a certain extent, sacrificed, viz., that of studying the special characteristics of each composer’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 interest. For, extraordinary as it may seem, that, with such a limited mechanism at command as there is in Chess, there should be so many distinct conceptions realizable; it is still more wonderful that the productions 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 century.* * 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 alteration. 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 different 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 assistance towards bringing the several points at issue to some final judgment. But whatever rules may be laid down they will always be disregarded, 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 England, 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 problems 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 faculty 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 labour and study is too apparent. The result may indeed be a difficult problem, but the form is artificial and laboured; in fact, they manufacture 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 reason 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 insert 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 possible. This principle has been aptly termed “economy of force,” and although 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 concealment 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 defence 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 giving Black a rich and varied defence are Andrews of England, and Bayer of Germany; their problems are distinguished principally for the display 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 guarded 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. Suffice 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.” Although the artifices resorted to are limited, and might easily be tabulated, still this does not constitute the virtue or essence of a problem, any more than the leaves which compose a flower represent the

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 concentrated 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 ingenuity, 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 sacrifices. Now, such problems are not of the highest rank at all, as reference to the problems by the best composers in this volume will amply demonstrate. We may especially cite J. B. of Bridport and Healey as exemplifying this. In our view, the finest conceptions are those where, by some move or set of moves difficult to see, either through their subtlety or the manifold resources in defence, a store of energy is laid up which breaks out at last and ensures defeat. Others may prefer conceptions of a different kind; but in all there must be concealment of design, 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 considerable 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 harmony 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 discovery, 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

five moves. At the same time, in the latter, there is a scope for manœuvre and design, serving to render many problems of this class profound studies, containing many beautiful variations. In conclusion, young composers must learn to depend upon themselves, 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, unless 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 without 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 constantly 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 vicious, pursuits or sources of recreation.

SOLUTIONS

The following symbols and conventions have been used in the solutions: † ‡ / , ~ ?

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

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

I n i t i a t i o n

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. Cancun, le 21 mars 1976.

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.

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. No 1 Dr. Werner SPECKMANN (d'après E.B. Cook) Revue F.I.D.E., 1963

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 Dame Tour Fou Cavalier Pion

=R= =D= =T= =F = =C= =P=

K Q R B N 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 peut y avoir d'équivoque, on aura tendance Diagramme 2-1 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 ~ (ou ad lib) + ++ +d # ! ? !?

: : : : : : : : :

prend coup général échec échec double 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 si 1…Pg2 si 1…Rxh5 si 1…Rf5

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

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

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. No 2

CHAPITRE III LES THÈMES SIMPLES No 3

William A. SHINKMAN Pittsburgh Gazette Times, 1915 1. De2! 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 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! 4+3 Mat en 2 coups

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

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

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?

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.

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 et d4 et a4 (b4 faisant partie de la première interférence). 3) f3, la T interfère avec l'action du F en g2 et h1. Le F interfère

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

avec l'action de la T en f1 et f2. Ceci fait donc six interférences totales possibles (la Tour et le Fou à tour de rôle sur trois cases). Un grand compositeur hollandais a cependant déjà réussi 5 interférences. Je vous recommande d'étudier la position A avec attention: (A) Jan HARTONG Good Companions Folder Mars 1919

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 Tournoi Yougoslave, 1958 1er prix 1. Cé4! blocus si 1. ... Rxe4 2. Df3 mat si 1. ... Rç4/e6 2. Df7 mat si 1. ... Rc6 2. Dd6 mat

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

(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. No 8 Georges E. CARPENTER Dubuque Chess Journal, 1873 1. Da6! blocus si 1. ... Rf3 2. De2 mat si 1. ... Rxd5 2. Dç6 mat si 1. ... Rxf5 2. Dg6 mat (5+2) Mat en 2 coups No 9 Fred LAZARD Bulletin Fédération Française d'échecs, 1926 1. Dh7! menace 2. g8 (D) mat si 1. ... Rd7/f7 2. g8 (D) mat si 1. ... Rxe8 2. g8 (D ou T) mat si1. ... Rxe6 2. g8=(D ou F) mat 6+1 Mat en 2 coups

Si on le compare au problème no 9, 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. No 10 S. LIBERALI Nueva Rivista degli Schacchi 1881 2e prix 1.Cf6!! RxCf6 2.Dg7 mat si 1…RxCd4 2.Dd5 mat si 1…Rd6 2.De7 mat si 1…Rf4 2.Dc7 mat (ou Db8) 6+1 Mat en 2 coups

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 .

Ces deux premiers problèmes illustrent des idées esthétiques 4+2 Mat en 2 coups associées au tableau de mat. C'est à dire une recherche d'une forme particulière de qualité, soit d'économie (nombre de pièces), soit de relation entre les pièces dans la position finale (disposition, distance…). No 12 A.

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". 12a 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 celle sur laquelle il se trouve, ne sont 3+4 Mate en deux coups 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.

Dans le problème 12b, l'auteur a tenté d'illustrer une souspromotion 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. 12b Marc BENOIT Original

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

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 seule consolation, c'est qu'il y a une 5+2 Mat en 2 coups 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

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 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.

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 Linn News 1859 Jeu apparent : 1. ... Rxe8 [a] 2. De7 [A] mat Clé : 1. Dg4! blocus si 1. ... Fg7 2. De6 mat 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.

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 Series" (1905 - 1929) : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

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.

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

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 No 17 : 1…Ta1+ 2.Dxa1 mat No 18 : 1...Dxe4+ No 19 : 1…Th4+ No 20 : 1…Txb6+

Après la clé 1…Ta1+ 2.Ta2 mat 1. Dxc4+ 1…Th4+ 1…Txb6+

2.Pxc4 mat 2. Pg4 mat 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 :

(6+5) mat en 2 coups

No 20a Erich E. ZEPLER Die Schwalbe, 1928 1. Cf7! blocus si 1. ... c4 2. Dd6 mat si 1. ... Td4/b4/a4 2. Cé7 mat si 1. ... Tc4 2. Dd6, Ce7 mat si 1. ... Té5/e6/e8 2. Cxf4 mat si1. ... Te4~ 2. Cxé7/xf4 mat

Notez qu'il n'est pas nécessaire que les 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. 5+5 Mat en 2 coups

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 Die Schwalbe, 1974 1. Fg4! Menace 2. Df3 mat si 1. ... Ff5 2. Dxf5 mat si 1. ... d3 2. De5, Ff3 mat si 1. ... Rd3 2. Dxg6 mat si 1. ... Rd5 2. Dé6 mat 5+2 Mat en 2 coups* No 23 Marc BENOIT The Problemist, 1975 Clé : 1. Da6 [B] ! blocus si 1. ... Fc8~ 2.

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 1. ... Fc8~ 2. Dxb7# 1. ... axb6 2. Ta1# 1. ... a5 [a] 2. Dxa5 [A] # Mais 1. ... a6!

Clé : 1. Da6 [B] ! blocus 1. ... Fc8~ 2. Dxb7# 1. ... bxa6 2. Tb8# 1. ... b6/b5 2. Dxç8#

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

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.

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?

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). 4. Encore un mat économique.

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

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. 4+3 Mat en 2 coups

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)

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'estce 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 : simplicité pour une humble initiation.

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 Ottavio STOCCHI Bulletin Ouvrier des Échecs, 1949 a) diagramme 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.

Et maintenant, deux quadruplets, du Dr Speckman d'Allemagne, surement le Roi blanc des compositions miniatures : No 30 Werner SPECKMANN Kristal 1985 a) Diagramme b) PBc6->b6 c) PBc6->b5 d) PBc6->e5

I n i t i a t i o n

réalisé en déplaçant le Pion Blanc en c6 successivement sur trois cases 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) b)

Diagramme; 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. No 32

Dans le No 32a, le jumeau est créé cette fois en faisant faire une rotation de 90 degrés à l'échiquier. Ce genre de déplacement affecte habituellement le rôle des pions dans la position.

CHAPITRE XIII L'ORIGINALITÉ No 34 Nil G.G.van DIJK "E.W.W.W. 1948 Clé : 1. Fd1! Si 1. ... Fg2 2. Te1 mat si 1. ... Fxf1 2. T5f3 mat si 1. ... Fg4 2. Te5 mat si 1. ... Fxf5 2. T1f3 mat

Malheureusement, beaucoup de problèmes publiés n'auraient jamais 5+2 Mat en 2 coups 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

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. No 35 Wouter J.G. MEES Probleemblad, 1959 1.d8(T)! Menace 2.8 (D) si 1…Rxe7 2.f8D mat 6+1 Mat en 2 coups

n'est la sous-promotion du coup clé et que le deuxième coup est aussi une promotion. Il faut toutefois noter que du choix de la promotion des deux pions en Dame ou en pièce mineure une seule sous-promotion constitue la clé. No 36 Eduard MAZEL Wiener Schachzeitung, 1902

Le seul petit mérite de ce problème est le mat changé. Avant la clé : 1....C~ 2.Txe6 mat et après la clé 1....C~ 2.Dd5. Nous avons rencontré des problèmes définitivement plus insignifiants. 4+3 Mat en 2 coups

On voit par ces trois exemples que souvent on publie des problèmes qui n'en sont peut-être pas et dont le jeu n'offre peu ou pas d'intérêt. Pour

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. Alain J Godbout Novembre 2000

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES

Présentation de l’édition électronique

traduction du texte et l’adaptation des deux poèmes qui accompagnent deux des problèmes.

L’intérêt de cet ouvrage tient au fait qu’il constitue un excellent exemple de la composition de la vieille école anglaise. Les problèmes y sont relativement légers en matériel et les solutions préesntent une diversité de mouvements qui illustrent bien la recherche esthétique de l’époque.

Les solutions proposées sont plus élaborées que celles publiées par l’auteur à l’époque. Il était de coutume, du moins pour les problèmes en deux coups, de se limiter à donner le clé. Nous avons pris la liberté d’y ajouter les variantes pour permettre au lecteur de profiter plus pleinement de l’art de l’auteur. Les problèmes ont été vérifies en utilisant le logiciel Problémiste de Mathieu Leschemelle et Alybadix de Ilkka Blom. Bien que peu probable, il demeure possible que des positions ou des solutions soient erronées. Elles auront malheureusement échappé au contrôle dont nous disposions.

Entre 1870 et 1880, J. Paul Taylor a publié de nombreuses compositions en 2 coups dans les revues et les journaux de langue anglaise. On retrouve ses compositions en Angleterre, en Australie et dans les quotidiens américains. J.-Paul Taylor est un auteur qui jouissait d’une grande réputation et d’une profonde admiration de la part des chroniqueurs de l’époque.

En vous souhaitant de profiter de cette édition désormais versée au domaine public.

Cette édition a été réalisée à partir de l’édition originale en langue anglaise publiée par l’auteur en 1881. Nous devons à Alain Godbout la

Préface

E

Comme nous souhaitons que ce livre soit particulièrement utile aux débutants, certaines des solutions sont données avec plus de détails qu’à l’habitude; car il se produit des occasions où le déroulement du jeu après la clé est plus intriguant que le premier coup.

n petit ouvrage ne devrait pas commander de longues excuses. Qu’il soit suffisant de dire que l'accueil réservé un peu partout à mes problèmes en deux coups m’a incité à offrir cette humble collection au public.

Après en avoir dit autant, je laisse cet ouvrage au public et à la critique; et je souhaite qu’il soit reçu tout aussi bien que son prédécesseur «Chess Chips», (maintenant épuisé) qui avait été traité par la revue avec une gentillesse et une candeur que nous nous devons de gracieusement reconnaître.

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES qu’on doit à Punch, avec plus de concision que de courtoisie, j’amplifierais la maxime ainsi: - Ne tentez pas de composer si vous n'avez pas un amour de l’art et une détermination de chercher à y atteindre l’excellence.

Conseils aux jeunes auteurs au sujet de la construction de problèmes en deux-coups

En présumant des un goût naturel pour cette quête, nous devons d’abord considérer quel est l'objet de la composition d’un problème; par la suite, quels sont les meilleurs moyens de le réaliser. L’objectif premier nous apparaît être de plaire au solutionniste; et, pour y arriver, la nouveauté et la beauté devraient être recherchées autant que la difficulté, car, à quelques exceptions près, les solutionnistes aiment le défi, mais l’esthétique de la solution, lorsque découverte, demeure la source principale de leur plaisir. Pour l’auteur, la joie ressentie par l’artiste qui exerce son pouvoir ( comme le Rev. Cyril Pearson le faisait remarquer

l est possible que le meilleur conseil qu’on puisse donner à une personne qui désire composer serait - «ne le faites pas»; mais comme cela serait inconsistant avec notre propre pratique, et de plus, avec tout le respect c5 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES en introduction à sa collection) demeure une compensation adéquate et suffisante.

Grimshaw, les frères Pierce, Finlinson, Pearson, Andrews. Callander, Howard Taylor, Abbott, Coates, Slater et autres de notre contrée; et Bayer, Valle, Chocholous et autres parmi les compositeurs européens.

Le désir bien naturel d’une critique favorable peut aussi exercer son influence; mais ce but peut être mieux réalisé en étant subordonné à l’intention première.

Ceci devrait servir à deux fins. Vous prendrez des leçons de construction; et, ces compositions vous illustreront les idées qui ont déjà été travaillées, et ainsi vous épargner un labeur inutile.

La caractéristique essentielle d’un bon problème demeure qu’il doit présenter un certain degré de nouveauté. A l’occasion les idées viendront spontanément; dans l’autres, elles évoluent d’elles-mêmes à partir de positions rencontrés au cours de parties; et, encore plus fréquemment, elles sont suggérées en étudiant et en cherchant la solution de problèmes composés par d’autres auteurs.

Lorsque vous aurez suivi ces suggestions d’ordre général, vous serez prêts à tenter la construction d’un problème avec quelques chances de succès. Placez d’abord sur l’échiquier les pièces qui sont absolument essentielles à l’idée tout en faisant le meilleur usage possible du Roi blanc.Vous allez probablement alors réaliser que le mat peut être donné, non seulement selon votre intention, mais aussi de diverses manières dans le même nombre de coups.

Avant de composer, il est souhaitable de prendre en considération le travail des meilleurs compositeurs de deux coups comme Loyd, Charpenter et Gilbert en Amérique; Healey, c6 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES Si c’est le cas, essayez de prévenir ces mats avec le minimum de matériel possible, en prenant soin de ne pas empêcher le mat recherché. Si vous parvenez à ce résultat, le problème est complet, bien que probablement encore loin de la perfection. A ce point-ci dans votre travail, on vous recommande de mettre l’ouvrage de côté, sinon plus tôt, car une attention soutenue n’est pas aussi efficace que la dépense de la même énergie répartie en deux ou trois sessions.

position alors que les même effets peuvent être obtenus de manière plus élégante. Ayant illustré votre idée dans ce que vous considérez être la meilleur forme, mettez-la de côté encore pour un certain temps, et, à la prochaine occasion, tentez de la résoudre d’une manière qui diffère de votre intention originale; en d’autre termes, essayez de trouver la démolition. Si elle vous apparaît parfaitement saine, vous devriez alors rechercher l’avis d’un compositeur d’expérience quant à son mérite et sa justesse, car l’expérience de praticiens aguerris prouve que bien peu d’auteurs peuvent assurer la validation de leurs propres problèmes.

De retour sur la position après un intervalle de quelques heures ou encore mieux, quelques jours, vous observerez probablement des imperfections non décelés auparavant. Ne les corrigez pas en toute hâte; recherchez plutôt des altérations qui sont de nature à induire la beauté du problème plutôt que de vous en détourner. Vous pouvez y arriver, un investissant un peu plus de temps et de patience et non pas en ajoutent paresseusement un pion ou en alourdissant la

Si le problème survit au test, il peut alors être soumis à l’éditeur d’une chronique d’échecs, vous ne devriez pas vous surprendre qu’il s’avère encore à être défectueux. Même avec toutes les précautions d’usage, c’est ce qui arrive même aux meilleurs compositeurs. c7 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES L’évolution d’un problème a maintenant été retracée de sa conception originale jusqu’à son apparence dans sa forme finale, toutefois, plusieurs imprévus sont susceptibles de se présenter en cours de route. Dans certains cas, vous allez réaliser que votre intention première est presque disparue - quelle a été éclipsée par une autre idée qui a été accidentellement greffée à la position, peut-être pour éviter la démolition, ou pour une autre raison secondaire. Si votre idée dérivée est meilleure que l’idée originale, n’hésitez pas à l’adopter, bien que cela puisse nécessiter une reconstruction complète; mais si vous pouvez combiner les deux idées sans porter préjudice à l’une ou à l’autre, tant mieux.

l’échiquier ou encore de le faire pivoter sur la droite ou sur la gauche.

Quelques fois, en tentant de conserver intacte l’idée, vous réaliserez qu’il est nécessaire de changer la position dans une mesure qui vous fera apparaître la position comme étant complètement différente. Pour parvenir à éliminer les défauts, il vous sera nécessaire de renverser

Cette deuxième classes peut être subdivisée en deux sections -

E Les problèmes en deux coups peuvent être répartis en deux classes: premièrement - les problèmes d’attaque, c’est à dire, ceux dont le premier coup menace le mat. deuxièmement - les positions bloquées, c’est à dire, ceux où la clé n’induirait pas le mat si les noirs n’étaient pas dans l’obligation de jouer.

(a) les blocus incomplets, c’est à dire ceux dans lesquels le premier coup est utile, bien que cette c8 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES utilité ne devienne évidente qu’après que les noirs n’aient joué.

première classe pendant plusieurs heures avec un problème en quatre coups dans lequel la promotion d’un pion en Cavalier sur le coup final représentait la principale difficulté.

(b) les blocus incomplets, aussi appelés problèmes d’attente. - Dans ces problèmes, le coup est, en soi, complètement inutile, mais c’est le seul qui peut être fait sans nuire aux mats recherchés qui suivent les répliques des Noirs. Le No.27 ci-contre peut être considéré comme un bon exemple de problèmes de la première classe et les Nos. 2 et 16 des autres types.

Il arrive à l’occasion que, en réponse à un coup possible de la défenses, il y ait plus d’un mat possible. Ces cas sont appelés des duals, et les avis sont partagés quant à la mesure où ils affectent le mérite d’un problème. Sans vouloir mettre un terme à cette question vexatoire, il nous apparaît suffisant de dire que la plupart des compositeurs de l’école Anglaise considèrent qu’il est souhaitable d’éliminer dans la mesure du possible tout dual, dans la mesure où leur élimination peut être réalisée sans compromettre l’idée principale et sans surcharger la position avec des pièces ou des pions. Toutefois, l’addition d’une pièce supplémentaire guérira à l’occasion un problème de duals graves, et augmentera la difficulté d’un problème par le

Il est possible de faire encore une autre subdivision, soit - pour les cas où un pion est promu au premier ou au deuxième coup, ou dans chacun, mais ce type est, par nature, très restreint. Les Nos. 4, 5, 19 et 48 ainsi que le No. 1 des trois-coups peuvent être considérés combes des instances d’un tel type. On attribue à Calvi l’introduction d’un tel mécanisme, et d’avoir confondu des joueurs de c9 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES fait même; dans ces conditions, l’emploi d’une force additionnelle est considéré comme permise.

les avantages de la mesure sont supérieurs aux inconvénients. Il n’y a pas de règle objective qui soit proposée.

Les mats doublés, par deux ou plusieurs pièces, sont considérés comme plus dommageables à la qualité d’un problème que ceux occasionnés par une même pièce se déplaçant sur deux cases différentes.

Le moyen par lequel le mouvement du Roi noir doit être contrôlé est un autre point qui doit retenir notre attention; ici il est possible d’être plus affirmatif.

On considère généralement que les duals ont plus d’importance dans les problèmes à blocus que dans les problèmes à menace. A cet effet, considérez le No. 47, dans lequel deux des coups possibles du Cavalier noir en b3 peuvent conduire à des choix de mats.

Si la nature de votre idée le permet, par tous les moyens, donnez au Roi deux ou trois cases de liberté de mouvement; et si possible, laissez le premier coup donner une liberté additionnelle. A titre d’illustration, voyez les Nos. 1, 5 et 36. Comme exemple d’addition de liberté on peut ajouter le No. 7 où six cases de fuite sont concédées au Roi noir avant et après le premier coup. On doit aussi prendre soin de ne pas user de force superflue dans l’exécution du mat. Si possible, laissez chaque case adjacente au Roi noir être bloquée ou gardée par une seule pièce. Si

Le No.9 au contraire, parce qu’il est un blocus, est plus affecté par la présence d’un dual, de plus, la question demeure entière quant à la pertinence de l’éliminer. L’approche qui nous apparaît la meilleure et de considérer les problèmes séparément, et d’éliminer les duals seulement si c 10 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES ce résultat est atteint, le mat est alors considéré comme parfaitement pur.

efficace parce que la Dame Blanche occupe la case sur laquelle le Cavalier blanc pourrait donner le mat. Le déplacement du Pion en c2 pourrait aussi démolir car la Dame blanche ne peut plus atteindre la case 1a pour donner le mat, ce qui demeure possible si elle est en a6.

Il arrive fréquemment qu’une case soit obstruée par une pièce noire au lieu d’être gardée; dans la mesure du possible, il faut tenter d’éviter que les cases soient à la fois gardées et obstruées.

Ce qui m’amène à souligner à cet égard que l’Athenaeum Reviewer (1er avril 1876) affirmait que la solution Da6 était «de toute évidence une erreur d’impression de 1. Dc6»... et une reconnaissance qu’un joueur de premier ordre était lui aussi tombé dans le piège.

Le No. 25 est un bon exemple de pureté, bien qu’il ne soit pas parfait; on doit se rappeler que si une des positions de mat est pure, l’idée demeure encore applicable. Efforcez-vous à chaque occasion de laisser les fausses attaques en évidence, elles améliorent la difficulté d’un problème.

Ne laissez par un problème en deux coups débuter par la capture d’une pièce ou par un échec, car un tel défaut ne saurait être pardonné par quelque mérite extraordinaire dans les autres aspects.

Le No. 3 est un exemple à cet égard. Ce problème serait facile si la Dame en c6 n’était pas la réponse claire; après ce coup, les mêmes mats que ceux de la solution réelle se retrouvent sur les mêmes défenses des Noirs; après examen, on s’aperçoit que le déplacement du pion b réussit à être c 11 c

PROBLÈMES D’ÉCHECS ÉLÉMENTAIRES En conclusion, lorsque vous débutez en composition, ne laissez pas les revers vous décourager. A cet égard vous serez comblé. Lorsque votre nom sera connu, évitez alors l’erreur de laisser la demande pour vos compositions vous induire à des compositions hâtives et indifférenciées. Cela aura été la cause de la chute de plus d’un auteur des hauteurs encore plus grandes que celles des échecs.

Solution

Quiconque fait le paon dans les circonstances Est bien capable d’autres impénitences. Mais encore une chance je vous accorde. Que prévale le bon Et votre impertinence appellera mon pardon Si vous tombez ce sera sans conséquences.

«L’espoir abandonné» No. 46. Le Roi noir regarda autour et remarqua comment Nos rangs étaient décimés et brisés, et que désormais Le prix ne valait pas nos minces succès; Il déclara, «La bataille est perdue, abandonnons sur le champ!» «Mais pas le Chevalier!» de rétorquer la brave monture «Mon étalon di non, et la jour a encore un futur». Alors le Roi se retourna et dit d’un air sévère: «Vous plaisantez, sire Chevalier, il vous en coûtera la tête. Lancez votre monture - je vous accorde cette chance

Le cavalier s’élança sans égard pour sa vie; Il enfourcha monture et engagea l’action; Il parvint au point où, par sa brave intention A mépris de six morts il trouva un sursis. Car si l’ennemi pouvait le terrasser Au sort d’un vassal, son roi abandonnait Et si le roi lui-même la fin considérait, La danse d’un fou venait le contrer. Si on pouvait, au cavalier épargner la mort, Et de son courroux le souverain protéger, Encore devaient ils échouer face au clergé Dont le glaive de gauche à droite en scellait le sort

Mais comme il sonnait l’échec La Reine l’arrêta aussi sec Et récompensant sa vaillance Lance au roi maudit son ennemi Un message qui était aussi un cri «Tu es perdu au mat!» «Combien vrai» dit le souverain, en rage Et si mes troupes avaient été sages Et non pas des parias Un gentil cavalier aurait-il dans son sang Par une démarche digne de son rang Allongé le combat. «Nenni» de dire la Dame «Quelle que soit le fil ou la trame D’une des six morts tu périras!» Dans un soupir expira le Roi : «La vérité que celà Et si je persiste dans la résistance Je n’ai de place pour ma prestance Oh terrible constat! A mon ennemi la victoire je concède Sa bravoure aura causé ma perte

No. 47. Combien menu le pouvoir des Rois Au échecs, choses dépourvues ! Il «tronent» maid ne reignent pas; Combien alors il serait mal vu Qu’un Roi d’échecs ne soit tenté De bravement «passer ou crever» Alors que son épouse ici-bas Puisse se révéler l’atout du combat. Ainsi se dit le Roi, et se détourna Car bien qu’il en ressentit un désir De combat, il dut aussi pressentir La retraite que la sagesse amena Laissant à sa gentille compagne La case pour mener campagne. Ainsi décida le Roi La retraite pour moi. Prèt pour l’assaut, brandissant sa lance Voyez la menace noire qui s’avance Combien longe fut son attente c 43 c

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.

by

W. Lewis teacher of chess

[ 1827 ]

An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · Preliminary edition

PREFACE Ends of Games or Positions won or drawn by masterly moves, have always been considered by the best Chess players and writers as eminently 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 positions, 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 improving. 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 checkmate, 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. W. LEWIS 76, St. Martin’s-lane, May 1827.

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 solutions: 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-increasing body of chess lovers both at home and abroad, I have been actuated 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 confined 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, Blumenthal’s “Schachminiaturen,” which, admirable as it is, is virtually closed to the ordinary solver on account of difficulties of the language. 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 commence 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 examples. A word as to the general arrangement of the book. As all the problems are direct mates in three moves, it has not been necessary 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. 3

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 also due to the gentlemen who undertook examination of problems—Mr. W. Geary, Mr. W. Marks, Mr. W. R. Todd and Mr. A. Neave Brayshaw; to Mr. I. M. Brown for his cordial support and researches; to Dr. Schumer and Mr. A. Briais for translation work; to Mr. P. H. Williams, Mr. W. H. Thompson, Mr. W. Moffatt, and others for help in various ways. I can only say in conclusion that I hope this little book may fill a useful purpose in the chess world, and bring pleasure and instruction alike to the solver and the composer. That there are still untrodden paths in problem composing, and unseen beauties yet to present to the lovers of our fascinating game must be evident to all chess students, and if the perusal of this little work gives as much pleasure as it did to me in its preparation I shall feel that the effort has not been in vain.

INTRODUCTION BY PHILIP H. WILLIAMS, F.C.A.

In introducing this unique collection of three-movers which Mr. Wallis has gathered together in such profusion, I should like to draw attention to the wonders of chess construction, its endless variety, and its charming ramifications. Here we have a huge set of problems in three moves, in none of which there are more than seven men, kings included. With such limitations it might be well imagined that many positions would bear so close a resemblance as to be almost duplicates of one another. A glance through the pages that follow will show that, on the contrary, despite the stringent conditions, variety, beauty and difficulty are to be found. It is to be wondered how it is possible to produce such a number of little three-movers, each of which stands by itself—a complete work of art. To the expert problem enthusiast, I would say that herein are to be found many old favourites, without which no such collection 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 science 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 solu5

tions differ completely, and the variety of mating positions will be found to be astonishingly large. The peculiar subtlety of Black’s defences (despite his poor resources), and the extreme nicety of attack necessary for White (despite his apparent overwhelming strength), are points worthy of careful scrutiny. The player, accustomed as he is to analyse positions where the opponent’s resources are approximately evenly balanced, will at first find his true sportsmanlike instincts offended by the relative weight of the two sides. indeed unfavourable criticism would be justified if the play were of a heavy, smashing character. The positions would in that case have no interest whatever. But careful study will soon show him that the result is almost always accomplished by finesse, by surprising sacrifice and by exactitude. This consideration accounts for the fact that the keen player, to whom problems in general are a sealed book, finds such positions so irritatingly difficult to master. Enough for him that “White wins;” the fact that a beautiful mate in three is possible does not seem to interest him. But if the standard set up by continual study of games is for once set aside as being beside the point, the situations to be found in this collection in such profusion stand forth in all their delicacy. In almost all the positions here quoted, the following characteristics are to be found: (1) the surprising initial moves necessary to accomplish mate in three; a casual glance would seem to show that almost any forcible check or capture would suffice; (2) the fact that almost any move of Black, taken haphazard, will be found to require the utmost accuracy to meet successfully; (3) the almost invariable economy and beauty of the final positions; (4) the absence of any power on Black’s part to make any serious threat: since any move of the black forces must infallibly lose; but, bearing 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 lovingly 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,

perhaps, the pioneer of the “miniature.” There are many other composers of our own country who have produced such works, but few seem to have actually specialised in this particular branch of the art. Amongst foreign and colonial authors maybe mentioned Galitzky, Loyd, Shinkman, Wurzburg, Bayersdorfer and Kohtz and Kockelkorn, all of whom have been prolific in compositions of this nature. The question of difficulty— from the solver’s point of view—is not easy to deal with. Some skilled solvers say that these problems are very hard, owing to the liberal amount of elbow-room which is almost invariably found. Others, again, say that they are easy, owing to the very fact that there are but few pieces to mislead. Naturally if there are, at the most, but six white men which can possibly make the initial move, the task of exhaustive analysis is less than if there were a larger number. Yet one must remember that the smaller the number of men, the larger the number of vacant squares to which to move them; so paradoxically enough, the slender materials employed not infrequently lead the solver astray. With more massive problems, the idea, or part of it, is often seen almost at once, thereby affording valuable clues to the whole conception. In conclusion, I can only say that the marvellous resources of chess, its infinite variety, its subtlety, and its grace can have no better example than this collection affords—typifying as it does but a small branch of the fascinations of problem science. That beauty, difficulty, and strategy can be produced with the most slender materials should be apparent to all lovers of Chess Problems.

En introduisant cette unique collection de problèmes en trois coups, que Mons. Wallis, a réunis en si grande profusion, je me permettrais d’attirer l’attention sur les merveilles de la construction de problèmes d’échecs, sa variété infinie et ses ramifications charmantes. On trouvera ici un grand nombre de problèmes en trois coups, dont aucun n’a plus de sept pièces, y compris le roi. On pourrait s’imaginer qu’avec de telles restrictions, un nombre assez grand de ces positions se ressemblent suffisamment pour être presque le double l’une de l’autre. Mais si l’on jette rapidement les yeux sur les pages qui suivent, on verra, au contraire, qu’en dépit de ces restrictions forcées, on y trouve de la variété, de la beauté et de la difficulté. C’est à se demander comment il est possible de produire une si grande quantité de petits problèmes en trois coups, chacun desquels occupe sa place à part, tout en étant “un ouvrage essentiellement artistique.” En m’adressant aux enthousiastes émérites de problèmes d’échecs, je ferais remarquer qu ’on trouve ici un grand nombre d’anciens problèmes favoris, sans lesquels aucune collection ne saurait être complète, mais que d’autre part, on y rencontre aussi beaucoup de compositions peu connues. On doit féliciter Mr. Wallis du succès qu’il a obtenu, par ses efforts incessants et par sa persévérance. Aux lecteurs, en général, j’indiquerais que, malgré tous les arguments contraires, il est possible de faire preuve de stratégie merveilleuse en dépit de forces écrasantes pour l’attaque. Si l’on ignorait de telles positions, à cause de la disparité des matériaux, on laisserait de côté, quelques-unes des sections les plus intéressantes des échecs. La collection toute entière, indique clairement l’existence d’une branche du jeu d’échecs qui mérite une investigation tout aussi approfondie qu’une fin de partie ordi-

naire, les diverses méthodes de la commencer, ou tout ce qui dépend du jeu d’échecs proprement dit. Les positions montrent aussi une subdivision très distincte de l’art de composer un problème. Bien entendu, beaucoup des problèmes que l’on trouvera ici, se ressemblent fortement, mais, chez la plupart d’entre eux, cette ressemblance n’est que superficielle, puisque les solutions correctes diffèrent absolument l’une de l’autre; et l’on s’étonnera de trouver, dans les positions de “mat,” une plus grande variété qu’on ne l’aurait supposé. La subtilité particulière des méthodes de défense des “noirs” (malgré le peu de ressources à leur disposition), et l’extrême habileté dans l’attaque que les “blancs” doivent employer (en dépit de leur écrasante supériorité apparente) sont des points qui valent la peine d’être soigneusement examinés. Tout d’abord, le joueur d’échecs qui a l’habitude d’analyser des positions où les forces des adversaires sont approximativement égales, se sentira probablement froissé dans ses idées de “sportsman” par les forces relatives des antagonistes. Si, en effet, les variations des problèmes étaient lourdes on écrasantes, il ne serait que juste de les critiquer d’une manière défavorable. Mais, en les étudiant soigneusement, on verra bientôt que l’auteur arrive à son but, avec habileté, an moyen de sacrifices surprenants et par beaucoup de justesse. C’est cette considération qui fait que le joueur, passionné, lequel, ordinairement, ne s’occupe pas de problèmes, trouve de telles positions, difficiles et ennuyeuses à résoudre. Il lui suffit de savoir que les “blancs” gagnent; il ne semble guère attacher d’intérêt à découvrir une belle combinaison de “mat” en trois coups. Mais, si l’on met de côté, le modèle établi par une étude constante de parties d’échecs, les situations qui foisonnent dans cette collection, se font remarquer, par leur admirable délicatesse. Dans presque toutes les positions reproduites ici, on distingue les traits caractéristiques suivants: (1) Les premiers coups surprenants qu’il faut jouer pour arriver à faire mat en trois coups; au premier abord, il semble presque, que n’importe quelle capture on n’importe quel “échec au roi” doive suffire; (2) le fait, que pour chaque coup des “noirs,” pris au hasard, auquel on doit répondre, la plus grande justesse est nécessaire; (3) l’économie et la beauté qui s’aperçoivent souvent dans la position finale; (4) l’ab-

PRÉFACE PAR PHILIP E. WILLIAMS, F.C.A.

sence d’aucun pouvoir de la part des “noirs” de menacer sérieusement l’adversaire: car chaque coup des “noirs” doit infailliblement “amener leur défaite”; mais, si l’on se rappelle que le but, dans tous les cas, est de “faire mat en trois coups,” il est extrêmement intéressant de découvrir que ceci ne peut s’accomplir que “par un cheveu” bien que les forces de l’attaque, paraissent écrasantes, au premier abord. De telles considérations montrent clairement que ces “problèmes 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 semblent 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, Bayersdorfer et Kohtz & Kockelkorn, chacun desquels s’est montré prolifique 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 premier 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 merveilleuses du jeu d’échecs, la variété infinie qu’on y trouve, sa sub-

tilité et son élégance, ne sauraient être mieux démontrées que par cette collection de problèmes,—n’indiquant qu’une petite partie des fascinations de l’art de composer des problèmes. Tout admirateur et enthousiaste de problèmes d’échecs s’apercevra facilement qu’il est facile d’obtenir de la beauté, de la variété et de faire preuve de stratégie dans ces problèmes, même avec une très petite quantitè de matériaux.

Bei der Vorstellung dieser einzig darstehenden Collection von Dreizügern, welche Herr Wallis, in so grosser Fülle gesammelt, den Liebhabern Caissa’s zur Verfügung stellt, möchte ich vor allem die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Wunder der Construction mit ihrer ins Unendliche grenzenden Abwechslung lenken. Vor uns haben wir diese reichliche Fülle von Dreizügern, welche höchstens Siebensteiner sind, die beiden Könige mit eingerechnet. Man müsste glauben, dass bei der Verwendung solch eines geringen Materials die Ähnlichkeit zwischen den einzelnen Positionen unvermeidlich wäre; aber schon ein flüchtiges Durchblättern der Seiten, die folgen, wird uns das Gegenteil lehren. Trotz der lähmenden Bedingungen kann man da reichliche Abwechslung, Schönheit und Schwierigkeit vorfinden. Es ist wirklich zum wundern, dass es möglich war, solch eine grosse Menge von kleinen Dreizügern zu componieren, wo jeder für sich selbst ein vollkommenes Kunstwerk darstellt. Dem Expert-Problem-Enthusiasten würde ich anvertrauen, dass er alle die alten Lieblinge wiederfinden wird, ohne welche eine solche Sammlung unvollständig wäre; ausserdem eine grosse Zahl noch wenig bekannter Compositionen. Herr Wallis verdient für den Erfolg, den er durch unermüdlichen Fleiss und Ausdauer erreicht hat, die aufrichtige Dankbarkeit aller Problem-enthusiasten. Dem Leser im Allgemeinen würde ich, trotz aller Gegenargumente, hervorheben, dass es ungeachtet der Übermacht der angreifenden Truppen möglich ist eine wunderbare Strategie zu entfalten. Solche Positionen auf Grund der Ungleichheit des Materials auszuschalten, heisst eine der feinsten Zweige des Schachspiels zu ignorieren. Die Existenzberechtigung eines solchen Zweiges, der ebenso der Erforschung würdig ist, als die Endspiele,

Eröffnungen und andere Sprösslinge des Schachspiels, bringt uns die ganze Sammlung klar vor Augen. Die Positionen deuten auch mit Entschiedenheit auf eine bestimmte Unterabteilung der Problemconstruction hin. Gewiss wird man in vielen Problemen, die man mit einander vergleicht, eine grosse Familienähnlichkeit finden; aber in einer grossen Majorität ist die Ähnlichkeit nur oberflächlich, die correcte Lösung ist ganz verschieden, und die Mannigfaltigkeit der Matpositionen ist erstaunend gross. Besonderer Aufmerksamkeit würdig sind die Feinheiten der Verteidigung des Schwarzen, (trotz der Armut an Mitteln), und die ausserordentliche Schönheit des Angriffes des Weissen, (trotz der augenscheinlichen Übermacht). Der Spieler, der gewohnt ist Positionen zu analysieren, wo die Mittel der Gegner sich annähernd Gleichgewicht halten, wird vielleicht anfangs seine Sportsmans-Gefühle, durch das relative Gewicht der beiden Seiten, beleidigt finden. Gewiss würde eine ungünstige Kritik gerechtfertigt sein, wenn die Matsetzung einen schweren, zermalmenden Character hätte. In diesem Falle würden die Positionen nicht das geringste Interesse haben. Aber ein sorgsames Studium derselben wird bald lehren, dass das Resultat beinahe immer durch Finesse, überraschende Opfer und Exactheit zustande gebracht wird. Diese Eigenschaften sind auch die Ursache, dass ein eifriger Schachspieler, für welchen die Probleme im Allgemeinen ein versiegeltes Buch sind, solche Positionen so reizbar schwierig zu meistern findet. Für den ist es hinreichend, dass “Weiss gewinnen muss”; die Thatsache, dass ein wunderhübsches Mat in drei Zügen möglich ist, scheint ihn gar nicht zu interessieren. Wenn aber einmal dieser Standpunkt der Partie beiseite geschoben wurde, da werden die Positionen, die so reichlich hier vorzufinden sind, in ihrer ganzen Schönheit erscheinen. Beinahe alle Positionen, die hier angeführt sind, haben folgende Eigenschaften gemein:—(1) Die überraschenden Anfangszüge, welche notwendig sind um die Aufgabe in drei Zügen zu meistern; auf den ersten Blick würde es scheinen, als ob irgend ein Schachangebot oder das Schlagen einer Figur genügend wäre; (2) Die Thatsache, dass beinahe jeder Zug des Schwarzen die peinlichste Accuratesse erfordert, um mit Erfolg pariert zu werden; (3) Die beinahe durchwegs zu findende Economie und Schönheit der

Matpositionen; (4) Die Abwesenheit jeder Macht, beim Schwarzen, eine ernste Drohung zu vollführen, da jeder Zug der schwarzen Truppen unbedingt verlieren muss; aber wen man bedenkt, 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 “Schachminiaturen” grosse Gewandtheit, Erfahrung und Fleiss des Componisten erfordern. Unter den englischen Autoren war John Brown, allgemein bekannt als “J. B. von Bridport,” einer der ältesten Meister, der solche reizende Compositionen zustande brachte. Er ist vielleicht der Pionier der “Schachminiatur.” Es giebt auch mehrere andere englische Componisten, die solche Werke geschaffen haben, aber wenige scheinen sich in diesem Zweige der Problemkunst thatsächlich spezialisiert zu haben. Von den Autoren anderer Länder möchte ich erwähnen Galitzky, Loyd, Shinkman, Wurzburg, Bayersdorfer und Kohtz und Kockelkorn, welche zum Bereichern 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 wären, weil es wenige Figuren giebt, die irre führen könnten. Natürlich, wenn höchstens sechs Steine den ersten Zug machen können, so ist die Aufgabe einer erschöpflichen Analyse viel leichter, 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 ziehen können. Deshalb,—wie paradox es auch klingen mag,—das geringe Material führt den Löser sehr oft irre. In grösseren Problemen kann die Idee oder ein Teil derselben sofort entdeckt werden, wodurch ein wertvoller Leitfaden zur Conception des Ganzen gegeben wird. Zum Schlusse kann ich nur behaupten, dass die wunderbaren Hilfsmittel des Schachspiels, mit ihren unendlichen Variationen, ihrer Feinheit und Anmut, kein besseres Beispiel darbringen können als diese schöne Sammlung, vorstellend, wie sie thut, nur einen kleinen Zweig der Feinheiten der Problemkunst. Dass

Schönheit, Schwierigkeit und Strategie auch mit dem geringsten Materiale erreicht werden kann, sollte allen Problemliebhabern bekannt sein.

A three move chess problem may be described as a position in a game between White and Black in which White, whose turn it is to play, undertakes to force mate on Black in three moves in spite of all that Black can possibly do to prevent it. If White does not succeed in his undertaking he is to he considered as having lost the game, and accordingly Black is willing to make any move, however desperate, or submit to any sacrifice however great, in order to keep his opponent at bay for three moves more. Assuming that, the problem is sound, there is just one particular move, and only one, with which White must begin if he is to carry out his purpose. If he begins with any other, Black will be able to save off defeat beyond the stipulated number of moves. This first move is called the “key-move,” and to it Black has one or more possible replies. Each of these must be examined separately, in turn, by White, and to each he must make the one, and only one, appropriate reply. Black now makes his second move, but, do what he will, White can mate him with his third. A good key-move does not, as a rule, close in upon Black, or restrict or threaten him. Among the problems in this book there is no single instance of the keymove being a check or capture, or involving the promotion of a pawn., If the position be such that Black on his first move can take a white piece or pawn, as in Nos. 11 and 14, the experienced solver hesitates to rescue the threatened man; he first considers what he shall do in case Black carries out his threat, and he endeavours to arrange his key-move accordingly. It may be that White can afford to sacrifice the piece that is in danger; if the black king takes it he may just be moving out of safety on to a square where he can be successfully attacked. Examples of this occur in Nos. 2, 4, and 17, on Black’s second move. When the black king (whether in order to make a capture or not) moves on to a square next to one of his

own men, or one of his own men moves on to a square next to him, the square occupied by that man is, of course, blocked, and any white piece or pawn that is guarding it is now free to move away and conduct the attack elsewhere; among the first twenty problems see Nos. 4, 7, 13, and 18. Whenever a black piece or pawn moves (whether in order to make a capture or not) notice what squares it is leaving unguarded, it may he that a white man is intended sooner or later to occupy one of them. (Whenever a knight or pawn moves it never commands the same squares as it did before the move.) Also notice whether such move on the part of Black, by getting his man out of the way, opens up a road for the movement or action of a white piece (see No. 9); It sometimes happens that Black, in his attempt to protect himself, or to attack, blocks the action of one of his own men and so gives White an advantage. This, however, rarely occurs in a miniature where Black has seldom any pieces to be blocked. As a general principle White does not hasten to save himself from threatened danger, but first of all considers whether he cannot so arrange matters that Black, by carrying out his threat, puts himself into a trap. Be on the watch for discovered checks—among the first twenty problems these occur in Nos. 1, 5, 6, and 11. Concerning the man which moves away notice that there is just one particular square on which he must be placed; he does more than simply get out of the, way, he goes somewhere where he himself is indispensable. If one of the squares next. to the black king be doubly guarded, this fact raises a presumption (nothing more) that one of the white men so guarding it is intended to move at some stage of the proceedings. Notice that when a knight checks the king it also guards one of the squares diagonally next to the king. Do not forget the possibility of the white king moving; among the first twenty problems five key-moves, Nos. 6, 7, 8, 13, and 20, are made with him; this, however, is a most unusually high proportion. Sometimes he makes the second move (11, 14) even when he has already made the first (8 and 20), and sometimes, even, the third. This last, however, is rare, and, obviously, can only occur when he is moving away to make a discovered check (see No. 6). The fact of the white king or a white pawn standing at a distance from the black king suggests that the latter is intended to move towards the former. If, therefore, the road in that direction be already

open it is well not to begin by blocking it. (See Nos. 3, 12, 14, 15, 17.) If it is closed the solver may consider the advisability of opening up a way (see Nos. 1, 9, 16, 18, 19). In fact it may be laid down as a general principle which has numerous exceptions (see No. 2), that the black king moves towards a distant white king or pawn. Among the first twenty problems in two instances, Nos. 6 and 20, it is the distant white king that begins by moving up towards the black one, a closing-in action which is undoubtedly a slight blemish on what are otherwise excellent problems. When a white pawn is near the end of its journey the possibility of its promotion has to be considered. As already stated this will not take place on the first move. The successful pawn is bound to be exchanged for something, but not neccessarily for a queen. Sometimes a knight must be chosen. More rarely a rook or a bishop is selected if the position is such that they are capable of doing all that is required, whereas the choice of a queen would cause stalemate. The solver must not forget to notice the fact of a white or black man being “pinned,” that is standing in front of his own king, so that he cannot move aside without exposing the king to check. It would be a poor key-move that pinned a black piece or pawn that was otherwise free. The black king must be kept in amongst the hostile forces. If it is allowed to get too far to the edge of their range of action it escapes out into spape, and cannot be captured within the three move limit. Be on the watch for certain well known mating positions, notably the two given on the following diagrams (see next page). In these two positions the white queen stands on a square next to the black king, and is protected from capture, not necessarily by a pawn or a king, as happens to be shown in these two particular cases. In addition the two squares marked A are also guarded, again not necessarily by a knight or bishop, as happens to be shown in the cases in question. It may be that either or both the squares marked A are blocked by black’s own men (see No. 13), of course not by a knight, inasmuch as such knight would, unless pinned, take the white queen. In the former of the two cases, if either of the squares marked B is occupied by a white or black piece or pawn, the action of the queen is cut off from a square marked

C, and, accordingly, care must be taken that the black king is otherwise prevented from going on to that square C. Among the first twenty problems, both these mating positions occur—sometimes more than once—in each of the following: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16. The position of Fig. 1 also occurs in No. 19, and that of Fig. 2 in No. 13. All the white men on the board are of some use in the problem; none are put there merely to distract or mislead the solver. If therefore in a proposed solution it seems that any piece or pawn has never at any stage of the proceedings come in useful, either by moving or by restricting the black king, or by frustrating the action of a black piece or pawn, this fact is evidence either that the proposed solution is wrong, or that the solver has hit upon a second solution, which the composer has overlooked. This rule is subject to the following qualifications: It is not always possible to find a use for the white king, and even in cases where he might be used to do the work of a pawn his presence might lead to a clumsy and inartistic mate. In such instances, inasmuch as he has to be on the board, he is put somewhere out of the way, a passive spectator of the proceedings (see No. 2). Sometimes, however, the white king is not so useless as might at first sight, appear, even though he never does move and never restricts the black king. It may be that, placed where he is, he is preventing a second solution, and the same thing is sometimes true of an apparently useless white pawn. With regard to both king and pawn, however, this passive function is less likely to occur in a miniature than it is in a more complicated position. It sometimes happens that after White has made his key-move,

18

19

there is one reply of Black that permits White to mate at once on his second move. This is called a “short mate,” and is a defect in the problem which may be of greater or less moment according to circumstances. Try to solve the problem from the diagram; it is good practice. Do not, if you cannot find the key-move, come to the conclusion that the problem is impossible of solution. Some of the best solvers in the country have failed over some of these problems.

CONSEILS AU LECTEUR PAR A. NEAVE BRAYSHAW, B.A., LL.B.

On peut considérer un problème en trois coups comme une certaine 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 particulier, 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 lequel 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 solutionniste 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. Il se peut que les Blancs puissent sacrifier la pièce en danger; si 20

21

le roi noir la prend, il quitte peut-être une place où il se trouvait en sûreté pour s’en aller à une autre où il peut être attaqué avec plus de succès. On en verra un exemple dans les Nos. 2, 4 et 17, au second coup des Noirs. Lorsque le roi noir (soit pour opérer une capture ou non) se déplace pour aller sur un carré avoisinant une de ses pièces, ou si l’une de ses pièces vient se placer près de lui, le carré occupé par cette pièce, se trouve, bien entendu, bloqué, et toute pièce blanche qui le défendait auparavant, se trouve maintenant libre de se déplacer et d’aller attaquer autre part; parmi les vingt premiers problèmes, voir les Nos. 4, 7, 13 et 18. Chaque fois qu’une pièce ou qu’un pion noir bouge (soit pour opérer une capture ou non), remarquez le carré qu’elle ou qu’il laisse sans protection, car, peut-être, ce carré pourra-t-il être occupé, tôt ou tard, par une pièce blanche. (Chaque fois qu’un cavalier ou un pion bouge, il ne peut jamais protéger les mêmes carrés qu’auparavant). Remarquez aussi si un coup semblable de la part des noirs, en s’ouvrant un passage, permet de bouger ou de se servir d’une pièce blanche, voir No. 9. Il arrive quelquefois que les Noirs, en essayant de se protéger ou d’attaquer, bloquent l’action d’une de leurs propres pièces et donnent ainsi aux Blancs un certain avantage. Ceci, cependant, se produit rarement dans un problème en miniature, car les Noirs ont rarement des pièces à bloquer. Généralement, les Blancs ne se hâtent pas de se défendre contre un danger possible, mais considèrent d’abord s’il n’est pas possible d’amener les Noirs, en continuant leur attaque, à tomber dans le piège. Prenez garde aux échecs démasqués—parmi les vingt premiers problèmes, cela a lieu dans les Nos. 1, 5, 6 et 11. Au sujet de la pièce à bouger, remarquez qu’il faut la placer sur un certain carré, car, non-seulement laisse-t-elle ouvert un carré pour l’attaque, mais aussi elle doit aller en quelque endroit où elle devient indispensable. Si l’un des carrés près du roi noir se trouve gardé par deux pièces, ce fait semble indiquer (c’est un soupçon, mais rien de plus) que l’une des pièces blanches qui le gardent, doit probablement se mouvoir à un certain moment. Remarquez aussi que, si un cavalier fait échec au roi, il protège en même temps un des carrés en diagonale près du roi. N’oubliez pas qu’il est possible que le roi blanc doive bouger; parmi les vingt premiers problèmes, cinq clefs Nos. 6, 7, 8, 13, et 20 en dépendent, ceci, cependant est une proportion anormale.

Dans ces deux positions, la dame blanche se trouve sur un carré voisin du roi noir, et est protégée, non pas nécessairement par un

22

23

Quelquefois le roi se déplace au second coup (11, 14), même s’il l’a déjà fait au premier (8 et 20) et quelquefois même au troisième. Ce dernier cas, pourtant, est rare, et il est évident que cela ne se produit que lorsqu ’il bouge pour démasquer un échec (voir No. 6). Le fait que le roi blanc ou un de ses pions se trouve à quelque distance du roi noir, suggère que ce dernier doit se mouvoir vers ceux-là. Si, par conséquent, cette direction est déjà libre, il vaut mieux ne pas commencer par la fermer. Voir Nos. 3, 12, 14, 15, 17; si elle se trouve fermée, on peut considérer l’avantage de s’ouvrir un chemin (Voir Nos. 1, 9, 16, 18, 19). En tant que principe général ayant de nombreuses exceptions, (Voir No. 2) on peut dire que le roi noir, se déplace vers un roi ou un pion blanc à quelque distance. Parmi les vingt premiers problèmes, en deux occasions, Nos. 6 et 20, c’est le roi blanc à distance qui commence à se rapprocher du noir, un rapprochement de l’attaque qui est, sans aucun doute, une légère faute dans quelques problèmes, qui, à part cela, sont excellents. Lorsqu’un pion blanc s’approche du dernier carré de sa file, il faut considérer la possibilité de sa promotion. Comme il a été dit plus haut, ceci n’arrive pas au premier coup. Le pion de ce genre doit être échangé pour quelque autre pièce, mais non pas forcément pour une dame. Parfois il faut choisir un cavalier. Plus rarement c’est une tour ou un fou, si la position indique qu’ils puissent rendre les services voulus, tandis que le choix d’une dame amènerait pat. Il ne faut pas oublier le cas d’une pièce blanche ou noire “immobilisée,” c’est à dire placée devant son propre roi, de sorte qu’elle ne peut bouger à côté sans démasquer un échec au roi. Si une clef immobilisait due pièce ou un pion noir, elle serait médiocre. Le roi noir doit être forcé de rester parmi les pièces ennemies. Si on le laisse s’échapper trop loin de leur sphère d’action, il s’échappe sur les carrés libres, et on ne peut faire mat dans les trois coups stipulés. Faites attention à certaines positions, de mat bien connues, par exemple, celles indiquées dans les diagrammes suivants:

cuuuuuuuuC {WDWDWDWD} {DWDWDWDW} {WDWDwHWD} {DWcaDWDW} {WDbiaDWD} {DW!bcWDW} {W)WDWDWD} {DWDWDWDW} vllllllllV

pion ou par le roi, comme il arrive dans ce cas particulier. De plus, les deux carrés marqués A sont aussi couverts, mais non pas nécessairement par un cavalier ou par un fou comme dans les cas en question. Il se peut que l’un des carrés ou peut-être les deux qui sont marqués A se trouvent obstrués par des pièces noires (voir No. 13,) bien entendu, pas par un cavalier car un tel cavalier, à moins d’être immobilisé prendrait la dame blanche. Dans le premier de ces deux cas, si l’un des carrés marqués B est occupé par une pièce de l’une ou l’autre couleur le pouvoir de la reine se trouve arrêté et ne peut s’opérer sur le carré C, et, par suite, on doit empêcher, par une autre pièce, le roi noir de pouvoir se rendre sur ce carré C. Parmi les vingt premiers problèmes, la première de ces deux positions se produit, quelquefois plus d’une fois,—dans chacun des problèmes suivants: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16 et 19. Dans chacun d’eux (sauf le 19) et aussi dans le 13, seconde des deux positions se produit. Toutes les pièces blanches de l’échiquier servent à quelque chose dans le problème, il n ’y en a aucune qui serve à distraire ou tromper le solutionniste. Si donc, dans une solution proposée, il semble qu ’une pièce ou qu ’un pion, n’ait pas servi, à tout moment, soit en se déplaçant ou en restreignant le roi noir, ou en empêchant l’action d’une pièce ou d’un pion noirs, ceci montre, ou que cette solution n’est pas juste, ou qu’il y a une autre solution que le compositeur n’a pas vue. Cette règle est sujette aux qualifications suivantes: il n’est pas toujours possible de trouver à se servir du roi blanc, et même, quelquefois, quand il remplace un pion, sa présence peut rendre le mat lourd et inartistique. Dans de tels 24

cas, puisqu’il doit être quelque part, on le met n’importe où, en dehors du théâtre des opérations, un simple spectateur de la mise en œuvre,—voir No. 2. Quelquefois, pourtant, il n’est pas si inutile, qu’il le paraît à première vue même quand il ne bouge pas, et ne gêne pas le roi noir. Il peut être placé, de façon à empêcher une seconde solution, et cela a lieu aussi quelquefois pour un pion inutile. Quant au roi et au pion, cependant, cela arrive moins souvent dans un problème en miniature que dans une position plus compliquée. Il arrive quelquefois, qu’après que les Blancs ont joué leur clef, il y ait une réponse des Noirs qui permettent aux Blancs de faire mat au second coup. Ceci s’appelle un mat anticipé, et un défaut du problème qui peut ou non, avoir de l’importance, vu les circonstances. Essayez de résoudre le problème par le diagramme. C’est de la bonne pratique, et n ’arrivez pas, si vous ne trouvez pas la clef, à la conclusion que le problème est impossible. Quelques-uns des meilleurs solutionnistes de ce pays n’ont pas réussi à résoudre quelques-uns de ces problèmes.

Ein dreizügiges Schachproblem kann als eine Position im Schachspiel beschrieben werden, in welcher die weissen Steine, die am Zuge sind, die Aufgabe haben, Schwarz in drei Zügen Mat zu setzen, trotz alledem was Schwarz thun könnte um es zu verhindern. Sollte der Weisse das Mat in 3 Zügen nicht zu Stande bringen können, so muss er sich als geschlagen betrachtet werden. Deshalb, kann Schwarz zu jedem noch so, verzweiflungsvollem Opfer Zuflucht nehmen nur um den Zweck des Gegners zu vereiteln und das Mat über den dritten Zug herauszuschieben. Angenommen dass das Problem nicht nebenlösig ist, dann gibt es für Weiss nur einen einzigen bestimmten Zug mit dem er beginnen muss um seinen Zweck zu erreichen. Sollte er mit einem anderen beginnen, dann dürfte Schwarz im Stande sein das Mat über den dritten Zug hinauszuschieben. Diesen Anfangs-zug von Weiss, (der im englischen, Schlüsselzug genannt wird) kann Schwarz verschieden beantworten. Jede dieser Antworten muss separat geprüft werden und erfordert wieder nur einen bestimmten Gegenzug. Dann folgt der zweite Zug von Schwarz, der, wie er auch sein mag, von Weiss mit einem Matzuge beantwortet wird. Ein guter Anfangs-zug beschränkt und bedroht schwarz gewöhnlich nicht. Unter den Problemen in diesem Buche gibt es kein einziges Beispiel wo, der Anfangs-zug ein Schachangebot, ein Schlagfall oder eine Bauernumwandlung wäre. Sollte Schwarz in der Anfangsposition ein Schlagfall zu gebote stehen, dann zögert der erfahrene Löser), die angegriffene Figur in Sicherheit zu bringen; zuerst denkt er nach was er thun müsste, wenn Schwarz seine Drohung ausführen sollte, und darnach trachtet er den Anfangszug einzurichten. Gewöhnlich ist Weiss im Stande die bedrohte Figur zu opfern, wenn der schwarze König sie nimmt, mag er gerade

seinen sicheren Platz verlassen und nun erfolgreich angegriffen werden. Solche Beispiele im zweiten Zuge von Schwarz kommen vor in Nr. 2, 4 u. 17. Wenn der schwarze König (um einen Stein zu schlagen oder nicht) auf ein Feld in die Nachbarschaft eines schwarzen Steines zieht, oder wenn der schwarze Stein auf das dem Könige nächste Feld zieht, dann ist dieses Feld blockirt, und irgend ein weisser Stein der es angegriffen hat, wird dadurch frei seinen Angriff auf einer anderen Stelle auszführen, (siehe Nr. 4, 7, 13 u. 18). Wann immer ein schwarzer Stein seinen Platz verlässt, (um eine Figur zu schlagen oder nicht) beobachte welche Felder er seinem Könige frei lässt, es mag sein dass ein weisser Stein dazu bestimmt ist, diese Felder zu besetzen, (wann immer ein Springer oder Bauer zieht, dann greift er immer andere Felder an als vor dem Zuge). Man sollte auch beachten, ob durch den Zug eines schwarzen Steines, der Weg für einen weissen Stein gebahnt wird (Siehe nr. 9). Es kommt oft vor dass Schwarz, in seinem Versuche sich zu schützen oder anzugreifen, die Bewegungsfreiheit seines eigenen Steines einschränkt aus diesem Umstande sollte der Weisse Vortheil ziehen. Dieses geschieht aber selten in einer Miniatur, da dem Schwarzen nicht oft Figuren zur Verfügung stehen, deren Bewegungsfreiheit eigeschränkt werden sollte. Als allgemeines Princip sollte es gelten, dass Weiss sich, einer drohenden Gefahr zu entziehen, nicht beeilt; Vor allem richtet er seine Aufmerksamkeit darauf, ob er den Verlauf nicht so einrichten könnte, dass Schwarz bei der Ausführung seiner Drohung in eine Falle geräht. Sei auf deiner Hut, wo ein Abzugschach droht (das kommt unter den ersten 20 Problemen in Nr. 1, 5, 6, u. 11 vor.) Beachte dass es nur ein bestimmtes Feld ist, wo die abziehende Figur placiert werden muss. Die Figur geht nicht, einfach aus dem Wege, sie zieht dorthin, wo ihre Dienste nothwendig sind.—Sollte eines der Felder in der Nachbarschaft des schwarzen Königs doppelt angegriffen sein, so lässt es vermuthen, dass einer der weissen Steine die es angreifen, während des Lösungsverlaufes ziehen wird.— Beachte auch dass wenn ein Springer Schach bietet, er auch ein diagonales Feld im der Nachbarschaft des Königs angreift. Die Möglichkeit, dass der weisse König zieht, sollte nicht ausser Acht gelassen werden. Fünf Anfangszüge unter den ersten 20 Problemen sind Königszüge (Siehe Nr. 6, 7, 8, 13 u 20). Manchmal macht er auch zwei Züge (siehe Nr. 8 u 20) und manchmal sogar

26

EIN LEITFADEN FÜR DIE LÖSER VON A. NEAVE BRAYSHAW, B.A., LL.B.

den dritten. Dieser dritte Zug ist selten und kann nur mit einem Abzugschache verbunden sein (Nr. 6). Die Thatsache dass der weisse König oder ein weisser Bauer in nicht zu grosser Entfernung, vom schwarzen Könige sich befinden, deutet an dass der letztere in diese Richtung zu ziehen beabsichtigt. Deshalb wenn der Weg dahin offen steht, ist es weise ihn nichtwieder zu versperren (Siehe Nr. 3, 12, 14, 15, u 17). Ist der Weg dahin gesperrt so muss die Räumung in Betracht gezogen werden (Siehe Nr. 1, 9, 16, 18, 19). Im Allgemeiden zieht der schwarze König (mit vielen Ausnahmen) (Siehe Nr. 2.) dem weissen Könige oder Bauer entgegen. Die Probleme Nr. 6 u 20 sind wieder Beispiele, wo der weisse König dem schwarzen entgegengeht und ihm auf diese Weise Fluchtfelder entzieht. Solch ein Vorgeben kommt selten vor, da die Feinheit des Problemes darunter leidet. Befindet sich ein weisser Bauer in der Nähe der achten Linie, dann muss an die Möglichkeit einer Bauernumwandlung gedacht werden. Dieses geschieht selten im ersten Zuge. Auf der achten Linie muss der Bauer umgewandelt werden, er muss aber nicht, nur eine Dame werden. Öfters muss man einen Springer wählen, seltener einen Thurm oder Laufer die letzteren besonders wenn es gilt eine Pat-position zu vermeiden. Die Fesselung eines weissen oder schwarzen Steines, darf nicht unbeachtet gelassen werden. (Ein Stein ist gefesselt wenn er sich von seinem Standorte nicht bewegen kann ohne seinen König in Schachgefahr zu bringen). Eine Fesselung im Anfangszuge kommt äusserst selten vor, da sie ein Kunstfehler wäre. Der schwarze König soll immer im Bereiche der Wirkungskraft, der weissen Truppen gehalten werden, darüber hinaus darf man ihm nicht lassen, oder das Mat im dritten Zuge wird unmöglich. Gewisse Matpositionen kommen öfters vor, besonders die zwei an den folgenden Diagrammen dargestellten.

In diesen zwei Mat-positionen steht die weisse Dame geschützt durch einen Bauer oder den König, auf dem, dem schwarzen König nächsten Felde. Sie kann in anderen Fällen durch einen Officier geschützt sein. Die zwei mit A bezeichneten Felder, müssen auch nicht immer durch einen Springer oder Laufer besetzt sein, wie diese zwei Beispiele zeigen. Es mag manchmal vorkommen,

dass eines oder beide mit A bezeichneten Felder durch schwarze Steine blockirt werden. (Siehe Nr. 13) Natürlich darf es kein Springer sein, da er, wenn nicht gefesselt, die weisse Dame angreifen würde. Wenn im ersten Diagramm, eines der mit B bezeichneten Felder durch einen weissen oder schwarzen Stein besetzt ist, dann ist der Wirkungskreis der Dame vom Felde C abgeschnitten, und der schwarze König muss anderweis verhindert werden, das Feld C zu betreten. In den ersten zwanzig Problemen kommen diese beiden Matpositionen vor (zuweilen mehr als einmal) in jeder der folgenden 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16. Die Position der Figur 1 kommt auch in Nr. 19 vor, und diejenige der Figur 2 in Nr. 13. Alle weissen Steine in den Problemen sind von irgend welchem Nutzen, keiner der Steine ist nur aus dem Grunde hingestellt, um den Löser irrezuführen. Sollte es deshalb vorkommen, dass in einer vermeintlichen Lösung, ein weisser Stein, während des ganzen Lösungsverlaufes, weder activ noch passiv zu Nutzen gekommen ist, so ist diese Thatsache ein Zeugniss, dass die vermeintliche Lösung falsch ist, oder dass der Löser eine Nebenlösung gefunden hat, die dem Componisten entgangen ist. Folgende Ausnahmen hat diese Regel: Nicht immer ist es möglich Nutzen für den weissen König zu finden, oder in Fällen wo er einen Bauern ersetzen könnte, er das reine Künstlerische Matbild zerstören würde. Da seine Anwesenheit aber doch notwendig ist, wird er irgendwo ausserhalb des Schlachtfeldes gesetzt, wo er dann nur die Rolle eines passiven Zuschauers spielt (Siehe Nr. 2). Manchmal ist aber der weisse König nicht so nutzlos wie es erscheint, sogar wenn er nicht zieht, oder dem schwarzes Könige keine Flucht-

felder abschneidet. Mag sein dass er durch seinen bestimmten Standort eine Nebenlösung verhindert; dasselbe gilt auch von einem anscheinend nutzlosen Bauern. Beides kommt aber selten vor in der Miniatur. Manchmal kommt es vor, dass Schwarz eine schwache Vertheidigung wählend, schon im zweiten Zuge Mat gesetzt wird. (Kurzes Mat.) Dieses wird mehr oder weinger als Kunstfehler betrachtet. Versuche das Problem vom Blatte zu lösen. Es ist eine gute Übung. Wenn Du den Anfangszug nicht finden kannst, schliesse nicht daraus, dass das Problem unlösbar sei. Viele guten Löser haben an der Lösung mancher von diesen Problemen gescheitert.

NOTES TO ELECTRONIC EDITION

All problems have been tested for unsoundness. After noting the errata on page xxix in the original edition, the following problems were found to be incorrect: 27, 41, 58, 70, 85, 97, 99, 117, 124, 131, 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: 30

31

343, 515, 613: vertical reversal 473: horizontal reversal No change has been made; the problems have been identified by a [!] Wiener Schachzeitung 1909 also notes that a number of names have been misspelled (Borrow instead of Bobrow, Gibbons instead of Gibbins, Hanc instead of Hane, Ulberg instead of Ulbing, and Votrura instead Votruba), which corrections have been incorporated into the current edition. Further name corrections made: Mörtzch (Mortzoch), Öhquist (Oequist), and several missing accents restored. The present edition contain only solutions in algebraic format: the solutions in descriptive notation that were given in the original have been dropped. A small attempt has been made to find original sources of the problems. I would be grateful for further source information, to be included, with acknowledgements, in future editions of this text. As far as I am concerned, this edition is free and may be used by anyone in any way whatever. A. Thulin Linköping, 1998-10-01

Many thanks to C. P. Ravilious who provided further source information for inclusion in the book.

“It matters nothing that oceans roll between and nationalities separate; there, upon the universe of the chess-board, when most we are rivals for fair Caissa’s smiles, then too do we most keenly feel how closely we are brothers in her love, how closely we are brothers in her cause.” —A. F. Mackenzie “A good problem—to the connoisseur is canvas, a poem, a symphony, and quite as permanent.” —W. E. Napier “My theory of a Key move was always to make it just the reverse of what a player in 999 cases out of 1000 would look for.” —S. Loyd “II faut donc se consacrer à l’etude des problémes si l’on veut apprendre l’ancien, noble et intéressant Jeu des Echecs. Nous ignorons si nos raisons, basées sur la logique, pourront convaincre les esprits réfractaires, s’il en était ainsi nous les engageons à composer ou à résoudre ces oeuvres poétiques; nous sommes persuadés qu’ils nous remercieront un jour lorsqu’ils appréscieront plus sainement les choses.” —J. Tolosa y Carreras “Zum Schachspiel sind drei Dinge nothwendig: Verstand, Verstand, Verstand.” Max Weiss “Ein jedes Problem ist nebenlösig, nur findet man halt die Nebenlösung nicht immer.” —J. L. Votruba “Ideen sind nicht patentfähig! Das Reich der Ideen ist aller Welt gemeinsames Eigentum. Nur die Form, in die ich eine Idee kleide, gehört mir, sonst nichts! Je künstlicher, je vollendeter diese Form ist, desto grösser wird mein Anteil an dem gemeinsamen Besitz.” —A. Bayersdorfer
