by B . P . Barnes (Author)
These problems obey explicitly the rules of chess and, if you know the moves of the pieces, solving them will be well within your capabilities. That is not to say they are easy to solve - they vary. The pleasure of problem chess lies not in the difficulty of solution, but in an appreciation of how white wins. There are no dull draws here, only exciting mate finishes! The author, Barry Barnes, is an international Master and Judge of the FIDE for Chess Composition, its ex-1st Vice president and Honorary Life Member. He edited the two-move problems in the specialist magazine The Problemist for 34 years.

Book Overview: It was once said that the chess problem is to chess as the crossword is to literature ... Anyone who knows the basic rules of chess will be able to understand the problems contained within this book - but not everyone will rise to the challenge to solve them all! These 200 problems of varying ability will really tease the beginner or avid player alike. Chess fans will recognise Barry Barnes as an International Chess Master and Judge of the FIDE for Chess Composition, its ex-1st Vice President and Honorary Life Member. He was also editor of the two-move problems in specialist magazine The Problemist for 34 years. Due to an overwhelming demand in a marketplace where few other books offer similar problems, Barnes' classic is reintroduced in Right Way Plus' larger, sleeker format with a great new cover. Nonetheless, this high quality book is still great value at just ?8.99 for 160 problem-packed pages.
