Riassunto

Excerpt from One Hundred Chess Problems: With Chess Puzzle Frontispiece

It may be true that a composer is not a good judge of the merits of his work, but it is not less true that he can best appreciate the difficulty of combining clear construction with some subtlety, and freshness of idea. He knows well where the shoe pinches, and he must often take strong measures to guard against flaws, or to prevent second solutions. These meet him face to face, though they seldom pres'ent themselves to the notice of the solver after they have been overcome by the introduction of pieces condemned, perhaps, as unnecessary. By the off-hand critic.
