To solve these delightful brain-teasers, you don't need to be a chess expert, you don't need an opponent – you don't even need a board and men!
In each case, White moves first and, no matter how Black replies, White forces checkmate on his next move. The trick, of course, is to find the right first move. The search for that move is what makes these puzzles so intriguing, and so tantalizing. The solution to each puzzle appears at the back of the book, together with an explanation of the technical fine points which you may have overlooked. These explanations will add greatly to your enjoyment of the puzzles.
"Chess problems," says the editor, "have the same irresistible attraction as mysteries and suspense stories. You cannot put down such a book until you have found out exactly how it winds up, until every puzzle element is fully explained. So it is with a problem."
All these problems are the work of Comins Mansfield, one of the most distinguished men in this field. The introduction and the detailed explanations of the solutions are by Brian Harley, one of the outstanding authorities on problems. Fred Reinfeld has contributed a foreword, helpful hints to solvers, and careful editing to enhance the reading pleasure of those who are trying their hand at problem solving for the first time.
