CHESS STRATEGY
A collection of the most beautiful chess problems composed by
‘J. B., of Bridport’
and contributed by him to the chief chess periodicals during the last fifteen years.
[1865]

PR EFACE
The history of Chess Problems—a delightful subject, by the way—has yet to be written, and we are uninformed of the extent to which this beautiful off-shoot of the parent game was cultivated in former times. At no period, however, in all probability has the attention of so many Chess Amateurs been devoted either to the production or to the solu-tion of these ingenious puzzles, as in the present day. Chess Problems are now, indeed, a distinct branch of Chess study. This is undoubt-edly due in a great measure to the immense impulse given to Chess a few years since, but it is partly owing, also, to the more attractive character of the compositions themselves. The earlier collections of Chess Problems consist largely of positions of the nature of what are called ‘End-games,’ positions in which, so long as the resemblance to a real game was preserved, little pains were taken to limit the number of moves required to effect the mate. Many of them, again, are of the
‘suicidal’ kind, and others are clogged by special and perplexing stipu-lations. By degrees the ingenuities of Chess Problem composers have become limited to a narrower range, ‘self-mates,’ mates in 250 moves; mates with a particular Pawn, or on a particular square; mates in ‘not more and not less’ than a specified number of moves, have given way to the easier, but far more useful positions of three, four, or five moves only. Of the Chess Problem in this its latest and most captivating form, many strikingly beautiful examples have appeared of late years in peri-odicals that devote a column of their space to Chess, and judging from the favourable reception they have met, this henceforth will doubtless be the class of positions permanently and generally in vogue.
iv J. B. of Bridport
Among those who have ministered most ably and bountifully to the popular craving for this description of Chess stratagem, Mr John Brown, or, as he preferred to write himself ‘J. B., of Bridport,’ the author of this collection has long stood pre-eminent.
The productions of this regretted gentleman, who died recently in the prime of manhood, are remarkable for a degree of unvarying excellence, which has never been, perhaps, surpassed. Some of his rivals have composed finer problems than any in these pages, but their genius manifestly ebbed and flowed, while his seems always to have been at height. There is not a single diagram of this composer deficient in point and beauty. He has no feeble or indifferent plots, and he never fritters away his idea in elaborating it into a problem. All is ornate and finished, to a high degree, and are most unlike those ruins of good conceptions sometimes discoverable in meagre pieces of strategy.
The constancy, too, with which he keeps to his high standing, is the more admirable, and the more praiseworthy, from the fact of his uni-form accuracy. Composers and examiners of Chess Problems know, all too well, that errors will elude their utmost vigilance, but ‘J. B.’ sub-jected his inventions to such rigid scrutiny that scarcely one ever left his hand imperfect.
Another merit in these problems, of a different kind, is their variety. The Author, had, it is true, his favourite combinations, and sometimes fondly returned to the same theme for the purpose of embodying it skilfully in a new composition; but his conceptions are generally as fresh as they are vigorous. As a rule he does not crowd his diagrams, and he rarely gives the defending side a studied superiority of force. In nearly every case the solution is made to hinge on an ingenious coup de repos, branching thence into numerous variations, each of which is itself a skilful enigma. His predilection for combinations of the Queen and Knights, or of Queen, Knight, and Bishop, is well exemplified in Nos. 32, 65, 39, and 47. Among the three-move positions, which form more than two thirds of this collection, there will be found many charming stratagems. Where all are so good, however, it is difficult to make selections. Still, without saying absolutely they are the best, par-ticular attention may be invited to Nos. 51, 66, 71, 92, 98, 113, 122, 125, 130. No, 9, is one of the most exquisite two-move problems known, and
Chess Problems v
those who are at the pains to study Nos. 144, 163, and that master-piece, No. 173, will regret that there are not more positions of four, and five moves depth in the book.
A volume of Chess Problems so meritorious as these of Mr Brown carries its own recommendation, and can hardly fail of a welcome wherever the game which it serves so beautifully to illustrate is known. This posthumous collection, has, however, another claim to consid-eration, and one which will be irresistible to Chess players of gener-ous sympathies. It is published solely for the benefit of the widow and orphans of its estimable Author.
In explanation of the fact that three or four of the diagrams in this vol-ume are repetitions of preceding diagrams, it is proper to mention that many of Mr Brown’s Problems were printed in several periodicals, and have been collected bv different hands.
NOTES TO ELECTRONIC EDITION
This edition is based on the printed edition published by N. Trübner & Co., London, 1865.
The solutions have been converted to modern algebraic notation, and some of the notes in the original solutions have been moved to the corresponding diagrams.
Only four problems have been found to be seriously faulty: 22, 24, 109, 170. Additionally, diagram 76 has a black pawn on a1, but this is presumably a misprint.
A few duplicated positions have been found: problem 73 is exactly repeated in problem 77, problem 72 is problem 32 mirrored horizon-tally, and problem 102 is problem 35 mirrored and translated.
Known sources have been added, in brackets, below the diagrams, but are not necessarily original sources. Any errors or notes added to the solutions are also in brackets.
