INTRODUCTION. 
 
 CHESS without the use of Queens and Rooks 
 sounds impossible. As a game it would 
 doubtless be so; but so many excellent problems 
 have been composed along these restricted lines, 
 that any solver who lost the Queens and Rooks 
 from his set of chessmen would still have material 
 for almost endless study. My good friend and 
 collaborator, H. Staerker of Bournemouth, Eng- 
 land, recently sent me 2,500 positions in which 
 White's force, apart from King and Pawns, was 
 limited to Knights and Bishops — the result of only 
 a few weeks' search. This book is largely based 
 on his collection. All problems in four or more 
 moves are omitted, and the restrictions as to 
 force are extended to Black; but even so the work 
 of selection has not been an easy one. The re- 
 sult should at least prove an interesting study of 
 the interplay of the minor officers; and any solver 
 who masters all the problems should become an 
 adept at handling his Knights and Bishops in 
 more complex positions. The problems are graded 
 in groups, according to the number of White 
 Knights or Bishops used. Pawn promotions have 
 consistently been avoided, where they involved 
 the making of the rejected officers. Nos. 1, 19 
 and 48 are distinctly members of our class. The 
 promotions in Nos. 17, 24 and 78 are rather in- 
 
11 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 cidental. Black Pawns cannot, of course, be pre- 
 vented from claiming Rooks or Queens, but the 
 point of No. 22 turns on the reply to the try, 
 1. QSd5, and the problem belongs clearly in the 
 collection. 
 
 No regular arrangement according to themes 
 was practicable, as the different problems touch 
 at so many points. The restriction as to force, 
 however, results in certain outline characteristics. 
 The attack of a Knight is essentially diagonal, as 
 is that of the Bishop; consequently problems in- 
 volving flight squares will for the most part have 
 them diagonally. Indeed, there exists a whole 
 multitude of problems with only minor officers, 
 in which the Black King has three or four diagon- 
 al flights, usually on the move preceding the mate. 
 They are very tame affairs, and repeat one another 
 so often as to deserve relegation to the pigeon- 
 hole of worn-out themes. Nos. 32, 38, 49, 54, 55 
 are the best or earliest examples of the various 
 flight-principles involved. 
 
 The most prominent strategic characteristic of 
 the collection is the self-blocks by Black. These 
 occur in every other problem more or less con- 
 spicuously. They should especially be studied 
 and compared in the Frontispiece and in Nos. 25, 
 30, 31, 48, 56, 60, 61, 64, 65, 74, 75 and 79. 
 
 Another element to be noted is the way in 
 which the minor officers can be made to play for 
 position according as Black relaxes its guard in 
 various directions or furnishes convenient blocks. 
 Nos. 44, 52, 53, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 87 all 
 illustrate some phase of this form of skirmishing. 
 It will readily be seen from the last two groups 
 mentioned that in general the problems in th£ 
 
INTRODUCTION. Ill 
 
 collection must be of waiting, rather than threat, 
 strategy; and this trait holds good throughout. 
 
 Less general resemblances and groupings can 
 be found by the reader according to his personal 
 taste; such comparisons will serve to make the 
 book something more than a series of isolated 
 puzzles. A few hints may be given at random, 
 to be made the starting-point for further com- 
 parisons. 
 
 1. Problems with "twin" features: Nos. 4 and 
 5, and 98 and 99. 
 
 2. Problems involving en-passant strategy: 
 Nos. 62 and 100. 
 
 3. Black King to capture White Knights on 
 adjacent squares: Nos. 89, 90, 91, 92. 
 
 4. Echo mates on squares of opposite colors: 
 Nos. 39, 40, 41, 92 , 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98. Com- 
 parison should be made between the different 
 mates 'echoed. 
 
 5. Roman idea: No. 51. 
 
 6. Indian and ambush strategy: Nos. 6, 66, 
 67, 68. 
 
 7. Grab theme: No. 23. 
 
 8. Sparring of White King with Black Knight: 
 Nos. 5, 15, 29, 58, 62. 
 
 9. Sparring of White Knight with Black Bish- 
 op: No. 26. 
 
 10. Sparring of White Bishop with Black 
 Bishop : No. 83. 
 
 11. Making a path for a White Pawn to mate: 
 Nos. 2, 36, 37, 83. 
 
 12. White Pawns monopolize the main play: 
 Nos. 16, 17, 100. 
 
 13. Cornered King themes: Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, 
 12, 15, 20, 23. 
 
IV INTRODUCTION. 
 
 14. Black force limited to King: Nos. 55, 
 80, 84. 
 
 15. No White Pawns: Nos. 9, 13, 20, 22, 46, 
 51, 93. 
 
 16. So many problems illustrate pure and 
 model mates that it is useless to enumerate them. 
 The following by English and American com- 
 posers are noteworthy: Nos. 45, 72, 85, 88 
 and 94. 
 
 It will be noticed that many of the problems 
 are of recent date. There is no question that as 
 the refinement of problem composition continues, 
 similar results will be achieved with smaller and 
 smaller material, so that more and more themes 
 will be brought within the compass of the Knight 
 and Bishop class. Take No. 33. The four mates 
 here combined have been published under differ- 
 ent names innumerable times, certainly several 
 hundred times. No. 33 was the first example with- 
 out a White Queen, but within the last three years, 
 at least a dozen other renderings without a Queen 
 have been published. This modern craze for the 
 expression of ideas in their lowest terms and 
 purest forms has its advantages as well as its 
 drawbacks. The drawbacks are the many anaemic 
 presentations of worn-out themes which no column 
 or magazine has as yet shown the strength of 
 mind to refuse its diagrams to. The advantages 
 are the occasional masterpieces of concise strategy 
 and gem-like purity which I have tried to gather 
 together in these pages.
