The Chess Problem: Text-book with illustrations - 2a mano

A textbook of problem composition, the text written by Planck with the cooperation of the others (Andrews, Henry John Clinton, Edward Nathan Frankenstein, Benjamin Glover). The main chapters deal with, first, beauty of solution (considered the prime feature of a problem), subdivided into "The elegance and subtlety of the key move", The brilliancy and depth of the lines of play" and "The excellence of the mating positions"; second, construction, subdivided into "Possibility of initial position", "Economy", Naturalness" and "Minor requisites"; third the role of difficulty of solution. Other chapters discuss classification, self-mates, and problem tourneys and awards. Illustrative examples in the text also appear in the second part of the work which gives the 400 assorted diagrammed compositions."
