Chess Problems
Chess problems demand from the composer the same virtues that characterize all worthwhile art: originality, invention, consciousness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerity. - Vladimir Nabokov
Combinations in Chess
Combinations have always been the most intriguing aspect of Chess.
The masters look for them, the public applauds them, the critics

is more than a lifeless mathematical exercise. They are the
poetry of the game; they are to Chess what melody is to
music. They represent the triumph of mind over matter
(Reuben Fine)
