Chess Problems - Their Composition and Solution

By Carsten Hansen and James Rayner

Composing and solving chess problems can seem like an entirely different world from regular chess, and in many ways, they are, but there are plenty of overlapping issues and applications. In this volume, James Rayner, who was a leading composer in his own right and the editor of the chess problem section in British Chess Magazine, dives into how to compose and solve chess problems, presenting techniques that can be applied immediately. Furthermore, he presents a selection of chess problems, including some of his own by the leading composers of his day. In this new edition, FIDE Master Carsten Hansen thoroughly reanalyzed all of the compositions and analyses and made the material accessible to modern readers and fans of chess problems.
