About this book

One Hundred Chess Problems collects compositions by Arthur Cyril Pearson (1838-1916), the English clergyman who was among the popular chess problem composers of the Victorian era. The book presents a hundred original positions for solving, in the two-move and three-move forms beloved of newspaper chess columns, where Pearson's work appeared for decades. Problem composing was a craze of the age, and collections like this carried the puzzle habit into thousands of parlours. Solvers still find the old two-movers excellent training.
