700 Chess Problems

700 CHESS PROBLEMS

SELECTED FROM THE COMPOSITIONS OF Mrs. W. J. BAIRD

[1902]

An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2002-11-18

PREFACE

The Chess Problems contained in this volume are the product of the labour and recreation of some fourteen years. I say “labour,” because I am not such a Chess enthusiast as to believe that a collection such as this can be produced without persistent applica- tion partaking of the nature of work; and “recreation,” because the work has been a pleasure—how great a pleasure only a composer can fully realize. Although a large number of the problems have been republished in numerous papers at home and abroad, only the name of the publication in which each originally appeared is given. Exclusive of the prize list, in about a dozen cases with a view to an improvement, they have been more or less reset since their first appearance. The six added to this collection in letterpress at the end of the Solutions are the last composed. To the best of my belief there is not a single instance of a dual continuation, and not being an admirer of dual mates, they are very few and far between. A list of prize problems will be found, but it must not be taken for granted that it contains the essence of the volume. Solutions are given in full for the benefit of those who are not far advanced in the Problem Art. As will be seen, red represents the White, and blue the Black pieces.

The original edition was published by Henry Sotheran & Co, Lon- don, 1902. As the original preface indicates, it was printed in red and blue. In this edition, solutions have been converted from descriptive notation to algebraic, using the letter ‘S’ to indicate knights. The distinction between plain, double and discovered mates present in the original has not been retained, except as far as lines that were considered separate because of this distinction have also been kept separate in this edition. One example of this is the first and third line in the solution to problem 24. Variations omitted from the original solutions, indicated by ‘&c.’, have been added, in brackets. An extra section, containing publishing information (with occasional corrections of problem source), and notes about the problems taken from Mrs. Baird’s notebooks has been added after the solutions.

The dates given in the original proved to be the date of the award given. The present edition tries to make this clearer by printing them together with the award, rather than with the source, as in the original. In the original several unnumbered problems were given in letterpress: these problems have been set in diagrams, and, if associ- ated with another numbered problem, given the same number followed by A, B, C, etc. in brackets. The six diagrams appearing

7 8 baird: 700 chess problems last in the two-mover section were originally printed at the end of the solutions section.

All problems have been computer tested, using Matthieu Leschemelle’s Problemiste v. 1.90, except for the last two problems which were checked with Popeye. Only four unsound problems were found: 307, 627, 643 and 697. In those very few cases where computer testing showed the presence of moves or variations not completely covered in the original, these have been added to the solution in brackets, and set in italics. Occasional errors in mating moves have been silently corrected.

Acknowledgements

I am very grateful to C. P. Ravilious, who generously made his notes on the original publishing dates as well as the history of some of the problems, taken from Mrs. Baird’s own notebooks, available for this edition.

I also wish to thank the Library of the British Chess Problem Soci- ety for preserving Mrs. Baird’s notebooks and for making them available for research and publication. A. Thulin PRIZE PROBLEMS, ETC.

Most “Successful”* Problems for difficulty in the Morning Post

Two Mover, for half-year ending June 30th, 1888 26 Three Mover (2nd) for half-year ending June 30th, 1900 337 Three Mover from the time the records were commenced in 1887 to 1896 342 Three Mover for half-year ending July 4th, 1891, and 2nd for the whole year (republished from Bristol Mercury) 407 Three Mover (tie) for half-year ending July 6th, 1889 565 Four Mover for half-year ending July 5th, 1890 607

No. 149 was the first problem to appear in the columns of the Times Weekly Edition, and in the half-year’s account proved the most successful in the Two-Move series. —«·»— The fascination of composing has always been far greater to me than that of solving. However, I have now and then entered a solution tourney, with the result that I have been successful in win- ning a few prizes. Over the board play has its charm, but only twice

* The term “successful” indicates that the problems had the fewest number of solvers, and were therefore considered the most difficult. 12 baird: 700 chess problems have I engaged in serious competition. In 1897, I entered for the Ladies’ Championship for Sussex, which I won without the loss of a game; and in 1900, in the Ladies’ section of Leisure Hour, I tied for first prize. TWO-MOVE PROBLEMS

My task is done; and like the bard of old, My toils are over; and my tale is told; Yet still I pause beneath the enchanter’s spell– Still hesitate to say the word “Farewell”: But howso we may linger o’er the past The parting word must be pronounced at last. So, critics all, I thank your kind attention To these few pages of my poor invention; Whether your verdict be for good or ill– In praise or blame–yea–I would thank you still. But should I one approving glance descry My goal is numbered–or, in fact, if I One smile–one joy–one pleasing look have won, Then farewell all, my destined task is done.
