Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a unique and fascinating area of chess problem composition: the "Retractor." This type of problem challenges solvers to think backwards, as it involves retracting moves to achieve a specific outcome. The author, a keen problemist himself, introduces the concept of the Retractor and explains its origins, exploring its potential for complexity and beauty. He lays out rules and definitions for this new branch of chess composition, outlining principles of soundness and legitimacy. The book is full of intricate problems that showcase the author's creative genius, and each one is accompanied by Shakespearean quotes that add a literary flourish to the chessboard. The author also examines the philosophical underpinnings of the Retractor, drawing parallels with the game of chess played "backwards," and arguing for the legitimacy of the Retractor as a legitimate art form, distinct from traditional direct-mate problems. He goes on to discuss the unique challenges the Retractor poses, highlighting the need for imagination and creativity to unravel its complexities. The book offers a fresh perspective on the world of chess problem composition, showcasing a sophisticated and thought-provoking approach to the game. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259756422_0
