the Move

we have had a great many fine books

chess, dealing with almost every conceivable aspect of

the game. Yet these books have neglected what is after all the primary object of a game of chess: the actual process of checkmating your opponent's King. The purpose of this book is to instruct you, the reader, in all the many ways of achiev­

ing checkmate. Another and equally important aim is to give you the pleasant and entertaining task of solving three hundred carefully selected positions. This is a continuation of the «learn by doing" technique which has been applied successfully in Chess Mastery By Question and Answer� Chess for Amateurs, Chess Quiz and Chess By Yourself.

We begin with the task which is not only the most funda­ mental one, but also the easiest: mate on the move. These

fairly simple positions will train your batting eye. as it were; they will give you a Hair for the quickly decisive move. They are not always easy, so be on your guard for quirks. nnesses and optical illusionsl

Mate in erwo Moves THE

PRO B L EMS in the previous section were quite simple, were they not? Now we come to more difficult tasks. So far we have dealt with artless "one-liners" with a direct, clean-cut theme; but at this point we enter the realm of com­ bination. We may define the magic word combination in two dif­ ferent ways : as a series of moves having a common object, or as the blending of objective with method. Take the first definition: we have to accomplish our task in a given number of moves, and they cannot be any old moves. No indeed; they must be purposeful, calculated, pre­ cise, and they must be linked by the same idea. The first move will provide the setting, the second move will provide the execution (you may take this as a pun! ) . As for the second definition: our objective (checkmating the hostile King ) guides us in our choice of moves. We will find the right moves only if we know what we are looking for. Thus these problems serve a useful purpose in training us how to discern our goals, and how to achieve them.
