Description: Chess Lyrics gathers a stellar series of chess problems from the early 20th century, showcasing American problemist A. F. Mackenzie's work. A problemist since 1880, Mackenzie's works heavily influenced chess problem construction by contemporary English, Bohemian, and German composers. Featuring problems rated from easy to difficult, from two- to four-moves, Chess Lyrics also contains the author's own contemporary analysis and insights into the strategy, themes, and challenges of composition for each. A must-have for problem experts, as well as casual chess enthusiasts and problemist novices eager to explore the lesser-known world of chess strategy.
