Sam Loyd and His Chess Problems Paperback – December 31, 2002

For Sam Lyod, the chess puzzle king, there is no need to comment. But one thing annoys me is that the solution is printed under each puzzle diagram,so one either set up the problems using a chess sets, or have to cover the solution hoping not to see the answers unintentionally. This would make the reader very inconvient!!I don't understand how such obvious thing the publihser should miss!!

Les commentaires sur la vie de Loyd sont excellents avec beaucoup d'anecdotes. Les points de vues sur le monde du problème font aussi partie des points forts du livre. On regrettera toutefois que les analyses des problèmes soient presque inexistantes.
