Añadir al carrito1948. (Hardcover) Very good in good to very good dust jacket. 200pp. Illustrations, glossary, solutions. The dust jacket is chipped and worn around the edges with a large piece missing from the bottom of the spine, ink marks on the back panel, and the endpapers are toned. A prize inscription is taped to the front endpaper. "No g…reater artist than Comins Mansfield has existed in the treatment of the popular two-move problem, to which he confines his subject. I have often wondered how his subtle and intricate effects could be presented with the grace and economy of material that we find in the poetry, music and painting of the supreme workers in those arts. The author in his delightful book, which is illustrated by 200 diagrams, draws the veil aside, and shows us how he built up some of the most famous problems, step by step from the first simple ideas". (Games, Chess, Games, Logic).
