If you know the moves of the chess pieces - however well or badly you play - you will understand and enjoy these two-move chess problems. Each has a full solution and a lively commentary. You will be astonished at the depth and variety of the ideas shown, many of which you have never seen and never will see in over-the-board play. The author, Barry Barnes, is an International Master and Judge of the F.I. D. E. for Chess Composition, its ex- 1st Vice President and Honorary Life Member. He has edited the two-move problems in the specialist magazine 'The Problemist' for over 26 ears.
