A presentation of three hundred previously unknown chess problems, each one prefaced with a Shakespearean quotation that apparently gives a clue to the solution. Published by Henry Sotheran in 1907.This is the work of a true chess pioneer and a rare female participant in a very masculine world. Edith Baird (1859-1924) composed chess problems from an early age and, especially after her marriage in 1880, became widely published. In 1893 she won a prestigious international award and saw her problems appearing in The Times, and in 1902, after fourteen years, produced her first book, Seven Hundred Chess Problems. By the time of her death in 1924 she had created over two thousand chess problems, a remarkably prolific achievement.The book presented a completely new kind of chess problem - the retractor, in which the solver must work backwards and take a specified number of moves. The resulting puzzles range from the relatively benign to the almost impossible, including two in which the printed board is completely lacking in pieces.Provenance: From the library of the Hastings and St. Leonards Chess Club. Founded in 1882, the club is still thriving today.
