CRUMBS FROM THE CHESS-BOARD a selection from the problems composed by
CHARLES A. GILBERG [1890]
An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2002-02-21
PREFACE As a recreation for the idle hours of life, the wide and varied domain of chess, but more especially that branch so aptly termed the Poetry of the game, has been to me during the past thirty years an unfailing source of delightful entertainment – a perennial banquet, indeed, that has never suffered the appetite for its social and intellectual fare to languish. Votaries of every clime and country have contributed the fruits of their genius and industry to the repast, and many warm and valued friendships have been cemented by kindred tastes and sympathies. But how few, alas, of the early companions remain to share the feast! The empire of earthly pleasures is frail and uncertain, and its curfew must toll for us all. While lingering at a somewhat late and protracted dessert with an ever unsated yearning for Caïssa’s bounty, I have gathered up some of the crumbs that have fallen from my table, which I wish to offer as a souvenir to the friends who still abide to minister to my enjoyment. If, to them, these morsels will serve to impart an occasional gleam of pleasant recollection, the aim and ambition which were the impelling influences that led to this collection will be fully gratified. In the following pages the conventional terms of White and Black have been retained, but the forces of the chess-board are respectively presented in Red and Blue. With the exception of a few of the older compositions included in this selection, that have been reset and remoulded, all have passed through the ordeal of public scrutiny, and I trust that it may not be unreasonable to hope that they will successfully maintain an unblemished integrity against all further analytical research. C. A. G. Brooklyn, September, 1890. 5
PREFACE TO ELECTRONICAL EDITION This edition is based on the original edition, published privately in New York, 1890. As the preface indicates the original was printed in colour: red and dark blue was used for the white and black pieces, which were set on a board printed in grey. These elegancies have not been retained in the present edition. Solutions have been converted from descriptive to algebraic notation. Problems up to five moves have been checked by Matthieu Leschemelle’s computer program Problemiste 2.14b. Remaining problems up to 7 moves have been checked by Popeye, and all further problems only briefly tested for obvious errors. Any found errors have been indicated in the solutions in brackets, and in the diagrams by the symbol ‘[†]’, indicating a problem without a solution in the stipulated number of moves, and the symbol ‘[*]’, indicating a problem with several solutions. A few source references have been added.
