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.

These problems obey explicitly the rules of chess, and if you know the moves of the pieces, solving them will be well within your capabilities. That is not to say that they are easy to solve -- they vary. The pleasure of problem chess lies not in the difficulty of solution, but in the appreciation of how White wins. There are no dull draws here, only exciting mate finishes!
