This book might cause a headache!Warning! The book contains 100 really hard mate-in-two puzzles by one of the best chess composers to have lived. You might get severely challenged while solving these puzzles.About Sam LoydSam Loyd was born January 30, 1841, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S., and died April 10, 1911, in New York. He is probably one of the greatest American puzzle creators ever. Not only did he create amazing chess puzzles, but Sam Loyd also made puzzle games and math puzzles. Loyd studied engineering and took a license as a steam and mechanical engineer, but he managed to create a career out of creating puzzles. When Loyd was 14 years old, he started creating his first chess problems.As a 19-year-old he was problem editor for the magazine Chess Monthly, edited by no other than Paul Morphy. As a chess player, he peaked at no. 15 in the world around 1868-1869. It must therefore be clear that you are up against an excellent puzzle-master when you are going to solve the 100 mate in two problems in this book all composed by Sam Loyd. Loyd said the following about the art of making mate-in-two-problems:“I have often expressed the opinion that it is no easy task to compose a good two-move problem. It should have a decided point, a well-defined theme with a sparkle to it; and the difficulty should consist in the surprise of the trick, and not in the mere trouble of selecting the correct key-move.”You might ask why I should solve mate in two puzzles?Former world no. 3 and renown chess trainer, Arthur Yusupov, writes in his book Boost Your Chess that mate-in-two-puzzles “..are very useful for training in the calculation of variations. One is often foced to take into account a lot of candidate moves in order to reach the solution. It is very important to consider all possible replies for your opponent. This develops your skill in calculating short variations.”I hope this short intro will keep you motivated to solve these challenging chess puzzles. The problems are presented in a semi-random order to make different themes be presented evenly throughout the book.The solutions are mostly presented with the different variations, but in some only the first correct move is given. This is the move I have found in the sources/databases, so I have judged that Loyd wanted it to presented like this. It also gives you an extra challenge to go visualize all the different variations of the solution.About the authorMartin B. Justesen is an archivist by profession and an amateur chess player. This book is the second book published by Martin. The first book, Blindfold Endgame Visualization, which is also available in the Amazon store, was published in 2020 and has been highly praised for its simple design and innovative idea.

The title of the book should be Mate in Two Chess PROBLEMS rather than PUZZLES. There is a difference between the two, some of it rigidly defined and some followed by long standing convention.In problems, for example, the starting positions often are not in any way like those arising in normal games. Also in problems, there is a set task which has to be carried out in a specific number of moves, no more and no less. In problems, there is always the unstated convention that White moves first and the board is oriented with White at bottom.In problems, there is one and only one solution which follows a unique "key" move. The "key" move is often startling or wildly unexpected. If there is another "key" or another way to achieve the task, for example mate in a certain number of moves, then the problem is flawed or in problem parlance, "cooked".In problems, a convention dictates that every piece on the board is necessary, i.e., every single piece or pawn in the board position has a role to play to make the solution unique. Pieces whose only role is to decorate the board or make it look more like a real game are never seen.The mechanisms at work in a problem solution are sometimes repeated, like plots or scenarios found in multiple movies. These are recognizable and many have even been given unique names, like "Novotny Interference"Chess problems, even short ones, such as these, are often quite hard to solve and it can be inferred that composing one is even more difficult. Sam Loyd is often considered the "dean" of American chess problem composers and it's great to have 100 of his positions in one place and in a such a clean format. But to reiterate, this book contains what would be called "chess problems". Don't hesitate to buy it.
