Brian Harley in Mate in Two Moves:
“It is quite true that variation play is, in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred, the soul of a problem, or (to put it more
materially) the main course of the solver’s banquet, but
the Key is the cocktail that begins the proceedings, and
if it fails in piquancy the following dinner is not so
satisfactory as it should be.”
(London, Bell & Sons. First edition, 1931.)
