The Amores Perros Mystery

Filed under: General — m759 @ 8:49 pm

"I look at the name first. The manner of the crime betrayed the touch of
Professor Moriarty to Sherlock Holmes; in chess problems, on the contrary,
the composer's identity tells us, more or less, what to expect."
— Brian Harley, Mate in Two Moves: The Two-Move Chess Problem Made Easy,
1931, commentary on problem 162

This is from a webpage of March 20, 2001.

For a video vignette that may or may not serve to illustrate the Harley remark,
