For Frank Morley‘s Birthday:
The Board
“As Boileau-Narcejac* admirably said: ‘The creator invents the chessboard, the serial writer invents the moves.'” —Moez Lahmedi
* Quoted by Marc Lits in Pour lire le roman policier, Bruxelles-Paris, De Boeck-Duculot, 1989, p. 7.
The Moves
“Problems are the poetry of chess.
They demand from the composer
the same virtues that characterize
all worthwhile art:
originality, invention,
harmony, conciseness,
complexity, and
splendid insincerity.”
