          How I Became a Chess Problem Composer de Antonio Tarnawiecki
              Chess problems and chess composition are topics of which most chess players are aware but have little understanding. This is, of course, no surprise to those who enjoy chess problems and other chess compositions. Their world contains different kinds of rules, names, techniques, both when composing and solving, and these are not easy to grasp unless you get a good introduction. ...

                      Documentation échiquéenne

                          Chess Warrior de László Jakobetz
                              Ask any chessplayer today if they recognize the name ”Maróczy“ and you will probably get a reply that it describes a pawn configuration designed to limit black pawn levers. While technically correct, such a reply would overlook the life and legacy of one of the great grandmasters, organizers, and arbiters in chess history. Géza Maróczy was the first Hungarian world-class grandmaster....
