Many players who have regarded prob. lems as alien to their favorite pastime are convinced that the study of creation emanating from imaginative minds yield Us own pleasures, and that the unfavor-able impressions once formed were premature and perchance illusory. Where circumstances are unpropitiou for the enjoyment of tet a tete encounter- no friendly opponent being available for "measuring swords" there is alwgy the problem to fall hack upon, and a few trials at penetrating the mysteries of a concocted position will prove an excellent substitute, and on being fairly successful, tends to create a keen desire to go-further Into the sublect.
The improving solver, having mastered the prelimlnarie of problem work. Is fascinated far more than the uninitiated In hi tilt at a problem.
