		The composer writes (letter to the author, 23 April 2005): "The dramatic unfolding of the piece comes directly from the chess game." Note: This game was also used by Noel-Johnson for Sinbad the Sailor on Ice.

		For example, in chess, a person who creates puzzles and problems to be solved is called a composer, and two different sequences of moves that lead from one given position to another are said to be related by transposition.

		Although Philidor was the greatest chess player of his time, he professed to be just a musical composer (of which he was great in his day), because chess was not fully understood by the masses.

		He was invited to the courts of Europe to play chess in front of the royalties.

		A chess problem is a puzzle set by a composer using chess pieces on a chess board, presenting the solver with a particular task to be achieved.
		In addition, there is the study, in which the stipulation is that white to play must win or draw.
		Because the study is composed it is related to the problem, but because the stipulation is open-ended (the win or draw does not have to be achieved within any particular number of moves) it is usually thought of as separate from the problem.

	About Me
		I remember that I was taken with the simple aesthetics of a problem chess diagram and its condition that there is only one solution to kill the fl king in a given number of moves.
		Only as I started studying problem chess books and magazines I discovered the universe of themes and ideas in which I gradually immersed.
		The few fairy problems I composed have been a flight of fancy, thanks to my old pals Jörg Kuhlmann, a well known fairy chess theoretician and Marcel Tribowski, a splendid composer, who feels at home in nearly every problem genre.

		She was a top Soviet chess composer in the sixties and seventies, but all I can find are some of her (all very witty) problems and studies and, in a 1990 Soviet chess encyclopedia, her birth year, 1928.
		She composed a few studies and some 250 problems, eight of which won First Prizes, several making it to that Valhalla of artistic chess, the FIDE-albums.
		In fact, it is tempting to think that in her chess ideas, she sought compensation for a restricted life - there is such agility in them.

		Not surprisingly, chess is featured in his books and one of his major works – ‘Luzhin’s Defence’ (I believe, that in English the title is ‘The Defence’) is about a chess player.
		Anyway, the book (‘Luzhin’s Defence’) is worth reading, though I prefer chess motifs in yet another Nabokov’s work – ‘Invitation to the Execution’ (again, this is my translation of the title from Russian, the actual title may be different).
		I always wondered what attracted chess professionals to Havana, as GMs do not receive appearance money there and the prize fund is very modest (with $1200 for first in our section).
