700 CHESS PROBLEMS

SELECTED FROM THE COMPOSITIONS OF

Mrs. W. J. BAIRD

[1902]

An Electronic Edition
Anders Thulin, Malmö · 2006-07-09
PREFACE

The Chess Problems contained in this volume are the product of the la-
bour and recreation of some fourteen years. I say “labour,” because I am
not such a Chess enthusiast as to believe that a collection such as this can
be produced without persistent application partaking of the nature of
work ; and “recreation,” because the work has been a pleasure—how great
a pleasure only a composer can fully realize. Although a large number of
the problems have been republished in numerous papers at home and
abroad, only the name of the publication in which each originally ap-
peared is given. Exclusive of the prize list, in about a dozen cases with a
view to an improvement, they have been more or less reset since their first
appearance. The six added to this collection in letterpress at the end of the
Solutions are the last composed.
To the best of my belief there is not a single instance of a dual continu-
ation, and not being an admirer of dual mates, they are very few and far
between.
A list of prize problems will be found, but it must not be taken for granted
that it contains the essence of the volume.
Solutions are given in full for the benefit of those who are not far ad-
vanced in the Problem Art. As will be seen, red represents the White, and
blue the Black pieces.

PREFACE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITION

The original edition was published by Henry Sotheran & Co, London, 1902.
As the original preface indicates, it was printed in red and blue.
In the present edition, solutions have been converted from descriptive
notation to algebraic, using the letter ‘S’ to indicate knights. The distinc-
tion between plain, double and discovered mates present in the original
has not been retained, except as far as lines that were considered separate
because of this distinction have also been kept separate here. One example
of this is the first and third line in the solution to problem 24.
Variations omitted in the original solutions, and indicated by ‘&c.’, have
been restored, in brackets.
An extra section, containing publishing information (with occasional
corrections of publishing sources), and notes about the problems taken
from Mrs. Baird’s notebooks has been added after the solutions.
The years given for problems in the original proved to be the date of
the award given. The present edition tries to make this clearer by placing
the date together with the award, rather than with the source, as in the
original.
In the original several unnumbered problems were given in letterpress:
these problems have been set in diagrams, and, if associated with another
numbered problem, given the same number followed by A, B, C, etc. in
brackets. The six diagrams appearing last in the two-mover section were
originally printed at the end of the solutions section.
All problems have been computer tested, using Matthieu Leschemelle’s

vi baird: 700 chess problems

program Problemist, except for the last two problems which were checked
with Popeye. Only four unsound problems have been found altogether:
307, 627, 643 and 697.
In those very few cases where computer testing showed the presence
of moves or variations not completely covered in the original, these have
been added to the solution in brackets, and set in italics.
Occasional errors in mating moves have been silently corrected.

Acknowledgements

I am very grateful to C. P. Ravilious, who generously made his notes on the


original publishing dates as well as the history of some of the problems,
taken from Mrs. Baird’s own notebooks, available for this edition.
I also wish to thank the Library of the British Chess Problem Society
for preserving Mrs. Baird’s notebooks and for making them available for
research and publication.

Edition, and in the half-year’s account proved the most successful in the
Two-Move series.
—«·»—

The fascination of composing has always been far greater to me than that of
solving. However, I have now and then entered a solution tourney, with the
result that I have been successful in winning a few prizes. Over the board
play has its charm, but only twice have I engaged in serious competition.
In 1897, I entered for the Ladies’ Championship for Sussex, which I won
without the loss of a game; and in 1900, in the Ladies’ section of Leisure
Hour, I tied for first prize.

still happier rendering of No. 561. It will 1st Prize, 1893

FAREWELL

My task is done ; and like the bard of old,


My toils are over ; and my tale is told ;
Yet still I pause beneath the enchanter’s spell—
Still hesitate to say the word “Farewell”:
But howso we may linger o’er the past
The parting word must be pronounced at last.
So, critics all, I thank your kind attention
To these few pages of my poor invention ;
Whether your verdict be for good or ill—
In praise or blame—yea—I would thank you still.
But should I one approving glance descry
My goal is numbered—or, in fact, if I
One smile—one joy—one pleasing look have won,
Then farewell all, my destined task is done.
