Milan Velimirovic:
A Collection of Chess Problems by Touw Hian Bwee
[2463]

2008, 136 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch

From the preface:
"The history of chess composition has produced many great masters. Unfortunately, some of them have not been understood and recognised by the ordinary problem enthusiast.
It takes something extra to be widely accepted and admired both by experts and colleagues, and by less knowledgeable chess problem solvers and fans.

Touw Hian Bwee had that certain something, excelling as one of the most popular and charismatic composers of the second half of the 20th century. His clear and technically perfect compositions based on highly attractive chess motifs like pins, interferences or batteries are guaranteed to gladden the solver’s heart even if he fails to understand the theme completely."

Das Buch enstand durch die Zusammenarbeit von Touw Hian Bwee und Milan Velimirović und enthält 178 Schachprobleme, davon 147 Zweizüger, 28 Dreizüger, 1 Vierzüger, 1 Sechszüger und ein 32-züger.
