“I think the best way for the player to begin to understand and enjoy problems is through using the chess skill he already possesses to solve them simply as chess puzzles. This will give him a sense of achievement and in the search for the answer he will have to examine what happens in the problem; as he does this – at least this was my experience – he will begin to appreciate the beauty of a good problem and to understand that although it is partly a puzzle (and can be enjoyed as such) it is also something deeper and more significant. While it is the struggle in a game of chess that is the central element, most players get pleasure from the ideas that occur in a game and not just from winning; so, although at first some may find problems rather bloodless, there are few who will not grow to enjoy them. In any event, I am sure that it is worth while at least making the attempt to widen one's range of chess experience.”
