Well... err... I am Stephen Addison. This was my first book, which I wrote
over maybe 6 months. The main driving force was a strange feeling that
someone ought to collate games to play on a chessboard. Simple as that.
It actually whet my appetite for the second, which took 5 years (most fo
which was research). This was 'The Book of Extraordinary Chess
Problems', a far more extensive and chess specific work. It took a lot
more effort, but consequently I feel is a much better proposition.
Regardless, I hope some people at least enjoy either or both these books.
