Welcome!

The focus of this blog will be on old chess problems, mainly in digital form.

To me ‘old’ means before 1900. Or perhaps before 1914, as the FIDE Albums cover the time starting from 1914.

There won’t be a ‘problem of the week’ for general solving, but there may be links to digital sources for old problems.

There will be notes on early chess problem tourneys.

And there will probably be the general kind of msicellaneous notes on topics that I come across in my general digging around in old sources.

Posting frequency will be fairly low.
