Description

Here are 50 elegant, witty chess problems concerned with deducing events in a game's past. In the first half, Holmes instructs Watson in the intricacies of retrograde analysis while the two examine interrupted games. The second half features increasingly difficult self-contained chess mysteries, including a double murder perpetrated by Professor Moriarty.
