The Hidden World Of Chess Composition

@Respectful_Dave Thanks for sharing this. I used to try to solve compositions in a book. Maybe I should go back to it...at the very least, it was fun. It also stirred the imagination quite a bit.

You should, definitely!

The way I've done it for the last couple of years is that if I haven't worked on my daily chess, and I don't feel like it, I solve a couple of compositions. It never feels like hard work to me.
I love chess compositions, they seem to encapsulate a beauty that otherwise would be lost to the ether that is the incomprehensible amount of possible positions a chess game can have.
