DESCRIPTION

"WHEN THE PIECES MOVE"

By Vaux Wilson (1978)

VERY RARE AND SCARCE!!

Wilson, Vaux: "WHEN THE PIECES MOVE!" A Scientific Approach to the Analysis of Chess Problems.

(), self-published, 1978. Original black plastic ring binding. 249 pages. Combine diagrams of various sizes. 21,6 x 15 cm. In English. Copy 15, of a Limited Edition? Although now I cannot locate the data, but somewhere on the Internet it appears as a Limited Edition of 500 copies (honestly, it seems to me a lot for the type of Edition. I suspect that it is much less).

Good: Light dirt on the covers, more visible on the back and stains on the upper outer edge of the pages. Other than that, nothing particularly noteworthy. Presented to Norman Macleod by the author, and given by Mrs Macleod to British Chess Problem Society.

An evaluation of 1029 problems using MOE.

In the following link (https://www.thefreelibrary.com/A+systematic+and+discrete+view+of+aesthetics+in+chess-a0305370972), among its content, it is possible to read the following: "Wilson proposed a method of evaluating chess problems using reference tables by attributing integer values to strategies like checks, blocks, castling and also to individual themes in the hope of providing a fair basis for comparing one composed chess problem to another (Wilson J 969). This was intended to provide a more objective method for evaluating chess problems. The method produced a numeric score for individual chess problems that could be used to compare one against another. It was even reasonably accurate by some standards. However, his proposal to use the method to replace human judges in chess problem composition contests was universally rejected (Grand 1986) and probably because it failed to account for the aesthetic aspect of problems that cannot be accounted for as easily or was just assumed to be synergetic of the limited conventions and things he did account for."
