 And here comes my very first real composition ('Erstling' = Firstling): a three-mover that makes it clear why a certain theme keeps sneaking into my chess problems (as should become evident throughout this book as well …):

1.Rd1? But the pawn on c2 turns out to be quite a nuisance – hence:

1.0–0–0! c2  2.Rd5! Kg8  3.Rd8#

 Castling and Anderssen interference at the "threshold to the miniature," as Dr. Werner Speckmann called the eight-stone problems—the title of one of his booklets. His writings, along with A.H. Kniest’s “Diagrams and Figures,” were my first guideposts into the art of chess composition.
