[edit]

Just wanted to give the author (as I write there has only been one) a pat on the back for a good page. It's always annoying when someone writes a good page and it appears that noone noticed (actually probably rarely the case but that is not so clear after the page view counter was turned off) Today I noticed this page!

Thanks very much - I really appreciate it :) --Camembert

Reti study date

[edit]

When was the Rety study first published, and where? the main text says 1922, but the text above the diagrm says 1921. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.229.254.228 (talkcontribs)

Not sure about that. Chernov gives 1921, but it might not have been published until 1922. Bubba73 (talk), 01:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For a long time, there was a lot of confusion about this: the study was often dated as 1921, but (if I remember correctly) nobody was sure of a source including it before 1922 (when I added it originally, I imagine I took the source information from Test Tube Chess, which is by now very probably out of date on this point). The source added above the diagram (Ostrauer Morgenzeitung, 4. 12. 1921) by User:Rainer Staudte (who probably knows what they're talking about better than me) is very specific, and I think it's to be trusted. --Camembert 13:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Examples

[edit]

Hi I use to have an account on here under which I was heavily active but sort of semi-retired for years and forgot my password and aren't sure about making a new account? Anyhow, I was posting about the example section. I think the compositions suffice in that they give basic demonstration and understanding to notable components of endgame studies. They are visual representations/explanations proving what is argued, just like 1+2=3 is a proving example that an odd plus an even equals an odd. Also like how the current castling example, and no other compositions of "higher notability" have been offered showing these proofs.173.89.186.121 (talk) 15:50, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, but your edit seems like promotion of many unremarkable things (and authors like Dehn and Moore). Article does not need something like XXX like a key, just because chess study usually has a point after some introduction. Article needs sections on winning (mate, domination) and drawing (stalemate, positional draw) studies. --Q Valda (talk) 18:55, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology

[edit]

This article says, "The form is considered to have been raised to an art in the late 19th century, with A. A. Troitsky and Henri Rinck particularly important in this respect." However, the article about Henri Rinck says that his first published composition was from 1902. These are mutually contradictory. Bruce leverett (talk) 05:27, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
