I think it would be helpful to have the chess coordinates along the edge of the board in the pictures. At least I have trouble remembering from where they originate and so on.
- Fylke
It appears that very few illustrated chess positions included in Wikipedia have a Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) tag. Why? A FEN tag would be very handy for copy/paste entry into user's own chess database.
I wish to ask why did you put the problem of mate in 271? There are several flaws in this problem: 1. It is not a typical problem 2. It doesn't have any artistic value 3. It was composed by a computer 4. It contains duals (e.g.: 20.Kd4/Kc4 or 33.Ke4/Ra4 and others) I suggest to remove it. Do you want me to chose something else here?

The links to John Rice in "Further Reading" go to an article about someone other than the problemist. I don't know what the best way would be to make this a "red link" - perhaps a more expert Wikipedian could suggest?
Incidentally, Rice was a teacher at Tiffin Boys' School when I was a pupil there 1965-71, and R C O Matthews (co-author with Lipton and Rice) is my uncle. He (Matthews) is also an eminent economist and was Master of Clare College, Cambridge (now retired) - somone should write an article on him (in all capacities)!

Publication details for this problem? Alexander George ( Talk) 13:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The Heathcote problem at the top of the article has got to be wrong (it's cooked because both 1.b4+ and 1.Qxh5+ mate, and in any case, neither solution is good enough for the problem to be published, never mind to win a first prize). Can somebody fix it? If not, it ought to be removed from the article. -- Camembert 15:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
well, I'm still a bit unclear, as there appear to be several solutions besides (better than?) the supplied one, is this typical of such compositions?-- Billymac00 00:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I stand corrected, sorry-- Billymac00 14:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
The so-called alternative solution to Heathcote's problem given by user Terraform01 is incorrect, as 1.Qd3? is refuted by 1...Rh8+! This famous problem is computer-tested and definitely has no unintended solutions. Obviously I'm removing that part from the article. Leafhopper 14:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Upgraded to High from Mid due to high linkage to article. ChessCreator ( talk) 16:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I'm admittedly a very low level problem solver, but could anyone please enlighten me as to what the mating move by white is supposed to be after white plays the key (Rh1) and black does Be6? Thanks in advance.
Terms such as "moremover" appear in the text of the article without a hyphen, but are defined in bold with a hyphen. No idea which is correct or preferred, so I don't want to blindly edit, but I wanted to note this inconsistency. I noticed it because I used ctrl+F to find all occurrences; I don't know much about chess, which is why I was reading this page. -- 76.115.3.200 ( talk) 22:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
In the "Types of Problem" section directmates are broken down into two-movers, three-movers, and more-movers. Is this distinction supported by convention? If so I think there should be a source cited for that distinction. If not it seems simpler to use a general description of an n-mover, which is basically what the more-movers definition already is for n>3. Imyourfoot ( talk) 01:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

There is one other notable competition called International Solving Contest (ISC). It's worldwide. Theoretically everyone competes against everyone, even amateur against pros. Don't know what is the situation in reality. 213.149.51.165 ( talk) 23:27, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
These two tags are correct tags of long standing. I have added headings to reduce the apparent size of the lede, and I added a inline citation which describes chess problems. I removed a short parenthetical sentence.
The current definition confuses "dressing the board" with "weasels". Dressing the board is something much older. See "Mate in Two Moves - The Two-Move Chess Problem Made Easy - Brian Harley":
"Very little development took place in problems for some hundreds of years. In fact, it was not until the nineteenth century that composers attained full art-consciousness. [...] In order to make the problem position appear as much like a game ending as possible, the composer added a number of pieces, which had no use whatever in the solution, but more or less equalised the forces. This process, known as "dressing the board," is at complete variance with the modern theory of economy of force. No. 2 is an example of the "game-players" problem; a favourable example, for the solution is not unduly long and there is not much "board-dressing."" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gresach ( talk • contribs) 04:07, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
"Chess puzzle" says that a "chess problem" deals with wins, draws, and losses specifically, while "chess puzzles" can be any chess-related puzzle. However, this article includes "Retrograde analysis problems", "shortest proof games", and "construction tasks".
To me, I think they're both the same. Originally I thought to discuss merging "chess puzzle" into "chess problem", however it seems like "chess puzzle" is more often used ( https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=chess%20puzzle,chess%20problem) (gets twice as many results in google). Also, "puzzle" is the word used on major chess websites like lichess and chess.com. So maybe "Chess problem" should be moved to "Chess puzzle" instead? AltoStev ( talk) 23:36, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
