4.0 out of 5 stars The solution should not be printed below the diagram., May 13, 2007

This review is from: Sam Loyd and His Chess Problems (Paperback)
For Sam Lyod, the chess puzzle king, there is no need to comment. But one thing annoys me is that the solution is printed under each puzzle diagram,so one either set up the problems using a chess sets, or have to cover the solution hoping not to see the answers unintentionally. This would make the reader very inconvient!!I don't understand how such obvious thing the publihser should miss!!
