- yesenadam 6y agoThere's a whole world of chess composition/problems. You can even be a grandmaster chess composer or solver. Some composers are legendary in the chess world, e.g. Troitzky, Sam Loyd, Kubbel. Chess problems come in various kinds, and are a bit like cryptic crosswords - they seem impossible at first but there are customs, tricks, conventions which make them easier with experience. "The role of aesthetic evaluation in the appreciation of chess problems is very significant, and indeed most composers and solvers consider such compositions to be an art form." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_problem
