Synopsis

Holmes and Watson investigate interrupted chess games, working backwards to deduce the moves that must have been played. The puzzles build in difficulty, with the method of retrograde analysis explained as the cases unfold.

The sequence culminates in a double murder attributed to Professor Moriarty, while the reader is guided through the underlying logic with the assumption of only basic knowledge of how the pieces move. Suitable for readers interested in chess problems and deductive reasoning.
