Hi Jim,

If you get any of those problems translated, be sure to post them.

I am very bad at Braille, so I am no help. I do know descriptive notation though so I can help there.

Hi Richard,
I don't know if you're a Braille reader. I got a book, a very old one, from the library called How Not To Play Chess. It has some problems in it, too. I
don't know what they look like. They're designed to test how well you
understand what's in the book. The book's moves are in descriptive notation. I've never tried to translate that into algebraic notation before. I think I
can do it if I sit quietly and concentrate.

Hi Jim,

Yes, the first 12 are so called warm up exercises. There are 31 problems in

total and they steadily get harder so this will take about six weeks.

We just started week three and you can look at each previous problem in the
list archives without answers if you like.

After we finish up these from the Evans book we will move on to others,
maybe tactile problems.

Dear Richard,
Are the problems in order from easy to hard by any chance? I actually
happen
to have the book, but didn't read that part yet. If they are from easy to
hard, as pretty much a beginner, speaking selfishly, I'd like to work
through them in order. So I'm purposely not looking at the answers.

Jim
