[Retros] Probleemblad 1-2009

[Rol, Guus]

The designation "chinese puzzle" is not Harry's but my own, coming from
the dizzling sensation of endlessly moving units around in a confined
space to get to the proper configuration for the next phase. Some
chinese puzzles like tangrams give me the same feeling.

Anybody looking for a real classical retro solving challenge I can
advise Harry Goldsteen's "chinese puzzles". They are extraordinarily
difficult and ingenious, some levels up from what he published  10 years
ago. Actually, he has been composing relentlessly in those years only
cutting short on the frequency of publication. But he is working through
the backlog now!
