Parallel Czech, English and German text. This work deals with echo mates. M Havel contributes an essay on the subject "The charm of return" emphasizing the aesthetic features. An article by Dedrle follows, in which he explains the varieties to be found in the field of echoes and gives 28 examples. The main part of the book is made up of 674 specimens, classified according to the nature of the mates. A diagram at the top of each page shows the type of mate which is worked into the positions following on that page, enabling the reader to see how different composers treat the same theme. Included are direct mates of varying lengths, self-mates, various Fairy problems and composed end games.
