96 Citaat‑Problemen Add to Watch List Watching View Watchlist >

96 Citaat‑Problemen is a classic Dutch chess problem collection centered on citaatproblemen (literally “quotation problems”). In chess composition, a citaat problem is one that deliberately echoes, quotes, or pays homage to an earlier famous problem or theme, often by reworking an idea in a new or refined way. 

The book contains 96 carefully selected problems, each designed to illustrate a specific motif, historical reference, or compositional idea. Niemeijer, who was a well-respected problemist and editor, assembled these problems to be both instructional and aesthetically pleasing, making the book suitable for serious problem solvers and composers rather than casual players. The presentation is concise and formal, typical of mid-20th-century European chess literature, with diagrams and solutions emphasizing clarity over commentary.
