VN:.[The pleasant experience of the roundabout route (strange landscapes, gongs, tigers, exotic customs, the thrice-repeated circuit of a newly married couple around the sacred fire of an earthen brazier) would amply reward him for the misery of the deceit, and after that,]... his arrival at the simple key move would provide him with a synthesis of poignant artistic delight."]-- JA:... not because there is an ultimate answer to anything, but just because the fever itself is fun -- L Hochard: as your own quotation shows, there IS an ultimate answer to VN's chess problems, but VN says this "simple key move" gives the reader / player more pleasure if we take the "roundabout route"
JM: Isn't that a roundabout route to describe one of the multiple games related to solving chess problems? Or a "yarn-spinner's" plot?
Please, confront this to VN's: "the enchanter interests me more than the yarn-spinner or the teacher"
