The Chess Player's Pocket-Book, and Manual of the Openings (Classic Reprint) by James Mortimer Pdf

Excerpt from The Chess Player's Pocket-Book, and Manual of the Openings The design of the chess player's pocket-book is to supply, in a compendious form, a handy-book of reference for the use of Chess players. The work is intended to supplement, and, in some degree, replace the more cumbrous and elaborate treatises on the Royal Game. Even the magnates of Chess grow occasionally rusty in some of the more intricate variations and it is hoped that they may now and then find the pocket book of utility; whilst less experienced players, by studying its pages, will be enabled to fortify themselves in all the customary modes of opening the game.

The Chess-Player's Companion by Howard Staunton Pdf

Excerpt from The Chess-Player's Companion: Comprising a New Treatise on Odds, and a Collection of Games Contested by the Author With Various Distinguished Players During the Last Ten Years No odds were yielded, and in accordance with the practice of other authors, he commenced with the analytical examination of the first moves in attack and'defence, illustrating them as he proceeded by examples from the contests of distinguished players. In this, on the contrary, his attention has been chiefly directed to the exposition of openings where one party gives odds; and he has attempted to diversify the prescriptive routine in books of the kind by beginning with the games which have been actually played, and leading the student through them to the more laborious, though to many not less attractive, task of theoretical analysis. With this object, he has 'brought together the majority of recorded games con tested by him' during the past ten years with the leading players of the time. These comprise many eminently structive examples where a Rock or a Knight are given, and a large and varied collection at the favourite odds of the Pawn and Two Moves, and the Pawn and Move. In addition to the games at odds are many notable parties upon even terms, including those of the celebrated French.

The Chess-Player's Text Book by Howard Staunton Pdf

Excerpt from The Chess-Player's Text Book: A Concise and Easy Introduction to the Game, Illustrated by Numerous Diagrams of Instructive Situations Being intended only for beginners, they are divested as much as possible of whatever might appear perplexing or repulsive and the examples for study presented in the order conceived to be the most natural and easy for apprehension. To profit fully by these examples the learner will do well, when he is thoroughly conversant with the pre liminary matter of the first six chapters, to restrict himself to the examination of one position at a sitting. Let him commence for instance, with the easy Check-mate of Diagram No. 4 and when he quite comprehends the Object of each move, proceed to the next diagram and the next, and so on through the whole, in the sequence in which they appear. He will soon master this series of short contests wherein one or two pieces only are engaged on each side, and then be in a condition to enter on the study of the openings, when the conflict is begun with the full array of both armies in opposition.

The Chess Openings (Classic Reprint) by I. Gunsberg Pdf

Excerpt from The Chess Openings MY aim in arranging this little volume has been to glve the chess student the best idea I could of every opening of the game. I have also endeavoured to present to him the methods and tactics of the soundest players, and to place him in a position for appreciating the raz'son d'ez're of the various a'eeufs. In a work of such small compass as this, it is almost impossible to do more. But I have not rested content with the tables which are to be found in most modern chess books. Every variation that appears here has been carefully examined, and I have substituted, both in the text and in the notes, my own views and lines of play. To make the handbook abreast of the times I have included some of the best variations, which have occurred in actual play between chess masters in their most recent encounters. These have never before been included in any chess hand book. I have not thought it necessary to write a general introduction to the subject, but the reader will find that I have dealt synthetically and analytically with each opening separately. The student will also find that the arrangement of the columns is of a kind which will be most helpful to him in learning or in comparing them.

The Chess Player's Chronicle, 1877, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by C. E. Ranken Pdf

Excerpt from The Chess Player's Chronicle, 1877, Vol. 1 I may be allowed to remark that, as many other variations which remain unnoticed will in all probability occur to the student in playing over the subjoined analysis, it must not too readily be assumed that they have altogether escaped observation. It is quite possible, notwithstanding the careful and patient attention bestowed upon it, that some line of play has been overlooked which would considerably strengthen the attack, or it may be the defence. I am disposed, however, in this case, to believe that the ultimate results of my investigations Will not be materially affected.
