The Literature of Checkers; Embracing All the Books, Pamphlets, and Magazines on the Game of English Draughts, Commonly Known As Checkers by William Timothy Call Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... THE LITERATURE OF CHECKERS. I W1ll1am Payne. An Introduction to the Game of Draughts. London, 1756. Last page number, 67.. Present value, $15. This is the first work on the game of checkers printed in the English language. It contains fifty games, fourteen critical situations, and twenty-four stroke problems. The dedication notice and preface were written by Dr. Samuel Johnson, the lexicographer; but his name does not appear. This book has held the respect of all succeeding checker authors and compilers. A reprint, bearing the same date as the original issue, was published in (perhaps) 1795. In the original the name of the author on the title page is followed by the line, "Teacher of the Mathematics." In the reprint the word "the" is omitted from the line. In the fortysixth game of the original the word "drawn" does not appear at the end of the play. In the reprint it does appear. The tailpiece ornamenting page 59 of the original may be roughly described as a crown resting on a three-cornered table. The tailpiece to the same page of the reprint may also be roughly described as a bouquet supported by two birds. The reprint is worth $10 a copy. 2 Hoyle's Games. The first edition of this perennial handbook, a treatise on the game of whist by Edmond Hoyle, was issued in 1742. The second and third editions were issued in the succeeding year, 1743. An article on chess appeared in the edition of 1761. In 1779 Hoyle's Games, revised and corrected by Charles Jones, opened its pages to the game of checkers for the first time, by reprinting a part of Payne's work, under headlines reading as follows: "By permission of Mr. Payne; an extract from his game of draughts. Containing twenty select games, together with many critical situations for drawn...

The Origin of the Checkers and Modern Chess Game. Volume II by Govert Westerveld Pdf

This book, Volume II, at this moment is one of the most profound, rigorous and well-documented investigations ever into the history of draughts or chess. In this monumental work, around one thousand books dealing with history, bibliography, technical treatises, literature, general culture, etc. were carefully studied and referenced. The intersection between the games of chess and draughts was much greater than was first thought, as the present research demonstrates. And as could not be otherwise: with the work and cooperation of one of the all-time great figures of the history of draughts and a chess historian specialized in the medieval and renaissance period and technical bibliography, everything would out. Indeed, a solid foundation on which to accommodate a truth that had so fiercely resisted the light of day. If this were not the case, without this team work, a lot, and maybe too much, time would have gone by until everything would have finally settled into its rightful place.

The History of Checkers (Draughts) by Govert Westerveld Pdf

The modern game of chess started around 1475 in Spain when the queen and bishop got a much more powerful move. It was called ""Mad Queen Chess."" These new rules quickly spread throughout western Europe and in Spain. The enhanced move for the chess queen started after the coronation of the powerfull queen of Spain Isabella I. The historical records duly note that Queen Isabella I was crowned with the sword of justice raised in front of her, and the sceptre and throne were given to her. This allusion to the real-world event is so clear within the Scachs d'Amor poem to Isabella's actual coronation that the inspiration of Queen Isabella for the new chess queen and powerfull dama of the draughts game is unquestionable. The Spaniards like the Moors, played a game on the board of lines and called it alquerque. The game became modern draughts through being transferred to the chessboard around that time. This book is the result of at least 30 years investigations in the Spanish archives
