Riassunto

Excerpt from The Elements of Chess: A Treatise Combining Theory With Practice, and Comprising the Whole of Philidor's Games, and Explanatory Notes, New Modelled; And Arranged Upon an Original Plan

A careful examination of the subject suggested the idea of numbering the squares on the board, and mark mg such of the pieces as are liable to be mistaken. He accordingly made the experiment by playing over one of Philidor's games on a board, and with pieces, dis tinctly marked, carefully noting the numbers of the squares to correspond with Philidor's directions. The result encouraged him to proceed, and new model the whole of the games upon this plan with such alterations in the style of the notes as appeared to him necessary for general use. The work thus prepared, is now present ed to the public, under a strong impression that the method proposed, though extremely simple, and easily put in practice, will be found to answer the wishes and expectations of those who are desirous of learning the principles and practice of this ingenious and interesting game It remains for him only to point out the mode of preparing the board and pieces. This is done with a common black lead pencil, by marking on the foot of each of the following pieces of both colours, one letter, as directed below.
