Fine mouillure marginale aux dernières pages du volume. "Avec une nouvelle Notation abrégée et des Planches où se trouve figurée la situation du jeu pour les Renvois et les Fins de parties. Par l'auteur des Stratagèmes des échecs [Alfred de Montigny]. Nouvelle édition." Imprimé à Strasbourg chez Amand Koenig. Avec un portrait de l'auteur de profil en médaillon en frontispice et 42 planches hors texte en couleurs de situations de jeu. François-André Danican Philidor (1726-1795) était un musicien compositeur et un grand joueur d'échecs dont il a théorisé la pratique à travers son Analyse des échecs, publiée pour la première fois en 1749 et qui connut un grand succès. "La supériorité incontestable que Philidor conserva pendant près de cinquante ans sur les plus habiles joueurs d'échecs de l'Europe, suffirait seule pour faire apprécier le mérite de cet ouvrage, si d'ailleurs il n'était depuis long-tems reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs et des plus précieux qui aient été écrits sur la science de ce jeu. [.] Philidor publia son Analyse des Échecs en 1749 ; il n'avait alors que 23 ans, et il était déjà regardé comme le plus grand joueur de son siècle. [.] Ce ne fut que 28 ans après (en 1777) qu'il en donna une seconde édition. Le Supplément et les Fins de parties qu'il y ajouta, rendirent cet ouvrage beaucoup plus complet et en même tems plus élémentaire. Ce livre n'ayant été imprimé qu'en Angleterre et par souscription, l'édition s'en trouve aujourd'hui épuisée. J'ai donc cru rendre service aux amateurs des échecs, en leur en donnant un nouvelle, à laquelle j'ai adapté une notation abrégée plus comode et aussi intelligible que le langage ordinaire. [.] Cette nouvelle édition est donc, en quelque sorte, une traduction de l'ouvrage de Philidor dont il a fallu refondre les notes ou remarques, pour les accorder avec la notation."

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Philidor, A. D. (François-André Danican Philidor, 1726 -1795): Studies of Chess - Containing a Systematic Introduction to the Game, and the Analysis of Chess. London, 1817. Samuel Bagster. 1 plate (engraved with copper, chessboard) XXXII. 428 p. (with a portrait of Philidor on the copper-engraved illustrated title page, within the pagination), with a few engraved chess diagrams. Fifth edition. In a later modern full cloth binding. Library shelfmark and library label on the endpaper: formerly belonging to the collection of the Bath Municipal Reference Library (England), withdrawn from the collection. Stronger foxing on the copper-engraved plate and the title page, with occasional minor foxing spots on some pages. Philidor's original work, L'Analyse des échecs (Analysis of Chess), was first published in 1749 and revolutionized the game. He was the first to recognize and describe the strategic importance of pawns. The famous saying "Pawns are the soul of chess" (Les pions sont l'âme des échecs) originates from him. Before Philidor, players focused mainly on swift attacks by the pieces, but he demonstrated that a proper pawn structure determines the success of both attack and defense. This volume is an expanded, posthumously published English-language collection of his teachings. ( O,O ) /)__) , .…

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Samuel Bagster, 1803 Formatting: 8vo, 2 vols. in 1, complete with frontispiece. Condition Report: Very Good. A pleasing, complete, and structurally sound copy. The period panelled calf binding remains firm, with secure joints despite moderate rubbing and scuffing to the extremities, particularly at the spine ends and corners. The gilt tooling to the spine, including the 'Studies in Chess' titling, is slightly dulled but remains legible. The contrasting inlaid panels on the boards show surface wear consistent with age, yet present handsomely. Internally, the binding is tight. The text block is largely clean, with typical mild age-toning and sporadic instances of light foxing, most notably offsetting from the frontispiece to the title page. The marbled endpapers and page edges retain much of their original decorative character, though slightly faded. An attractive, well-preserved survivor in a highly appealing contemporary binding. Catalogue Note: First Edition, Two Volumes Bound in One. Edited anonymously by Peter Pratt, this 1803 compilation is highly prized by collectors as it incorporates the entirety of François-Andrà Danican Philidor's seminal Analyse du jeu des Ãchecs into English, alongside Sir William Jones's renowned allegorical poem, "Caissa," and Pratt's own introductory theory. Philidor, widely considered the greatest chess player of his age, shaped modern chess theory, and this work served as a standard manual for over a century. This copy is complete with the copperplate engraved frontispiece depicting a chessboard and pieces, both title pages, and the publisher's advertisement leaf at the rear. It is presented in an attractive contemporary panelled calf binding (sometimes referred to as Cambridge style) with a contrasting inlaid border, a charming period feature. Copies of the true 1803 first edition in contemporary bindings are increasingly scarce on the open market, as many surviving examples have either been broken up or heavily rebound. A cornerstone of chess literature, Studies of Chess is a magnificent early 19th-century anthology that brings together the tactical genius of François-Andrà Danican Philidor and the romantic mythology of Sir William Jones. Edited by Peter Pratt, this work features Philidor's complete, groundbreaking analysis of the game, which pioneered the strategic importance of pawns, alongside Jones's famous poem "Caissa," which immortalised the goddess of chess. This 1803 first edition provides an unparalleled glimpse into the golden age of chess theory, offering both historical instruction and enduring literary charm for the serious enthusiast.

pp. viii, 80, 83-146. [This mispagination is an original error, the text and register are continuous and complete]. Original calf, spine with raised bands and original label, the first gathering is protruding a bit from the book-block, with some early signatures relating to the PROBY family - 'Martha Proby the gift of her beloved mother. This book belonged once to my dear father', subsequently - 'A. W. Edmonds from her dear sister Martha, Feby. 1864', trifling wear at the spine ends and edges, overall a very good copy. *ESTC T120495 - The first edition, in French, was probably published in Paris in 1749, though using the false imprint of London. It was issued in a run of 443 copies, paid for by subscription and was translated into English and published in the following year by Nourse and Vaillant. These same publishers issued the second edition, offered here, in 1762. Philidor was a musical prodigy, enrolled with the choir of the Chapel-Royal in Versailles. As a pageboy in the royal chapel, he studied music with Andre Campra and learned to play chess by observing his fellow musicians play. He was also a prodigy at chess, initially having been taught by Kermur, the leading French player. In 1744 Philidor played two chess games blindfolded simultaneously in public in Paris, the first time blindfold play against 2 opponents was recorded. After various vicissitudes in his musical career, he moved to London, gaining his reputation as a world-class chess player, subsequently moving to Holland in 1748, publishing L'analyse du jeu des Eschecs in 1749. SEE The Oxford Companion to Chess : 'For the first time an author explained with detailed annotations how the middle-game should be played; for the first time the strategy of the game as a whole was described; for the first time the concepts of the blockade, prophylaxis, positional sacrifice, and mobility of the pawn formation were laid down. Philidor's famous comment, "Les pions sont l'âme du jeu" (in the English edition " the Pawns; they are the very Life of the Game"), was often misunderstood. He believed that ignorance of correct pawn play was the biggest weakness of his contemporaries. Some thought he was saying that pawns were more important than pieces, others that everything should be subordinated to the aim of promoting pawns. Philidor was also the first writer to examine a basic endgame (R + B v.R) in depth, although that was almost his only contribution to this phase of the game.'. …
