,,edition4 ,the following work is designed for those who are learning the noble game of ,chess4 ,many persons have been confused and discouraged at the very outset of the study by the great variety and the delicate distinctions of the openings3 and this has constituted a fault in many otherwise excellent manuals for the learner4 ,the chief aim of the ,editor of these pages has been to avoid this fault1 by simplifying the openings1 and by giving to the student chiefly such moves as are recognized to be the best1 both in attack and defence4 ,by playing over carefully the illustrative games1 the learner will also see1 at each opening1 the variations made by experienced players in accordance with circumstances4 ,as great a variety of actually played games has been given as was possible in a work of such limited scope4 ,to this end the games of the distinguished players of different nations have been introduced1 classified according to the different openings2 and thus the reader will find the combined genius and skill of the old heroes like ,philidor1 ,morphy1 ,staunton1 ,anderssen1 ,harrwitz1 ,evans1 ,montgomery and ,cochrane1 together with such recent masters as ,lasker1 ,steinitz1 ,schlechter1 ,pillsbury1 ,marshall1 ,tarrasch1 ,janowsky1 ,tchigorin1 and many other players of world-wide celebrity4 ,the basis of this work is ,staunton's ,chess ,player's ,handbook2 but other standard books have been drawn upon to fit it to be a manual for the beginner of to-day4 ,in order to insure perfect accuracy1 all the lessons and games have been carefully gone over on the board

of ,chess is played by two persons1 each having at command a little army of sixteen men1 upon a board divided into sixty-four squares4 ,the squares are usually colored white and black1 or red and white1 alternately2 and custom has made it an indispensable regulation1 that the board shall be so placed that each player has a white square at his right-hand corner4 ,the following diagram

are called ,pawns2 and1 for the purpose of distinction1 the ,pieces and ,pawns of one party are of a different color from those of the other4 ,a ,king ,illustration3 ,chess ,pieces1 ,white and ,black

,illustration3 ,chess ,pieces1 ,white and ,black ,pawns4 making in all an array of sixteen men on each side4 ,on beginning a game1 these ,pieces and ,pawns are disposed in the manner shown on the foregoing diagram4 ,the ,king and ,queen occupy the centre squares of the first or royal line1 as it is called1 and each has for its supporters a ,bishop1 a ,knight1 and a ,rook1 while before the whole stand the ,pawns or ,foot-soldiers in a row4 7,to prevent a common error among young players1 of misplacing the ,king and ,queen on commencing a game1 it is well to bear in mind that at the outset each ,queen stands on her own color47 ,the ,pieces on the ,king's side of the board are called the ,king's1 as ,king's ,bishop1 ,king's ,knight1 ,king's ,rook2 and the ,pawns directly in front of them1 the ,king's ,pawn1 ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn1 ,king's ,knight's ,pawn1 and ,king's ,rook's ,pawn4 ,the ,pieces on the ,queen's side are1 in like manner1 called the ,queen's ,bishop1 ,queen's ,knight1 and ,queen's ,rook2 and the ,pawns before them1 ,queen's ,bishop's ,pawn1 ,queen's ,knight's ,pawn1 and ,queen's ,rook's ,pawn4 ,,movement ,,of ,,the ,,pieces ,,and ,,pawns1 ,,and ,,mode ,,of ,,capturing ,,an ,,adverse ,,man4 ,a knowledge of the moves peculiar to these several men is so difficult to describe in writing1 and so comparatively easy to acquire over the chess-board1 from any competent person1 that the learner is strongly recommended to avail himself of the latter means when practicable3 for the use1 however1 of those who have no chess-playing acquaintance at command1 the subjoined description will1 it is hoped1 suffice4 ,the ,pieces1 by which title the eight superior officers are technically designated1 in contradistinction to the ,pawns1 all take in the same direction in which they move4 ,this act consists in removing the adverse ,piece or ,pawn from the board1 and placing the captor on the square the former occupied4 ,to make this clear1 we will begin with the ,king1 and show his mode of moving and of capturing an adverse man4 ,,the ,,king4 ,the ,king can move one square only at a time 7except in ,castling1 which will be explained hereafter71 but he can make this move in any direction1 forwards1 backwards1 laterally1 or diagonally4 ,he can take any one of the adversary's men which stands on an adjoining square to that he occupies1 provided such man is left unprotected1 and he has the peculiar privilege of being himself exempt from capture4 ,he is not permitted1 however1 to move into check1 that is1 on to any square which is guarded by a ,piece or ,pawn of the enemy1 nor can he1 under any circumstance1 be played to an adjacent square to that on which the rival ,king is stationed4 ,like most of the other ,pieces1 his power is greatest in the middle of the board1 where1 without obstruction1 he has the choice of eight different squares4 ,at the sides1 he may play to any one of five1 but when in the angles of the board1 three squares only are at his command4 ,no4 #b4 ,,black4 ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ,k99 ------------------------ ,p ------------------------ ,p99

game1 and it being either party's turn to play1 he could take the adverse ,pawn from the board1 and place his ,king on the square it occupied2 and1 by doing so1 the ,king would not depart from the order of his march1 which1 as we have before said1 permits him to move one step in every direction4 ,in each of these instances we have placed the ,pawn in front of the ,king1 but he would be equally entitled to take it were it standing on any other part of the eight squares immediately surrounding him1 always provided it was not sustained or guarded by some other ,piece or ,pawn4 ,,the ,,queen4 ,the ,queen is by much the most powerful of the forces4 ,no4 #c4 ,,black4 #b ------------------------ #a ------------------------ #c ------------------------ ------------------------

in straight lines1 forwards1 backwards1 and sideways1 to the extent of the board in all directions1 and as a ,bishop1 diagonally1 with the same range4 ,to comprehend her scope of action1 place her alone in the centre of the board2 it will then be seen that she has the command of no less than twenty-seven squares1 besides the one she stands on4 7,diagram ,no4 #c47 ,thus placed in the middle of the board1 the range of the ,queen is immense4 ,she has here the option of taking any one of eight men at the extremity of the board1 on the squares respectively numbered #a1 #b1 #c1 #d1 #e1 #f1 #g1 and #h1 should her line of march be unobstructed2 and if these men were nearer1 on any of the intermediate squares1 she would be equally enabled to take any one of them at her choice4 ,like all the other ,pieces and ,pawns1 she effects the capture by removing the man from the board and stationing herself on the vacated square4 ,,the ,,rook4 ,no4 #d4 ,,black4 ------------------------ #a ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ #d ,r99 #b ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ #c ------------------------ ,,white4 ,the ,rook1 or ,castle1 is next in power to the ,queen4 ,he moves in a straight line1 forwards1 backwards1 or sideways1 having a uniform range1 on a clear board1 of fourteen squares1 exclusive of the one he occupies4 ,the ,rook has the same power in taking as the ,queen1 forwards1 backwards1 and sideways1 but he cannot1 like her1 take any man diagonally4 ,for example1 place the ,rook in the centre of the board1 and an opposing man on each of the squares numbered1 and the ,rook has the power of taking any one of the four2 and he has the same power if the ,pieces are one or two squares closer to him1 or immediately surrounding him1 in the direction indicated by the four figures4 7,see ,diagram ,no4 #d47 ,,the ,,bishop4 ,the ,bishop moves diagonally forwards or backwards1 to the extent of the ,board4 ,it follows1 therefore1 that he travels throughout the game only on squares of the same color as the one on which he stands when the game begins1 and that each player has a ,bishop running on white squares1 and one on black squares4 ,when placed on a centre square of a clear board1 he will be found to have a range of thirteen squares4 ,no4 #e4

the diagonal line on which he travels4 7,see ,diagram ,no4 #e47 ,,the ,,knight4 ,the action of the ,knight is peculiar1 and not easy to describe4 ,he is the only one of the ,pieces which has the privilege of leaping over another man4 ,the movements of the others are all dependent on their freedom from obstruction by their own and the enemy's men4 ,for example1 when the forces are duly ranged in order of battle before the commencement of the game1 the ,knight is the only one of the eight capital ,pieces which can be played before the ,pawns are moved--,king1 ,queen1 ,bishop1 and ,rook are all hemmed in by the rank of ,pawns1 which they cannot overleap2 but the ,knight1 having the liberty of springing over the heads of other men1 can be brought into the field at once4 ,his move is one square in a straight line1 and one in an oblique direction2 or it may be perhaps better understood by saying that he moves two squares in a straight line1 and one in a side direction4 ,no4 #f4 ,,black4 ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ #b #c ------------------------ #a #d ------------------------ ,n99 ------------------------ #h #e ------------------------ #g #f ------------------------ ------------------------ ,,white4 ,his power and method of taking an opponent's man will be seen from the diagram 7,no4 #f7 on page #ad4 ,in this situation1 in the centre of the board1 he would have the power of taking any one of the men stationed on the squares numbered1 by removing the man and placing himself on the vacant square4 ,,the ,,pawn4 ,the ,pawn moves only one square at a time1 and that straight forward1 except in the act of capturing1 when it takes one step diagonally to the right or left file on to the square occupied by the man taken1 and continues on that file until it captures another man4 ,it may1 however1 for its first move advance two steps1 provided no hostile ,pawn commands the first square over which he leaps1 for1 in that case1 the adverse ,pawn has the option of taking him in his passage1 as if he had moved one step only4 ,a ,pawn is the only one of the forces which goes out of his direction to capture1 and which has not the advantage of moving backwards2 but it has one remarkable privilege1 by which1 on occasions1 it becomes invaluable1 whenever it reaches the extreme square of the file on which it travels1 it is invested with the title and assumes the power of any superior ,piece1 except the ,king1 which the player chooses4 ,from this circumstance it frequently happens that one party1 by skilful management of his ,pawns1 contrives to have two1 and sometimes even three ,queens on the board at once1 a combination of force which of course is irresistible4 ,as we before observed1 the ,pawn is the only man which captures in a direction different from his line of march4 ,suppose1 at the opening of the game1 ,white begins by playing ,king's ,pawn to ,king's fourth square 7see the article on ,notation71 ,black may reply in the same manner with ,king's ,pawn to ,king's fourth square1 and neither ,pawn can do more than remain an obstruction to the onward march of the other1 but if ,black answer instead with ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn to ,bishop's fourth1 or as in the diagram1 with ,queen's ,pawn to ,queen's fourth1 then ,white1 if he choose1 may take the adverse ,pawn from the board and place his own in its stead4 ,no4 #g4 ,,black4 ------------------------ ,r99 ,n99 ,b99 ,q99 ,k99 ,b99 ,n99 ,r99 ------------------------ ,p99 ,p99 ,p99 ,p99 ,p99 ,p99 ,p99

,r ------------------------ ,,white4 ,,the ,,notation ,,adopted ,,to ,,describe ,,the ,,moves ,,of ,,the ,,men4 ,there is no portion of an elementary work on ,chess of so much importance to the learner1 and none which requires more resolute mastering than this4 ,the notation may be called the language of the game and a knowledge of it is absolutely indispensable to every one who is himself ambitious of excelling1 or who is desirous of appreciating the excellencies of other players4 ,having marshalled the men in battle order1 as shown in the first diagram1 you will observe that each party has two ranks of men1 on the first of which stand the superior ,pieces1 and on the next the eight ,pawns4 ,the eight squares which compose the first rank are each distinguished by the name of the ,piece which occupies it when the men are first arranged4 ,there are1 therefore1 the ,king's square1 the ,king's ,bishop's square1 ,king's ,knight's square1 and ,king's ,rook's square1 and in like manner1 the ,queen's square1 ,queen's ,bishop's square1 ,queen's ,knight's and ,queen's ,rook's squares4 ,the files1 that is1 the row of squares running from top to bottom of the board1 are also named by the ,pieces occupying the first square in each file4 ,thus each of the superior officers has a file or row of eight squares running from his end of the board to the corresponding ,piece of the enemy1 and every one of these eight squares takes its name from such officer4 ,bear in mind that ,white names every square on the board1 in accordance with its relative position to one of his eight ,pieces1 and that ,black does the same4 ,hence it follows that ,black's first squares are ,white's eighth1 and vice vers4 ,before proceeding further1 it will be desirable for the student to familiarize himself with the respective moves of the ,pieces1 names of the squares1 c4 ,a very little practice will enable him to do so1 especially with the aid of any friend acquainted with them4 ,he should1 in the first place1 accustom himself to the setting up the men in order of battle2 after a few repetitions of the process1 and comparing their position with diagram ,no4 #a1 he will soon have no difficulty whatever in arranging them correctly without referring to the book4 ,it will then be well to clear the board of all but a single ,piece1 and practise with that until perfect in its movements2 another1 and then another1 may be added1 until the action of every one is as familiar as the alphabet4 ,suppose1 as a first exercise1 you begin by placing your ,queen on her square 7i4e41 her first square71 then play her to ,q's #eth square1 then 7diagonally1 observe7 to ,q4 ,rook's #hth square1 then to ,king's ,rook's #hth square1 then to ,q4 ,r's square1 and then home again to her square4 ,it is proper to mention that the directions for moving a ,piece are not usually printed in full1 and that1 according to the modern abbreviations in the present and other chess-books1 these several instructions would be given thus3-- #a4 ,q4 to her sq4 #b4 ,q4 to her #eth4 #c4 ,q4 to her ,r's #hth4 #d4 ,q4 to ,k4 ,r's #hth4 #e4 ,q4 to her ,r's sq4 #f4 ,q4 to her sq4 ,as a next exercise1 put the ,queen's ,bishop on his square1 beside the ,queen1 and play him as follows3-- #a4 ,q4 ,b4 to ,k4 ,r's #fth4 #b4 ,q4 ,b4 to ,k4 ,b's #hth4 #c4 ,q4 ,b4 to ,q4 ,r's #c;d4 #d4 ,q4 ,b4 to his sq4 ,to these two ,pieces now add the ,queen's ,knight1 on his own square1 and play as follows3-- #a4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,q's #b;d4 #b4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,k's #dth4 #c4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,k4 ,b's #fth4 #d4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,k's #hth4 #e4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,q4 ,b's #gth4 #f4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,q4 ,kt's #eth4 #g4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,q4 ,b's #c;d4 #h4 ,q4 ,kt4 to his sq4 ,by taking all the ,pieces in succession thus1 you will speedily obtain sufficient knowledge of their movements to commence the opening of a game2 but before attempting this1 it is needful for you to be acquainted with the technical terms in use among chess-players1 and the code of laws which governs the game4 ,,technical ,,terms ,,in ,,use ,,among ,,chess-,,players4 ,castling4--,although1 as a general rule1 the move of the ,king is restricted to one square at a time1 he has the privilege1 under certain conditions1 once in the game1 of moving in conjunction with either of the ,rooks two squares4 ,this peculiar movement is called ,castling1 and is performed in the following manner3--,if a player wishes to castle on his ,king's side of the board1 he moves the ,king to ,k4 ,kt's sq41 and then places the ,k's ,rook on ,k4 ,b's square4 ,if he castles on the ,queen's side1 he plays his ,king to ,q4 ,b's sq1 and ,q's ,rook to ,q's sq4 ,the object of this compound move is to place the royal ,piece in safety1 and at the same time bring the ,rook from the corner square into better play4 ,the conditions under which a player is permitted to castle are3--#ast4 ,the ,king must not be in check4 #b;d4 ,the ,king must not have moved4 #c;d4 ,the ,rook must not have moved4 #dth4 ,the ,king must not pass over or on to any square attacked by an enemy's man4 ,and #eth4 ,there must be no ,piece1 either of his own or the adversary's1 between the ,king and the ,rook4 ,in exemplification of the importance of castling1 to escape from an attack1 and to retort one on the adversary1 see1 presently1 the diagram ,no4 #h 7p4 #bd74 ,check and ,checkmate4--,the ,king is said to be in check when he is attacked by any ,piece or ,pawn1 for it being a fundamental law of chess that the ,king can never be taken1 whenever any direct attack upon him is made1 he must be warned of his danger by the cry of check1 and the player is then compelled either to remove his ,king out of check1 or parry the check by interposing a man between the ,king and the attacking ,piece1 or capture the checking man4 ,when he can do none of these three things1 he is checkmated1 and the game won by the other side4 7,see diagrams ,nos4 #i and #aj47 ,when the ,king is directly attacked by the ,piece played1 it is a simple check2 but when the ,piece moved does not itself give check1 but unmasks another which does1 it is called a discovered check4 7,see diagram ,no4 #h47 ,the third species of check is named the double check1 where the ,king is attacked both by the ,piece moved and the one discovered4 ,the fourth description is called perpetual check1 a case which arises when a player has two or more squares on which he can give check1 and his opponent can only parry one check by affording an opportunity for another4 ,if the first player then persists in the repetition of these particular checks1 the game must be abandoned as drawn4 7,see diagram ,no4 #aa74 ,doubled ,pawn4--,when two ,pawns of the same color are on the same file1 the front one is called a doubled pawn4 ,drawn ,game4--,when neither party can give checkmate1 the game is drawn4 ,this may arise from several causes1 as3--#ast4 ,perpetual check4 #b;d4 ,where there is not sufficient force to effect a mate1 as a ,king and a ,knight only1 or a ,king and two ,knights1 c41 c4 #c;d4 ,where one party has force sufficient1 but is ignorant of the proper mode of applying it1 and thus fails to checkmate his helpless adversary within the fifty moves prescribed by the ,code4 #dth4 ,where both parties persist in repeating the same move from fear of each other4 #eth4 ,where both parties are left with the same force at the end1 as a ,queen against a ,queen1 a ,rook against a ,rook1 and the like1 when1 except in particular cases1 the game should be resigned as a drawn battle4 ,and #fth4 ,when one of the ,kings is stalemated4 ,en ,prise4--,when a ,piece or ,pawn is in a situation to be taken by the enemy1 it is said to be en prise4 ,to put a piece en prise1 is to play it so that it may be captured4 ,the ,exchange4--,when a player gains a ,rook for a ,bishop or a ,knight1 it is termed winning the exchange4 ,false ,move4--,any illegal move1 such as castling when the ,king has been moved or is in check1 moving a ,rook diagonally1 or a ,bishop like a ,knight1 is called a false or an impossible move4 ,fool's ,mate4--,this is the simplest of all checkmates1 being accomplished in two moves in the following manner3-- ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,k4 ,kt4 ,p4 to ,k4 ,kt's #dth4 #a4 ,k4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #b4 ,k4 ,b4 ,p4 to ,k4 ,b's #dth4 #b4 ,q4 to ,k4 ,r's #eth1 checkmate4 ,it cannot possibly be given by the first player4 ,forced ,move4--,when a player has one only legal move at command1 it is said to be a forced move4 ,gambit4--,this word is derived from an ,italian phrase in wrestling1 and signifies a movement by which the adversary is tripped up4 ,in chess1 this is attempted by the first player putting a ,pawn en prise of the enemy early in the game1 by which he is enabled more rapidly and effectually to develope his superior ,pieces4 ,there are several gambits1 but the most important1 and one which includes many others1 is the ,king's gambit1 commenced as follows3-- ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,k4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #a4 ,k4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #b4 ,k4 ,b4 ,p4 to ,b's #dth4 #b4 ,p4 takes ,k4 ,b4 ,p4 ,the ,pawn offered by the first player here at his second move is called the ,gambit ,pawn1 and when taken by the adversary the opening becomes a gambit4 ,the varieties of the gambits are often designated by the names of the players who invented or first brought them into vogue--as the ,muzio gambit1 the ,salvio gambit1 the ,allgaier gambit1 the ,lopez gambit2 while others obtain their names from the opening moves of the first player1 as the ,king's ,bishop's gambit1 which begins thus3-- ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,k4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #a4 ,k4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #b4 ,k4 ,b4 ,p4 to ,b's #dth4 #b4 ,p4 takes ,p4 #c4 ,k4 ,b4 to ,q4 ,b's #dth4 and is so called because the ,k's ,bishop is played out at the #c;d move instead of the ,k's ,knight4 ,there is also the ,queen's gambit1 of which the opening moves are-- ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,q4 ,p4 to ,q's #dth4 #a4 ,q4 ,p4 to ,q's #dth4 #b4 ,q4 ,b4 ,p4 to ,b's #dth4 #b4 ,p4 takes ,p4 ,the gambits are the most brilliant and animated of all the openings1 full of hair-breadth 'scapes and perilous vicissitudes1 but affording an infinitude of beautiful and daring combinations4 ,giuoco ,piano1 a solid and instructive modification of the ,king's ,knight's game1 is safe and for drawing games generally practised by the leading players4 ,the opening moves are3 ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #a4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #b4 ,k4 ,kt4 to ,b's #c;d4 #b4 ,q4 ,kt4 to ,b's #c;d4 #c4 ,k4 ,b4 to ,q4 ,b's #dth4 #c4 ,k4 ,b4 to ,q4

attacking ,piece4 ,isolated ,pawn4--,a ,pawn which stands alone1 without the support and protection of other ,pawns1 is termed an isolated ,pawn4 ,j'adoube4--,a ,french expression1 signifying ,i arrange1 or ,i replace1 which is used by a player when he touches a man merely to adjust its position on the board1 without intending to play it4 7,see the #gth law47 ,minor ,pieces4--,the ,bishop and ,knight1 in contradistinction to the ,queen and ,rook1 are called ,minor ,pieces4 ,the ,opposition4--,a player is said to have the opposition when he can place his ,king directly in front of the adverse ,king1 with only one square between them4 ,this is often an important advantage in ending games4 ,party4--,from the ,french partie4 ,frequently used by modern writers instead of the word game4 ,passed ,pawn4---,a ,pawn is said to be a passed one when the adversary has no ,pawn to obstruct its march on the same file1 or on either of the next files to the right or left4 ,pion ,coiff1 or ,marked ,pawn4--,this is a description of odds but rarely given1 and only when there is a vast disparity between the skill of the players4 ,it consists in one party placing a cap or ring on one of his ,pawns1 and undertaking to checkmate his opponent with that particular ,pawn4 ,he is not allowed to ,queen the ,pawn1 and if he loses it1 or happens to checkmate his opponent with any other man1 he forfeits the game4 ,the ,pawn usually capped is the ,king's ,knight's1 because it can be more readily and effectually surrounded by protecting ,pieces4 ,to ,queen a ,pawn1 or to advance a ,pawn to ,queen4--,when a player has contrived to advance a ,pawn to the eighth or last square of the file1 it assumes the rank and power of a ,queen1 or of any other ,piece he chooses1 and he is then said to have queened his ,pawn4 7,see the #bast law47 ,scholar's ,mate4--,a checkmate occasionally given at the opening of a game by a practised player to one but little tutored in the science4 ,the following are the moves3-- ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #a4 ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #b4 ,k4 ,b4 to ,q4 ,b's #dth4 #b4 ,k4 ,b4 to ,q4 ,b's #dth4 #c4 ,q4 to ,k4 ,r's #eth4 #c4 ,q4 ,p4 one4 #d4 ,q4 takes ,k4

,stalemate4--,when one party has his ,king so circumstanced that1 not being at the moment in check1 he cannot play him without going into check1 and at the same time has no other ,piece or ,pawn to move instead1 he is said to be stalemated1 and the game is considered drawn4 7,see diagram ,no4 #ac47 ,taking a ,pawn en ,passant1 or in ,passing4--,it has been shown before1 in speaking of the action of the ,pawn1 that he is limited in his march to one square forward at a time1 when not capturing1 and one square forward diagonally1 either to the right or left1 when he takes an adversary1 but that he has the privilege1 on being first played in the game1 to advance two squares1 unless in so doing he pass a square which is attacked by a hostile ,pawn2 in which case the opponent may1 at his option1 permit him to make the two steps forward1 and there remain1 or may capture him in his passage in the same way as if he had moved but one step4 ,,illustrations ,,of ,,technical ,,terms4 ,the

chess-men on your board exactly in the order they stand in the diagram2 having done this1 suppose yourself to be playing the ,white men1 and take the ,black ,king's ,pawn with your ,queen1 in the manner before shown1 i4e41 by taking the ,pawn from the board and stationing your ,queen on the square it occupied4 ,by this act1 you not only take his ,pawn1 but you attack his ,king1 and must apprise him of his danger by calling check4 ,he has now two ways only of parrying this check4 ,it is clear he cannot move his ,king1 because the only two squares to which he could move without going into check are occupied by his own men2 he is forced then either to take the ,queen with his ,k4 ,b's ,pawn1 or to interpose the ,bishop at ,king's second square4 ,if he take the ,queen with his ,k4 ,b's ,pawn1 you must reply by playing your ,king's ,bishop 7which you will know by the color of the diagonal on which he travels7 to ,k4 ,kt's sixth square1 crying check4 ,examine the position attentively1 and you will find that ,black has no square to which he can move his ,king1 the only vacant one being attacked by your ,queen's ,bishop1 that he has nothing wherewith to take the ,bishop that has given check1 and neither ,piece nor ,pawn with which to interpose between it and his ,king1 and that consequently1 he is not only checked1 but checkmated4 ,in like manner1 if1 at his first

,an attempt to establish a scale of powers whereby the relative values of the several men could be estimated with mathematical exactitude1 although it has frequently engaged the attention of scientific minds1 appears to be an expenditure of ingenuity and research upon an unattainable object4 ,so ever varying1 so much dependent on the mutations of position which every move occasions1 and on the augmented power which it acquires when combined with other forces1 is the proportionate worth of this with that particular man1 that it would seem to be beyond the reach of computation to devise a formula by which it can be reckoned with precision4 ,but still an approximation to correctness has been made1 and the result arrived at gives the following as the ultimate respective values3-- ,pawn #a4jj ,knight #c4je ,bishop #c4ej ,rook #e4dh ,queen #i4id ,the ,king1 from the nature of the game1 which does not admit of his being exchanged or captured1 is invaluable1 and he is not1 therefore1 included in the calculations4 ,the ,pawn1 it is seen1 is the least valuable of all the men1 the ,knight being worth at least three ,pawns4 ,the ,bishops and ,knights are practically considered of equal value1 although there is a difference in the estimate here given4 ,a ,rook is of the value of five ,pawns and a fraction1 and may be exchanged for a minor ,piece and two ,pawns4 ,two ,rooks may be exchanged for three minor ,pieces4 ,the ,queen is usually reckoned equal1 in average situations1 to two ,rooks and a ,pawn1 but towards the end of a game she is hardly so valuable as two ,rooks4 ,these comparative values may be of service to the student in general cases of exchanging men1 but he will find in practice the relative worth of his soldiers is modified by so many

been unoccupied throughout the game1 and provided the ordinary conditions as to squares and the ,king are complied with4 ,v4 ,when the odds of a ,pawn1 ,knight1 ,bishop1 or ,rook1 are given1 it is understood that the ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn1 or the ,queen's ,knight1 ,queen's ,bishop or ,queen's ,rook1 is intended unless special agreement to the contrary is made4 ,,general ,,rules ,,and ,,observations4 ,concerning the ,king4--,it is mostly advisable to castle the ,king pretty early in the game1 and to do so on the ,king's side1 because he is less subject to an attack1 and better able to repel one on that side than the other4 ,be fearful1 when castled on the ,king's side1 of permitting an adverse ,knight to gain safe possession of your ,king's ,bishop's #dth square1 and remember that it is seldom prudent in an inexperienced player to advance the ,pawns on the side his ,king has castled4 ,be cautious of playing your ,queen in front of your ,king and in subjecting yourself to a discovered check4 ,it is better when check is given to your ,king to interpose a man that attacks the checking ,piece than with one that does not4 ,beware of giving useless checks to your adversary's ,king1 but when1 by checking1 you can oblige him to move1 and thus deprive him of the right to castle1 it is generally good play to do so4 ,it is sometimes useful to give a series of checks1 and even sacrifice a ,piece1 to force the ,king into the middle of the board1 where he may be subjected to the attacks of your other men4 ,do not in all cases take an enemy's ,pawn which stands before your ,king1--it may serve sometimes as a protection to him2 and bear in mind that towards the termination of a game1 especially when the superior ,pieces have been taken off the field1 the ,king should be made to compensate for his previous inactivity1 by being busily engaged4 ,the fate of the game is then dependent for the most part on the skill displayed in the management of the ,king4 ,concerning the ,queen4--,the ,queen is so powerful and important a ,piece at chess that she should rarely be employed to defend or attack any point if you can do it as well with a subordinate4 ,it is not good to play the ,queen out in the game at the beginning1 because she can be attacked by inferior ,pieces1 and is compelled to retire with the loss of many moves4 ,be careful1 too1 when about to capture a distant ,pawn or ,piece1 that you do not remove your ,queen too far from the immediate point of action4 ,a skilful player will often permit you to win a ,pawn with the ,queen1 that he may prevent her returning in time to rescue your ,king from his attack4 ,the power of the ,queen is wonderfully greater when she is aided and protected by other ,pieces than when she goes forth unsupported2 it is generally injudicious1 therefore1 to make an attack with her unless in combination with some other of your forces4 ,concerning the ,rook4--,the ,rook is a most important officer1 yet few players even amongst the best avail themselves sufficiently of his power4 ,he has seldom much scope for action in the early part of the engagement1 but when the field is thinned no time should be lost in bringing him into action4 ,you should then endeavor to double your ,rooks1 that is1 to place them one before the other on the same file3 in this situation1 mutually sustaining one another1 their potency on a clear field is equal to the ,queen's4 ,it is usually good play to get command of an open file1 that is to say1 a file which is occupied by no other man1 by stationing a ,rook at one end of it4 ,when you have thus gained possession of the file1 should your opponent try to dispossess you of it1 by playing one of his ,rooks on the same file1 it is frequently better to defend with your other ,rook than to take his or remove your own4 ,you will often embarrass your adversary1 too1 if you can manage to post a ,rook on his second rank1 say at your ,king's #gth or ,queen's #gth square4 ,in this position he generally makes an attack on the ,pawns unmoved1 and compels the enemy to lose time in defending them1 while you can bring more forces into action4 ,one of the strongest reasons for playing out your ,pieces early in the battle1 is1 that while at home they are not only themselves inactive1 but they utterly retard the movements of your ,rooks4 ,in an unskilfully developed game it is a common occurrence to see the victory won before the defeated player's ,rooks have ever moved4 ,concerning the ,bishop4--,when the game is opened by each party with ,king's ,pawn to ,king's #dth square1 the ,king's ,bishop is somewhat superior to the ,queen's1 because it can be sooner brought into play1 and may be made to bear immediately on the ,king's weak point1 his ,bishop's ,pawn4 ,it is desirable therefore generally to exchange your ,queen's ,bishop or ,queen's ,knight for the adversary's ,king's ,bishop4 ,the ,king's ,bishop should rarely or never be played to the ,queen's #c;d square before the ,queen's ,pawn is moved4 ,his best position1 as we have remarked above1 is to ,queen's ,bishop's #dth square1 where he attacks the opponent's ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn4 ,if your antagonist then challenges an exchange of ,bishops by moving his ,queen's ,bishop to ,king's #c;d square1 it is not always prudent to accept it1 because although you may double the ,pawns on his ,king's file1 you at the same time afford him an open range for his ,king's ,rook when he has castled4 ,the best play in such a case is1 therefore1 to retreat your ,king's ,bishop to ,queen's ,knight's #c;d square4 ,be careful1 as a general rule1 in an open game1 not to move your ,queen's ,pawn one square before you bring out the ,king's ,bishop1 as by so doing you leave him but the ,king's #b;d square on which to move1 and there his position is defensive rather than attacking4 ,if strong in ,pawns towards the conclusion of the game1 endeavor to get rid of the enemy's ,bishops1 because they can impede the march of your ,pawns more readily than either the ,rooks or ,knights4 ,when the other men are exchanged off1 and you remain with a ,bishop and two or three ,pawns1 it is often proper to keep your ,pawns on squares of a different color from those on which your ,bishop travels1 as he can then prevent the opposing ,king from approaching them4 ,if1 however1 you have the worst of the game1 it is mostly better then to keep them on the same color as the ,bishop1 that he may defend them4 ,supposing you have ,pawns only at the end of a game1 and the adversary has a ,bishop1 it is generally advisable to move the ,pawns as soon as possible to squares of a different color from the diagonals on which he moves4 ,do not indiscriminately exchange your ,bishops for ,knights1 or vice vers4 ,two ,bishops at the finish of a game are stronger than two ,knights1 and one ,knight generally more useful than a single ,bishop4 ,concerning the ,knight4--,the ,knight is at once the most striking and most beautiful of all the ,pieces4 ,the singularity of its evolutions1 by which it is enabled to overleap the other men and wind its way into the penetralia of the adverse ranks1 and if attacked leap back again within the boundary of its own1 has rendered it the favorite ,piece of leading players in every country4 ,the assault of the ,knight is more subtle and dangerous than that of any other ,piece1 because he attacks without putting himself en prise1 and his attack can never be resisted by the interposition of another man4 ,at the commencement of a game1 the best place for the ,king's ,knight is at ,k4 ,b's #c;d sq42 it there attacks your adversary's ,k's ,pawn1 if it has been moved two squares1 and offers no impediment to the playing out your ,king's ,bishop1 and prevents the adversary from placing his ,queen on your ,king ,rook's #dth sq41 where she would often be a source of restraint and danger to your ,king4 ,many persons prefer playing the ,k4 ,kt4 to ,k's #b;d at the second move1 from the mistaken notion that the ,k4 ,b's ,p4 should be moved before the ,knight is played to ,b's #c;d2 this is an error1 and generally leads to a very bad game4 ,when you have brought out your ,q4 ,kt4 to ,b's #c;d1 it is frequently advisable1 at a proper opportunity1 to get him round by ,k's #b;d sq4 to the ,k4 ,kt's #c;d1 where he exercises a very important influence1 by threatening1 whenever the square is left unguarded1 to post himself on ,k4 ,b's #eth4 ,a ,knight with three or four ,pawns1 at the end of a game1 has an advantage over a ,bishop with an equal number of ,pawns1 because he can leap from white to black1 and thus attack the ,pawns on either colored squares1 whereas the ,bishop can attack them only when they move on squares of the color of his diagonals4 ,in similar circumstances1 however1 he is not so useful in defending as a ,bishop or a ,rook1 since if forced to remove he ceases to defend1 while the ,rook or ,bishop may retreat and still protect4 ,concerning the ,pawns4--,struck by the scope and power of the higher ,pieces1 young players commonly overlook the homely ,pawns1 or deem them scarcely worthy of regard1 and are amazed to learn that the combinations of these simple elements are among the most refined and arduous studies of the science4 ,yet such is the fact1 and without a thorough comprehension of their quiet but remarkable predominance in almost every circumstance of the game1 it is impossible for any one to attain a high degree of excellence4 ,it is generally advantageous for your ,pawns to occupy the middle of the board1 because when there they greatly retard the movements of the opposing forces4 ,the ,king's ,pawn and ,queen's ,pawn1 at their fourth squares1 are well posted1 but it is not easy to maintain them in that position1 and if you are driven to advance one of them1 the power of both is much diminished4 ,it is well1 therefore1 not to be too eager to establish two ,pawns abreast in the centre until you are fully able to sustain them there4 ,when you have two ,pawns abreast1 the ,king and ,queen's1 for instance1 at their fourth squares1 should the adversary attack one of them with a ,pawn1 it is occasionally better to advance the ,pawn that is attacked another step1 than to take the ,pawn4 ,the ,pawns1 however1 should seldom be far advanced1 unless they can be properly sustained by the ,pieces4 ,pawns at their fourth squares are therefore mostly more powerful than at their sixth4 ,the ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn having no support but that of the ,king1 is usually the point to which the first attack is directed1 and more than ordinary care should be taken to preserve it4 ,it is rarely good play to move the ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn to ,bishop's #c;d early in the game4 ,as a general rule1 it is not advisable to move ,king's ,knight's ,pawn or ,queen's ,knight's ,pawn early in the game4 ,the former played to ,k4 ,kt's #c;d square will often allow your adversary to play his ,queen's ,bishop to your ,king's ,rook's #c;d square1 a dangerous move when you have castled on ,king's side4 ,after castling1 it is generally proper not to move the ,knight's ,pawn that is before your ,king1 until you are obliged4 ,in a diagonal line of ,pawns you should endeavor to preserve the ,pawn at the head of them4 ,pawns1 when united1 have great strength2 but when separated1 their power is sensibly lessened4 ,a passed ,pawn is mostly serviceable when supported by another ,pawn4 ,a doubled ,pawn is not in all cases a disadvantage1 especially if it is united with other ,pawns4 ,the worst kind of doubled ,pawn is one on a ,rook's file2 while the most advantageous is the ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn doubled on the ,king's file1 because it strengthens your middle ,pawns and opens a file for your ,king's ,rook4 ,the ,pawn being less important than a ,piece1 it is usually better to defend with it than with a ,piece4 ,for the same reason it is likewise better to protect a ,pawn with a ,pawn than with a ,piece4 ,no ,piece can interpose between the attack of a ,pawn1 it can therefore frequently check the ,king with great advantage4 ,be cautious generally of advancing the ,pawns far on either side1 till you see on which your opponent castles2 and remember1 when approaching the end of a game1 where you have ,pawns1 or even a ,pawn1 against a minor ,piece1 that you may win1 but that your opponent1 except in very rare cases1 cannot1 and that two ,pawns in any situation can protect themselves against the adverse ,king4 ,,maxims ,,and ,,advice ,,for ,,an ,,inexperienced ,,player4 ,there is nothing that will improve you so much as playing with good players2 never refuse1 therefore1 when any one offers you odds1 to accept them3 you cannot expect a proficient to feel much interest in playing with you upon even terms1 and as you are sure to derive both amusement and instruction from him1 it is but fair that he should name the conditions4 ,it will soon happen that you yourself will be able to give odds to many amateurs whom you meet2 when this is the case1 avoid1 if possible1 playing them even1 or you are likely to acquire an indolent1 neglectful habit of play1 which it will be very difficult to throw off4 ,never permit your hand to hover over the board1 or indeed to approach it1 until you have completely made up your mind what ,piece to move2 a contrary habit begets a feeling of indecision that is fatal to success4 ,play invariably according to the laws of the game1 neither taking back a move yourself1 nor allowing your opponent to recall one4 ,do not exhibit impatience when your adversary is long in making his move4 ,his slowness is a tacit compliment to your skill1 and enables you to play with proportionate quickness1 because while he is meditating on his next step you can take advantage of the time to consider what shall be your rejoinder2 besides1 it is absolutely necessary for every one desirous of excelling at chess to play slowly4 ,a fine player examines occasionally from five to twenty or more moves on each side3 can this be done in a moment8 ,it is easy enough to play quick against inferior play2 but against equal and very good play one cannot play quick without losing4 ,learn to play indifferently either with the white or black men4 ,do not play too many games at a sitting--and never suffer the loss of a game to occasion you much disquietude4 ,think of how many thousand games a ,philidor must have lost before he attained his highest excellence2 besides1 the loss of one well-fought game with a fine practitioner will do more towards your improvement than the gain of ten light skirmishes with weaker players than yourself4 ,endeavor to play all your ,pieces equally well4 ,many young players have a predilection for a particular ,piece1 as the ,knight or the ,queen1 and lose both time and position in trying to prevent exchanges of their favorite4 ,in opening your game1 endeavor to bring your superior officers into action speedily1 but avoid all premature attacks4 ,take care not to play a ,piece to a square where it impedes the action of another1 and beware of venturing an unsupported ,piece in the adversary's game4 ,if subjected to a violent attack1 you may often disconcert your opponent by compelling the exchange of two or three ,pieces4 ,when1 however1 you are about to exchange officers1 you must calculate not only their ordinary value1 but their peculiar worth in the situation in question2 for example1 a ,rook is generally more valuable than a ,knight or a ,bishop2 but it will happen1 that by exchanging a ,rook for one of the latter you may greatly improve your game4 ,it is mostly good play to exchange the ,pieces off when you are superior in power1 so that when you have the odds of a ,piece given to you by a finished player1 you should endeavor to exchange as often as you can consistently with safety4 ,when an exchange of two or more ,pieces appears inevitable1 look closely to see whether it is better for you to take first or to compel your opponent to do so4 ,when one of the enemy is completely in your power1 do not be too eager to make the capture--there may perhaps be a move of importance which you can make before you take him4 ,beware also of snatching hastily a proffered man1 it may be only given as a bait to catch a more important advantage from you4 ,if at the end of a game you remain with ,pawns against a ,knight and find it difficult to evade his repeated checks1 recollect that by placing your ,king on the same diagonal as the ,knight1 with but one intervening square between them1 you cannot again be checked under three moves4 ,when you have lost a game which has cost you great attention1 it is a good practice to play it over afterwards in private1 and endeavor to discover where the error occurred through which your opponent gained his first advantage4 ,this custom will improve both your memory and your play4 ,,on ,,the ,,several ,,openings ,,or ,,beginnings ,,of ,,games4 ,before proceeding to the consideration of the various methods of commencing the game1 it is advisable for you to recur to the preceding sections1 which treat of the arrangement of the men--the moves of the men--their relative powers--the technical terms in use among players--and the laws of the game4 ,when you have familiarized yourself with these1 it will be time for you to direct your attention to that most important feature in the game of chess--the art of opening the game4 ,there are several modes of beginning the game1 but the following are the principal3-- #ast4 ,each player begins by moving his ,king's ,pawn to ,king's #dth square1 and the first player then moves ,king's ,knight to ,king's ,bishop's #c;d square4 ,this is called the ,king's ,knight's opening4 #b;d4 ,each player commences by moving his ,king's ,pawn to ,king's #dth square1 and then he who has the first move plays ,king's ,bishop to ,queen's ,bishop's #dth square4 ,this is known as the ,king's ,bishop's opening4 #c;d4 ,each player opens with ,king's ,pawn to ,king's #dth square1 and the first plays ,queen's ,bishop's ,pawn to ,bishop's #c;d square4 ,this is termed the ,queen's ,bishop's ,pawn's opening4 #dth4 ,each player begins with ,king's ,pawn to ,king's #dth square1 and the first follows with ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn to ,bishop's #dth square4 ,this is called the ,king's gambit4 ,of these four openings on the ,king's side there are many modifications1 of which each has its appropriate appellation2 there are also several openings begun on the ,queen's side1 but the four above-named are those most generally practised1 and with them you should be thoroughly conversant before advancing further4 ,,preliminary ,,game4 ,preparatory to the investigation of the several openings treated of in the following chapters1 it may not be uninstructive to give a short game which shall exhibit the application of some technical phrases in use at chess1 and at the same time show a few of the most prominent errors into which an inexperienced player is likely to fall4 ,in this game1 as in all the analyses which follow1 the reader will be supposed to play the ,white ,pieces and to have the first move1 although1 as it has been before remarked1 it is advisable for you to accustom yourself to play with either ,black or ,white1 for which purpose it is well to practise the attack1 first with the ,white and then with the ,black ,pieces4 ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,k's ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 #a4 ,k's ,p4 to ,k's #dth4 ,when the men are first arranged in battle order1 it is seen that the only ,pieces which have the power of moving are the ,knights1 and that to liberate the others it is indispensably necessary to move a ,pawn4 ,now1 as the ,king's ,pawn1 on being moved1 gives freedom both to the ,queen and to the ,king's ,bishop1 it is more frequently played at the beginning of the game than any other4 ,you will remember1 in speaking of the ,pawns it was shown that on certain conditions they have the privilege of going either one or two steps when they are first moved4 #b4 ,k's ,b4 to ,q's ,b's #dth4 #b4 ,k's ,b4 to ,q's ,b's #dth4 ,thus far the game illustrative of the ,king's ,bishop's opening is correctly begun4 ,each party plays his ,king's ,bishop thus1 because it attacks the most vulnerable point of the adverse position1 viz41 the ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn4 #c4 ,q4 ,b's ,pawn to ,b's #c;d4 #c4 ,q's ,knight to ,b's #c;d4 ,in playing this ,pawn your object is afterwards to play ,queen's ,pawn to ,queen's #dth square1 and thus establish your ,pawns in the centre2 but ,black foresees the intention1 and thinks to prevent its execution by bringing another ,piece to bear upon the square4 #d4 ,q's ,pawn to ,q's #dth4 #d4 ,pawn takes ,q's ,pawn4 #e4 ,q's ,b's ,pawn takes ,pawn4 #e4 ,k's ,b4 takes ,pawn4 ,here you have played without due consideration4 ,black's third move of ,queen's ,knight to ,bishop's #c;d square was a bad one1 and afforded you an opportunity of gaining a striking advantage1 but omitting this1 you have enabled him to gain a valuable ,pawn for nothing4 ,observe1 now1 your reply to his third move was good enough1 7#d4 ,queen's ,pawn to ,queen's #dth square71 but when he took your ,pawn with his1 instead of taking again1 you ought to have taken his ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn with your ,bishop1 giving check3 the game would then most probably have gone on thus3-- #e4 ,k's ,b4 takes ,k4 ,b4 ,pawn 7ch47 #e4 ,k4 takes ,bishop4 #f4 ,queen to ,k4 ,r's #eth 7check74 #f4 ,k4 to his ,b's square4 #g4 ,queen takes ,k's ,bishop 7check74 ,in this variation1 you see ,black has lost his ,king's ,bishop's ,pawn1 and what is worse1 has lost his privilege of castling1 by being forced to move his ,king2 and although for a moment he had gained a ,bishop for a ,pawn1 it was quite clear that he must lose a ,bishop in return by the check of the adverse ,queen at ,king's ,rook's #eth square4 ,it is true that he need not have taken the ,bishop1 but still his ,king must have moved1 and ,white could then have taken the ,king's ,knight with his ,bishop1 having always the better position4 ,but now to proceed with the actual game3-- #f4 ,k's ,knight to ,k's ,b's #c;d4 #f4 ,queen to ,k's ,b's #c;d4 ,bringing out the ,knight is good play2 you not only threaten to win his ,bishop1 but you afford yourself an opportunity of castling whenever it may be needful4 ,black would have played better in retiring the ,bishop from the attack to ,queen's ,knight #c;d square than in supporting it with the ,queen4 #g4 ,knight takes ,bishop4 #g4 ,queen takes ,knight4 ,both parties played well in their last moves4 ,you rightly took off the ,bishop1 because supported by the ,queen he menaced your ,queen's ,kt's ,pawn1 and ,black properly retook with his ,queen instead of the ,knight1 because having a ,pawn ahead1 it was his interest to exchange off the ,queens4 #h4 ,q's ,knight to ,q's #b;d4 #h4 ,k's ,knight to ,b's #c;d4 ,you played correctly here in not exchanging ,queens1 and also in protecting your ,bishop and your ,king's ,pawn1 both of which were attacked by the adverse ,queen2 but all this might have been done without impeding the movements of any of your ,pieces1 by simply playing ,queen to ,king's #b;d sq42 as it is1 the ,knight entirely shuts your ,queen's ,bishop from the field4 ,black properly brings another ,piece to the attack of your ,king's ,pawn3-- #i4 ,k4 ,b's ,pawn to ,b's #c;d4 #i4 ,q's ,knight to ,king's #dth4 ,in protecting the ,king's ,pawn with your ,k4 ,bishop's ,pawn1 you are guilty of a very common error among young players2 as you improve1 you will find that it is rarely good play to move the ,k4 ,bishop's ,pawn to the third square--in the present instance1 for example1 you have deprived yourself of the power of castling1 at least for some time1 since the adverse ,queen now commands the very square upon which your ,king1 in castling on his own side1 has to move4 ,black's last move is much more sensible4 ,he again attacks your ,bishop1 and by the same move brings his ,q's ,knight into co-operation with the ,king's1 on the weak point of your position3-- #aj4 ,pawn to ,q4 ,kt's #c;d4 #aj4 ,q4 takes ,queen's ,rook4 ,this is a serious blunder indeed4 ,in your anxiety to save the threatened ,bishop1 which you feared to withdraw to ,q4 ,kt's #c;d sq41 on account of the adverse ,knight's giving check at your ,queen's #c;d square1 you have actually left your ,q's ,rook en prise6 ,black takes it1 of course1 and having gained such an important advantage1 ought to win easily4 #aa4 ,castles1 7i4e41 plays #aa4 ,q's ,kt4 takes ,bishop4 ,k to his ,kt's sq41 and ,rook to ,k4 ,b's sq47 #ab4 ,kt4 takes ,kt4 #ab4 ,castles4 #ac4 ,queen to her #b;d4 #ac4 ,q4 ,b's ,pawn to ,b's #dth4 ,your last move is very subtle2 finding the mistake that ,black had committed in not retreating his ,queen directly after winning the ,rook1 you determine1 if possible1 to prevent her escape by gaining command of all the squares she can move to4 ,seeing the danger1 ,black throws forward this ,pawn to enable him1 if possible1 to bring the ,queen off1 by playing her to her #eth sq41 giving check4 #ad4 ,bishop to ,q4 ,kt's #b;d4 #ad4 ,q4 takes ,q4 ,r's ,pawn4 ,this move of the ,bishop is well timed2 it does not1 to be sure1 prevent the ,queen from escaping for a move or two1 but it gives you an attack1 and very great command of the field4 #ae4 ,q4 to ,k4 ,kt's #eth4 #ae4 ,knight to ,k's sq4 ,very well played on both sides4 ,by playing the ,queen to ,k4 ,kt's #eth1 you threatened to win his ,knight by at once taking it with your ,bishop1 which he could not retake without opening check on his ,king4 ,instead of so moving1 you might have played the ,knight to ,q4 ,rook's #eth sq41 in which case1 by afterwards moving the ,rook to ,q4 ,rook's square1 it would have been impossible for his ,queen to get away4 #af4 ,q4 to ,king's #c;d4 #af4 ,k4 ,r's ,pawn to ,r's #c;d4 ,you prudently retreated your ,queen to guard her ,knight's ,pawn1 which it was important to save1 on account of its protection to the ,knight4 ,black played the ,king's ,r's ,pawn to prevent your ,queen returning to the same post of attack4 #ag4 ,k4 ,r's ,p4 to ,r's #c;d4 #ag4 ,k4 to his ,r's sq4 ,here are two instances of what is called lost time at chess1 neither move serving in the slightest degree to advance the game of the player4 ,that you should have overlooked the opportunity of gaining the adverse ,queen was to be expected4 ,similar advantages present themselves in every game between young players1 and are unobserved4 #ah4 ,k4 ,b's ,pawn to ,b's #dth4 #ah4 ,q4 ,kt's ,pawn to ,kt's #c;d4 ,again you have failed to see a most important move2 you might have taken the ,k4 ,rook's ,pawn with your ,queen1 giving check safely1 because ,black could not take your ,queen without being in check with your ,bishop4 ,all this time1 too1 your opponent omits to see the jeopardy his ,queen is in1 and that as far as practical assistance to his other ,pieces is concerned1 she might as well be off the board4 #ai4 ,k4 ,kt's ,pawn to ,kt's #dth4 #ai4 ,q4 ,kt's ,pawn to ,q4 ,kt's #dth4 ,your last move is far from good4 ,by thus attacking your ,knight1 ,black threatens to win a ,piece1 because upon playing away the ,knight you must leave the ,bishop unprotected4 #bj4 ,pawn to ,k4 ,kt's #eth4 #bj4 ,pawn takes ,knight4 ,although your ,knight was thus attacked1 it might have been saved very easily4 ,in the first place1 by your taking the adversary's ,q4 ,b's ,pawn1 threatening to take his ,k's ,rook1 on his removing which1 or interposing the ,q's ,pawn1 you could have taken the ,pawn which attacked your ,knight2 or1 in the second place1 by moving your ,queen to her #b;d square4 ,in the latter case1 if ,black ventured to take the ,knight1 you would have won his ,queen by taking the ,k4 ,kt's ,pawn with your ,bishop1 giving check1 and thus exposing his ,queen to yours4 ,black would have been obliged to parry the check1 either by taking the ,bishop or removing his ,king1 and you would then have taken his ,queen4 ,this position is very instructive1 and merits attentive examination4 #ba4 ,b4 to ,q4 ,b's #c;d4 #ba4 ,pawn takes ,q4 ,kt's ,pawn4 #bb4 ,pawn to ,k4 ,r's #dth4 #bb4 ,pawn to ,q4 ,kt's #gth4 ,in such a position1 the advance of your ,king's flank ,pawns is a process too dilatory to be very effective4 #bc4 ,pawn to ,k4 ,b's #eth4 #bc4 ,pawn to ,q4 ,kt's #hth1 becoming a ,queen4 ,now the fault of your tortoise-like movements with the ,pawns becomes fatally evident4 ,black has been enabled to make a second ,queen1 and has an overwhelming force at command4 #bd4 ,rook takes ,queen4 #bd4 ,queen takes ,rook 7check74 ,you had no better move than to take the newly-elected ,queen1 for two ,queens must have proved irresistible4 #be4 ,king to his ,kt's #b;d4 #be4 ,kt4 to

your last move you might have redeemed all former disasters by checkmating your opponent in two moves4 ,endeavor to find out how this was to be accomplished4 #bh4 ,k4 ,r's ,pawn to ,r's #eth4 #bh4 ,knight takes ,king's ,pawn4 #bi4 ,bishop to ,king's #eth4 #bi4 ,kt4 to ,k4 ,kt's #dth 7discovering check74 ,up to ,black's last move you had still the opportunity of winning the game before mentioned4 #cj4 ,king to ,kt's #c;d4 #cj4 ,k's ,rook to ,b's #fth4 7ch47 #ca4 ,king to ,r's #dth4 #ca4 ,q4 to ,k4 ,bishop's #dth4 ,at this point you were utterly at the mercy of your antagonist1 but fortunately he wanted the skill to avail himself properly of his vast superiority in force and position1 or he might have won the game in half a dozen different ways4 #cb4 ,q4 takes ,rook4 #cb4 ,q4 takes ,queen4 #cc4 ,b4 takes ,k4 ,kt's ,pawn 7ch47 #cc4 ,king takes ,bishop4 ,this was your last chance1 and its success should serve to convince you that in the most apparently hopeless situations of the game there is often a latent resource1 if we will only have the patience to search it out4 ,by taking the ,bishop1 ,black has left your ,king1 who is not in check1 no move without going into check1 and as you have neither ,piece nor ,pawn besides to play1 you are stalemated1 and the game is ,,drawn4 ,if thoroughly acquainted with the information contained in the preceding sections1 you may now proceed to the consideration of the openings2 before you do this1 however1 it is necessary to apprise you that without a great abridgment of the notation adopted in the foregoing game1 it would be impossible to compress within the limits of this work one-third of the variations which are required to be given4 ,the following abbreviations will therefore be used throughout the remainder of our ,,handbook3-- ,k4 for ,king4 ,q4 ,queen4 ,r4 ,rook4 ,b4 ,bishop4 ,kt4 ,knight4 ,p4 ,pawn4 sq4 square4 adv4 adversary's4 ch4 check or checking4 dis4 ch4 discovering check4 ,the word square is only used to distinguish the first row of squares on which the superior ,pieces stand at the commencement--thus1 we say1 ,kt4 to ,k's #b;d1 and omit the word square2 but if the ,kt4 were played to ,k's first square or ,r's first square1 the move would be described not as ,kt4 to ,k's or ,r's first square1 but ,kt4 to ,k's or ,r's square4 ,,chapter ,,ii4 ,,the ,,king',s ,,knight',s ,,opening

,black to reply #b4 ,q's ,kt4 to ,b's #c;d4 ,he has1 however1 many other ways of playing1 and as the examination of these comparatively simple variations will serve to prepare you for the more complex and elaborate combinations of the best defences1 it will be advisable to consider them previously4 ,in the first place1 then1 ,black may sustain his ,pawn by playing-- #a4 ,p4 to ,k4 ,b's #c;d4 #b4

such distance as to be able to intercept it1 it becomes a point of great nicety in some cases1 to calculate whether or not you have the power of ,queening the ,pawn1 and therefore of winning the game4 ,this frequently depends upon your gaining the opposition1 which you cannot always do4 ,in the next position 7see ,diagram #f7 you have the opposition1 and if ,black have to play you will win4 ,thus3-- #a4 ,k4 to his sq4 #b4 ,p4 to ,k's #gth4 #b4 ,k4 to his #b;d4 #c4 ,k4 to ,b's #gth1 and #d4 ,p4 ,queens4 ,but if you move first1 the game is drawn2 for if you play ,p4 to ,k's #gth 7ch471 ,black moves ,king to his square1 and you must either abandon the ,pawn or give stalemate4 ,you will find1 on trial1 that any other mode of play on your part will produce the same result1--from which is deduced this important general rule3 ,that if you can advance the ,pawn to its #gth sq41 not giving check1 you will win2 but that if the ,pawn checks at this point1 you will only draw4 ,in this position 7see ,diagram #g71 you will win either with or without the move2 for if ,black have to play1 he is forced to allow your ,king to be moved either to ,b's #gth or ,q's #gth sq42 and if you move you gain the opposition1 by playing ,k4 to ,b's #fth or ,q's #fth1 and then ,p4 to ,k's #fth4 ,it is evident that this would equally hold good if your ,pawn were any number of squares less advanced2 so that you invariably win1 if you can succeed in placing your ,king on the sixth square of the file occupied by your ,pawn1 and in front of it2 provided1 of course1 that the single ,king cannot attack the ,pawn1 so as to compel you to retreat in order to support it4 ,it is perhaps scarcely necessary to observe1 that if the ,pawn be upon either of the ,rooks' files1 these remarks will not apply--this contingency will be considered hereafter4 ,diagram #h4 ,,white4 ,,black4 #a4 ,k4 to ,q's #b;d4 #a4 ,k4 to his #b;d4 #b4 ,k4 to his #c;d4 #b4 ,k4 to his #c;d4 #c4 ,k4 to his #dth4 #c4 ,k4

be found1 as has already been remarked1 when the ,pawn is upon either of the ,rooks' files4 ,in these instances1 ,black will invariably draw the game when his ,king can be placed on any part of the file in front of the ,pawn1 it being quite immaterial at what distance the adverse ,king and ,pawn may be4 ,even1 as in the next example1 the player of the single ,king will draw the game1 if he have not the move1 against two ,pawns in a somewhat similar position4 ,for ,white being to move1 he can only play ,k4 to ,r's #hth1 to which ,black must reply by ,k4 to ,b's sq42 and if ,white then advance ,b's ,pawn1 it will be taken3 or if he play ,r's ,pawn1 ,black returns ,k4 to ,b's #b;d1 and his adversary is stalemated4 7,see ,diagram #i47 ,two united ,pawns1 with their ,king1 always win against ,king alone4 ,another advantage in having two ,pawns thus situated is1 that they can always maintain themselves until the arrival of the ,king to their support2 for should one be taken1 the other will advance to ,queen4 ,in the next position 7see ,diagram #aj71 ,white wins by advancing ,k4 to ,kt's #eth1 then ,queening ,rook's ,pawn1 and upon that being taken1 playing ,k4 to ,r's #fth1 or ,b's

to allow three well-supportable ,pawns against two to be established on the ,queen's side4 ,the prospect of a ,king's side attack on which ,white speculates is quite unreliable in comparison to the disadvantage on the ,queen's side to which he is subjected4 ,at any rate1 ,pawns ought to be exchanged first1 and thus ,black's centre weakened4 ,ne#d ,it was better to make sure of his superiority on
