Download or read book The History of Checkers Draughts written by Govert Westerveld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

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...
