Book excerpt: Excerpt from Key to the Chess Openings, on a Novel Plan: Theoretically and Practically Considered, and Illustrated With Diagrams We ask for Chess, and we seek no more, that it should be allowed to take its turn, more generally than it does now, amongst the other amusements of mankind. It is a game which can be played by both sexes, young and old, and at all times of the year. Music and cricket, amusements also, are learned at most schools; why should not Chess, likewise? As there is a piano in almost every drawing room, Why should there not be a Chess-board in every parlor As cricket invigorates the body, and music charms the soul, why not add, in as universal a way, Chess to amuse the intelligent mind Life must have its pleasing and virtuous amusements, not as the business of life, but to alternate with its duties and its cares. The hardest worked men would find Chess eu agreeable change from their avocations. Mr. Buckle, the author of the stupendous History of Civilization, was accustomed almost daily, after several hours of literary work, to repair to a Chess resort in London, and suhati tute for his labors some most, what is technically called, difficult Chess, since he was one of the best players of his time. N 0 one need be deterred on account of age, sex, or occupation, from learning and practising the game. Mr. Morphy, under age, established his superiority over the veterans of America and Europe and many good players are amongst the gentler sex. To excel In the game depends upon one' s capacity and liking for it, coupled with moderate amount of study, and practice with strong players. N 0 game is easier to learn in its elements. A friend could teach the moves in a quarter of an hour. The general meaning of the principal openings can be understood In a few weeks, and then the student will acknowledge the beauty of the game, its wonderful and ever-changing combinations, the charm of those intricacies which never satiate, the depth, the variety of its infinite variations. He who has learned Chess has never regretted it; and few who have played it, with even a moderate degree of excellence, have ever abandoned it altogether.

Download or read book British Chess Literature to 1914 written by Tim Harding and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A huge amount was published about chess in the United Kingdom before the First World War. The growing popularity of chess in Victorian Britain was reflected in an increasingly competitive market of books and periodicals aimed at players from beginner to expert. The author combines new information about the early history of the game with advice for researchers into chess history and traces the further development of chess literature well into the 20th century. Topics include today's leading chess libraries and the use of digitized chess texts and research on the Web. Special attention is given to the columns that appeared in newspapers (national and provincial) and magazines from 1813 onwards. These articles, usually weekly, provide a wealth of information on early chess, much of which is not to be found elsewhere. The lengthy first appendix, an A to Z of almost 600 chess columns, constitutes a detailed research aid. Other appendices include corrections and supplements to standard works of reference on chess.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening preparation is useful, but understanding the middlegame is much more important. This book, an improved edition of a Russian classic, teaches amateur chess players 45 extremely effective skills in a crystal-clear manner. Quite a few of the ideas presented here will surprise the reader, because they offer solutions for problems the club player is only subconsciously aware. How do you activate your rook pawn? How do you prevent your opponent from opening a file? How do you restrict the efficacy of your opponents pieces? Which rook belongs on the c-, d- or e-file? What is the best way to exchange a piece? How do you castle artificially? In most cases the techniques are easy to understand and memorize. Bronznik and Terekhin do not burden the reader with deep analysis and only present those variations that are really necessary to get the point. There is a special training section at the end of the book where you can test your skills. ,
