The Chess Player's Chronicle, 1846, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chess Player's Chronicle, 1846, Vol. 6 Firstly, - Certain general rules and remarks; originally intended, it would seem, for players so intensely simple and innocent, as to have inevitably proved a sheer incumbrance, in a day when Chess in its elements is so much more thoroughly known, than it was seventy years since. Secondly, - The laws of the game; which occupy much space in the original. Thirdly, - The usual forced endings of games, and Checkmates; as the Mate of the two Bishops, of Knight and Bishop, of Queen, and the like.
