Excerpt from A Handbook of Chess
Of course it would have been manifestly im possible to have included all the Openings and Endings of games within the compass of this book, but enough has been done to fairly start the student upon his journey through chessland; and it is hoped that, possessing this little Guide, he may neither falter nor stumble by the way.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a straightforward guide to learning chess for beginners. It begins by introducing you to the board and the chessmen, then explains the terminology used, the rules, and the objective of the game. It then introduces you to the algebraic chess notation that allows players to accurately record and share their games to aid analysis, learning, and teaching. The author demonstrates the most commonly used strategies and tactics, including a basic checkmate pattern, and offers tips on how to play defensively against these. Not only does the book include annotated examples of real chess games to help you to better understand the principles being taught, it also includes chess problems designed to challenge you to apply these principles and improve your game. The author also includes a section on famous chess positions to help you hone your skills, with a particular focus on endgames, where only a few pieces remain on the board, and the outcome is close.
