Philidor, A. D. (François-André Danican Philidor, 1726 -1795): Studies of Chess - Containing a Systematic Introduction to the Game, and the Analysis of Chess. London, 1817. Samuel Bagster. 1 plate (engraved with copper, chessboard) XXXII. 428 p. (with a portrait of Philidor on the copper-engraved illustrated title page, within the pagination), with a few engraved chess diagrams. Fifth edition. In a later modern full cloth binding. Library shelfmark and library label on the endpaper: formerly belonging to the collection of the Bath Municipal Reference Library (England), withdrawn from the collection. Stronger foxing on the copper-engraved plate and the title page, with occasional minor foxing spots on some pages. Philidor's original work, L'Analyse des échecs (Analysis of Chess), was first published in 1749 and revolutionized the game. He was the first to recognize and describe the strategic importance of pawns. The famous saying "Pawns are the soul of chess" (Les pions sont l'âme des échecs) originates from him. Before Philidor, players focused mainly on swift attacks by the pieces, but he demonstrated that a proper pawn structure determines the success of both attack and defense. This volume is an expanded, posthumously published English-language collection of his teachings. ( O,O ) /)__) ,, ,.…
