Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chess-Player's Text Book: A Concise and Easy Introduction to the Game, Illustrated by Numerous Diagrams of Instructive Situations
Being intended only for beginners, they are divested as much as possible of whatever might appear perplexing or repulsive and the examples for study presented in the order conceived to be the most natural and easy for apprehension.
To profit fully by these examples the learner will do well, when he is thoroughly conversant with the pre liminary matter of the first six chapters, to restrict himself to the examination of one position at a sitting. Let him commence for instance, with the easy Check-mate of Diagram No. 4 and when he quite comprehends the Object of each move, proceed to the next diagram and the next, and so on through the whole, in the sequence in which they appear. He will soon master this series of short contests wherein one or two pieces only are engaged on each side, and then be in a condition to enter on the study of the openings, when the conflict is begun with the full array of both armies in opposition.
