Synopsis
Excerpt from Common Sense in Chess
The following is an abstract of Twelve Lectures given before an audience of London chess players during the spring of 1895. It may be regarded as an attempt to deal with all parts of a game of chess by the aid of general principles. The principles laid down are deduced from considerations concerning the nature of Chess as a fight between two brains, and their conception is based on simple facts. Their practical working has been illustrated by positions adapted to the purpose, and likely to occur over the board.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the game of chess, exploring it not as a mere game, but as a sophisticated battleground for the mind. The author, a noted chess player, presents a series of lectures delivered to an audience of London chess players in 1895, revealing the underlying principles and strategies that govern a chess match. He argues that chess, far from being a frivolous pastime, is a "fight" between two intellects, a conflict of strategy, logic, and tactical prowess. Drawing upon his extensive experience, the author breaks down the complexities of the game, dissecting the fundamental principles that guide both the opening moves and the ensuing strategic battles. Through the analysis of games and positions, he deconstructs the different stages of a chess game, offering valuable insights into the art of attack, the importance of piece development, and the subtle nuances of defense. He goes beyond the mechanics of the game, revealing the underlying principles that govern every move, every sacrifice, and every strategic maneuver. The authorââ â¢s approach transcends the simple understanding of chess as a game of moves and captures. He dives deep into the mind of the player, unveiling the intellectual struggle that drives each decision. The book's insights are timeless, and provide a valuable resource for chess players of all levels, offering a deeper understanding of this complex and enduring intellectual battleground. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
