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library label on the endpaper: formerly belonging to the collection of the Bath Municipal Reference Library (England), withdrawn from the collection.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 ) /)__) ,, ,.…

Store description
The Abaúj Antique Bookshop which was founded in 1996 is one of the most significant representatives of the Hungarian second-hand book trade. The second-hand bookshop I lead organizes numerous book auctions year by year in Budapest. I make a catalogue out of the most unique themes every summer. My favourites are autographed books and manuscripts. Autographed books and manuscripts of internationally-recognised writers, poets, historical figures and celebrities can be found in my collection. You cannot even imagine how many rare books and manuscripts can be found in Central Europe! I have created the abaujantique.com website in order to make the world aware of us and get to know us. I would like to get to know your interests and add rare items to your collection. Kind Regards from a booklover, János Pogány…
