Inhaltsangabe

""Studies of Chess"" is a comprehensive guide to the game of chess, written by the renowned chess player and composer Fran�����ois-Andr����� Danican Philidor, also known as A.D. Philidor. Originally published in 1817, this book is a systematic introduction to the game of chess, covering the basic rules, strategies, and tactics involved in playing the game. The book is divided into two main parts: the first part provides a detailed overview of the game, including the rules, the pieces, and their movements, as well as basic tactics and strategies. The second part of the book is devoted to the analysis of chess games, with Philidor providing detailed commentary on a number of famous games, including games played by himself and other famous chess players of the time. Throughout the book, Philidor emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying principles of chess, rather than simply memorizing specific moves or openings. He also stresses the importance of developing a strong sense of positional play, which involves understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each piece and using them to control the board. Overall, ""Studies of Chess"" is an essential resource for chess players of all levels, offering a comprehensive and insightful guide to the game that has stood the test of time.With Original Comments And Diagrams.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
