Reader's note

An invitation to chess is designed to bring the student to a point where he can sit down and play a game with enjoyment and understand what he is doing. The earlier sections explain the chessmen and the chessboard; the placing of the men; the moves of the chessmen, and the object of the game. The middle sections go on to explain how the game is played; how games are begun and ended. A special feature is a series of photographs in which each and every move of a game, from the opening to the final checkmate, is pictured. The later sections of the book discuss basic principles of the game - the relative values of the chessmen, the principle of mobility, necessary moves, standard attack and defences. This book is a truly inexhaustible guide to the 15th century strategy game!
