By Franklin Knowles Young

Book Overview

Excerpt from The Major Tactics of Chess: A Treatise on Evolutions; The Proper Employment of the Forces in Strategic, Tactical, and Logistic Planes

His, the second volume of the Chess Strategetics series, may not improperly be termed a book of chess tricks.

Its purpose is to elucidate those processes upon which every ruse, trick, artifice, and stratagem known in chess play, is founded; consequently, this treatise is devoted to teaching the student how to win hostile pieces, to queen his pawns, and to Checkmate the adverse king.

All the processes herein laid down are determinate, and if the opponent becomes involved in any one of them, he should lose the game.

Each stratagem is illustrative of a principle of Tac tics; it takes the form of a geometric proposition, and in statement, setting and demonstration, is mathematically exact.
