Excerpt from ChessThe game of Chess is played by two persons or parties, each having at command Sixteen figures or men, which are moved upon a chequered board.The chess-board is a square, divided by intersecting lines into sixty-four equal smaller squares. These smaller squares are coloured (to facilitate calculation) of a dark and light colour alternately.1 For play it is a rule to place the board so that each player has a white square at his right hand corner.There are thirty-two chessmen, Sixteen belonging to each player. The men of one side are distinguished from those of the other by a different colour one set being of a light colour and called white, and the other being of a dark colour and called black.The following diagram represents a chess-board with the men arranged in proper order for play.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
