About this book

Chess and Checkers: The Way to Mastership offers complete instructions for beginners and suggestions for advanced players, with separate parts devoted to the two games. The chess contents list rules about the board and pieces, their moves, special terms, symbols and the laws of play. The contents place fundamental endings, the relative value of pieces, cooperation between pieces and sacrificing under elementary tactics.

The discussion of Queen's Pawn openings explains that, in most cases, neither player can open a central file through an exchange of central pawns. The explanation says an additional pawn move is therefore necessary during the opening to provide an open file where rooks may later enter the battle.
