A variation of this game, entitled CONSTITU TIONAL CHECKERS, has lately been introduced, to be played on larger boards and more men, with a greater variety of moves; one sized board cousists of 9 rows containing 81 squares, 41 black, 40 white; another of 11 rows comprizes 121 squares, 61 black, 60 white: some of the men are distinguished by a turret, and are empowered to take backwards, as in the Polish Game.

Rule I. A piece touched should be moved, and when quitted must remain: when another piece could have been taken, the player must be huffed.

II. To play out of either angle one square at a time, toward the opposite side of the board, to be crowned.

III. To take forward or backward, touching the vacant square over every man, but not to quit the piece until the move is completed.

IV. A king may move in every direction one square at a time, and take wherever there is a vacancy.

V. No person to advise another, if not a partner; but each player (when not partners) should keep the balance equal.

VI. A drawn game not to be at the option of the contending parties, but decided by 20 moves. If two only play, the pieces with the turrets to be considered as cavalry, and the flat pieces as in fantry.

Game the First.

The Game as usually played on the White Checks, requiring 13 men on each side. Game the Second.

The Game as usually played on the Black Checks, with 14 men each *..

Game the Third.

The Polish Game on the White Checks.

Game the Fourth.

The Polish Game on the Black Checks.
Game the Fifth.

Place the pieces with the turret on the two back rows, with power to take backwards or forwards, but move only forward the two front rows without the turret, as in the Game of Draughts, usually played. A king may not be taken backwards by Cavalry or Infantry, unless they have been to King. If this game is on the large board, it requires 42 pieces for each player; if played on the small board, the complement will be only six Horse and seven Foot.

Game the Sixth.

The Game may be varied by each party arranging his Horse and Foot at pleasure at the

*Playing on the black Checks reduces the Game to a certainty, as, by a skilful manoeuvre, the move may be gained, there being no double corner.
