Seite 5 - MOVE your pawns before your pieces, and afterwards bring out the pieces to support them ; therefore the king's, queen's, and bishop's pawns should be the first played, in order to open the game well. 2.

At the last period of the game, observe where your pawns are strongest, best connected, and nearest to queen ; likewise mind how your adversary's pawns are disposed, and compare these things together ; and, if you can get to queen before him, proceed without hesitation ; if not, hurry on with your king to prevent him : I speak...
Seite 11 - ... until the end of the game ; and it is generally better to have a worse piece in play than a superior out. 28. When you have moved a piece, which your adversary drives away with a pawn, that is a bad move, your enemy gaining a double advantage. At this nice game no move can be indifferent. Though the first move may not be much, between equally good players, yet the loss of one or two more, after the...
Seite 9 - ... should not stir them till forced to it. 17. Endeavour to have a move in ambuscade ; that is, place the queen, bishop, or rook behind a pawn, or a piece, in such a manner, as...
Seite 10 - ... 21. At the latter end of a game, each party having only three or four pawns on different sides of the board, the kings are to endeavour to gain the move, in order to win the game.
Seite 18 - Whenever you can make an opening with two orthree pawns on the adversary's king, you then are almost sure of the game. 11. If ever the strength of your game consists of pawns, strive to take the adversary's bishops, because they, much more than the rooks, could prevent the advancement of your pawns.
