The Chess Player Vol 1 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Chess Player, Vol. 1 In completing the first volume of the Chess Player, we heartily thank our subscribers and contributors for the kind support by which we are enabled to promote Chess and exhibit its beauties in the pages of our periodical - a publication which is intended to be a record of "inventions and discoveries" relating to the noble game, and to afrord to each amateur of the quasi science a medium of intercommunication for their mutual improvement and recreation. That such are the requirements of the Chess-world at the present period we have abundant testimony from the steadily-increasing sale of the work, and from the numerous correspondents which our exertions have called forth, many of whose suggestions are far too valuable for us to neglect. We did hope for advice and co-operation; but we were not prepared for the kindness and sympathetic good-will with which such hints have invariably been accompanied, and which deserve and receive our gratitude, and stimulate us to fresh exertions in our labour of love.
