Description
Edward Lasker wrote Chess Strategy, translated by J. du Mont, in a second edition dated 1915, as a guide to playing chess well. The book contains 167 diagrams in ASCII line drawings, with a key explaining pieces and colors: rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, and pawn, with black pieces marked one way and white another. Rules and notation come first.
Later sections give hints for beginners, general principles of strategy, the opening, the endgame, and the middle game. Readers get a classic instruction book, clear and systematic, for players who want to think beyond single moves.
