Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I CHESS Section I The Origin Of Chess Chess is the most ancient and universal game known among men, for its original is beyond the memory of history. (Franklin's Essay on Chess.) In days of yore what time no bard has sung Or sung with truth -- the race called Chessic sprung; From Diomedes some the race derive, Some to Palamedes the honor give; This lived when cried for conquest Philip's boy And that when Priam perished with her Troy, Others suppose their founder (bane or boon) Dropped through some strange volcano from the moon; Others opine Prometheus (when his plan Of manufacturing and igniting man With life he first projected, he assayed Smaller game first experiment to aid) Found a huge tusk some elephant had cast; The tusk divided and its portions classed In equal sets; one set dyed black, and then With skill mechanic formed the Chessic men; Next from a moonbeam vivified the breed And gave them action as a sample deed; His mind investing with what might be done When mouldering clay he pilfered from the Sun. Fashioned and furnished thus the sage designed The Pigmy tribes as emblems of Mankind. (Dibdin's Chessiad.) That Chess comes to us from Arabia or Persia is clearly deducible from the words "Sha-mat"-- which, according to Sir William Jones, signify in Persian language "the King is dead." The Germans say "Shach-matt"; and the Anglo-Saxons "Check-mate," when the King is dead--the game is ended. (Enc. Brit.) It is well for us, therefore, to know the potential significance and the historical dignity of that remarkable intellectual pursuit, which, although it bears the look of an amusement, and its student uses toy-like instruments, as did the great inventor of logarithms, Napier of Merchiston, in the wellknown ivory bones or...

A huge amount was published about chess in the United Kingdom before the First World War. The growing popularity of chess in Victorian Britain was reflected in an increasingly competitive market of books and periodicals aimed at players from beginner to expert. The author combines new information about the early history of the game with advice for researchers into chess history and traces the further development of chess literature well into the 20th century. Topics include today’s leading chess libraries and the use of digitized chess texts and research on the Web. Special attention is given to the columns that appeared in newspapers (national and provincial) and magazines from 1813 onwards. These articles, usually weekly, provide a wealth of information on early chess, much of which is not to be found elsewhere. The lengthy first appendix, an A to Z of almost 600 chess columns, constitutes a detailed research aid. Other appendices include corrections and supplements to standard works of reference on chess.

A chess match seems as solitary an endeavor as there is in sports: two minds, on their own, in fierce opposition. In contrast, Gary Alan Fine argues that chess is a social duet: two players in silent dialogue who always take each other into account in their play. Surrounding that one-on-one contest is a community life that can be nearly as dramatic and intense as the across-the-board confrontation. Fine has spent years immersed in the communities of amateur and professional chess players, and with Players and Pawns he takes readers deep inside them, revealing a complex, brilliant, feisty world of commitment and conflict. Within their community, chess players find both support and challenges, all amid a shared interest in and love of the long-standing traditions of the game, traditions that help chess players build a communal identity. Full of idiosyncratic characters and dramatic gameplay, Players and Pawns is a celebration of the fascinating world of serious chess.
