BRITISH CHESS CODE WITH INDEX ., PREFACE. A CHESS-WRITER, in these
days, can lay little or no claim to novelty. His merits, if any,
must lie in good arrangement and selection of materials, and in
clearness and fulness of explanation. In this little work the
writer has aimed to take nothing for granted, and chooses the risk
of seeming tedious rather than the fault of passing too lightly
over what a beginner might find difficult. The Table of Contents
which is also a fair Index shows what he considers the best, that
is, the most natural, arrangement. However, as each chapter is
fairly complete in itself, the reader, after mastering the first
four, may read the others in his own order only he is advised to
reserve any close reading of Chapter IX. till he has carefully
perused the rest of the book. The writer has pleasure in thanking
Messrs. AngeIo Lewis and W. P. Turnbull for valuable advice and
assistance willingly given on points on which he consulted them.
Mr. James Mason has kindly read, and sanctions, the Chapter on The
Openings.
