In den WarenkorbHard Cover. FIRST EDITION. Octavo, pp. x, 509, [1]. With numerous diagrams throughout the text. Maroon straight grained half morocco with 4 raised bands, gilt titles and decoration to spine and marbled paper-covered boards; marbled endpapers. Joints starting but holding well. Leaves lightly toned with scattered light foxing, a l…ittle heavier to endpapers; p. 9/10 corner creased. No annotation or inscriptions. The posthumously published final work by Howard Staunton (1810-1874), the English chess master and probably the greatest chess player of the mid nineteenth century; he died suddenly and the book was posthumously published. Staunton was chess columnist for the Illustrated London News and founder of the Chess Player's Chronicle, the first English language periodical devoted to the game. The standardised pieces he designed are still used today for competitions and he remains a colossus of the gaming world. A very good copy of a major contribution to the literature of chess.
