The design of ''The Chess Player's Pocket-Book" is to supply, in a corapendioua form, a handj-book of reference for the use of Chess players. The work is intended to supplement, and, in some degree, replace the more cumbrous and elaborate treatises on the Royal Game. Even the magnates of Chess grow occasionally rusty in some of the more intricate variations 5 and it is hoped that they may now and then find the " Pocket- BooK " of utility ; whilst less experienced players, by studying its pages, will be enabled to fortify themselves in all the customary modes of opening the game. "The Chess Player's Pocket-Book" contains a digest of analyses by the most dis tinguished Commentators and Masters of the past and present, — from the Gottingen MSS to Greco, from Greco to Philidor, and from Philidor to the authors of the German Hand Book and the many eminent analysts of our own day. Amongst the latter, the Editor is specially indebted to the admirable labors of Messrs. Steinitz, Zukertort, Rosenthal Potter, Hoffer, Wayte, and others of the modern school, whose patient researches have so largely contributed to the advancement of Chess and added to its lustre. The Editor is himself responsible for certain variations in the Evans, Hampe-Allgaier and Steinitz Gambits, which he trusts will meet with approval. It is undoubtedly true that Chess is rapidly increasing in popularity, and it has long been the most universal of pastimes. Practised by all nations, its language, like the signs of Freemasonry, is comprehended by the whole civilized world. ( 6) If ''The Chess Player's Pocket-Book" should eujoy the good fortune to assist, in however small a degree, in disseminating a systematic knowledge of the game and in augmenting the number of its votaries, its mission will be abundantly fulfilled. The i^lan of the book is extremely simple. The various openings are classified in a mode convenient for raj)id consultation. The tables are arranged horizontally — from left to right. The notation employed is the succinct form now generally adopted by English- speaking nations, and will be readily understood by Chess players. The figures from 1 to 10, across the top of the page, designate the order of the moves ; the perpendicular columns of numbers signify the different variations of each opening. The upper line of letters indicates the moves of the first player, or White; the lower line those of the second player, or Black. side. SIGXS AXD ABBEEVIATIOXS.
