1888 Game of Draughts CHECKERS Strategy Technique History Classic Matches Chess



“The Game of Draughts. The Most Important Matches, from Anderson-Wyllie (1847), to the Present Time.” by Joseph Gould is an extensive guide to the classic board game, featuring comprehensive coverage of notable matches from 1847 to the present. Collaborating with respected players like J.A. Kear, Chas. Hefter, and world champion James Wyllie, Gould presents a diverse range of remarkable and miscellaneous games designed to intrigue all levels of players. Gould went beyond just game records to provide critical, historical, and biographical notes, enriching the 19th-century reader’s understanding of the game’s evolution and its prominent players of the period. The book also includes a special American section dedicated to matches and games. Responding to the call for updated game laws, Gould presented a revised code, derived from wide consultation within the draughts community, and backed by years of his personal experience. This book serves as an instructive and interesting resource for anyone interested in the history of the game of draughts/checkers.
