Author Description

Excerpt from Lees' Guide to the Game of Draughts: Giving the Best Lines of Attack and Defence on the Standard Openings, With Notes and Variations; Also, Selected Useful Positions by Various Authors In the course of my correspondence with Mr. Gould I was made acquainted with his desire to publish a useful work on the Game of Draughts, suitable for all classes of players, a work he had commenced, but which was set aside to allow him to compile and publish his Book of Problems. Critical Positions and Games, and his Memorable Matches. At his request I undertook to do for him what his growing business engagements prevented his carrying out, and this volume is the outcome of my offer to do so.
