About the Book

In the examples of games given for each description of chess, the reader, and more especially the chess- player, will understand that the examples are merely given to show the moves; being frequently played by friends who were not chess-players, but who kindly learnt the moves so as to enable the author to score the game. Chess, draughts, and backgammon, or games resembling these, have been played in all civilized countries, and at all times. In some instances there is little or no variation of the same game in different countries: in others the difference is such as to constitute a new game, and very frequently a game of great interest. It is the object of this book to show some of these varieties, and what is more, by giving examples of these games to enable anyone to learn the games and play them. About The Author : Edward Falkener (1814-1896), Born in London on 28 February 1814, he was the son of Lyon Falkener, head of the ordnance department in the Tower of London. He was educated at a private school in Kent, and after declining a nomination for the civil service of the East India Company on the ground of delicate health, he was articled to the architect John Newman (1786–1859). He became a student of the Royal Academy in 1836, and in 1839 gained its gold medal for a design for a cathedral church. In 1839 Falkener published Was the Ceiling of the Parthenon flat or curved? He wrote on lighting for museums of sculpture, and the artificial illumination of churches and mosques.
