Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Pitfalls on the Chessboard The reason which has prompted the author to present yet another work on the Royal Game to the Chess World, is that recently a plebiscite of the C1265: Amateur Magazine readers was taken, and the section Pitfalls, under the management of the present writer, stood so high that the Chess Amateur Editor advised a publication of a collection in book form. Hence the present volume, which we feel will be welcomed by many players. From these pages we hope the reader may obtain a thorough knowledge, if not of all the Pitfalls existing on the Chessboard, at least of their principles. A knowledge of these is essential, for it is the easiest thing imaginable for a player to obtain a lost game through moving a wrong pawn, taking a wrong pawn, or through taking a pawn at all.
