FOREWORD
The popularity of the game of chess is growing day by day.
Literally, millions of chess sets have been sold In this country In
tie past ten years. A chess problem appearing in the New Yorker
evoked 3300 replies. Nearly 25,000 books have been written on
the subject In different languages.
These figures are astounding and they contradict the common
notion that chess is a difficult game beyond the reach of ordinary
intelligence. On tie contrary, they signify a deep and abiding love
which springs from intrinsic goodness.
We, in the States, have a proud chess heritage. Paul Morphy,
New Orleans prodigy, was the first uncrowned chess champion of
the world. Benjamin Franklin's Morals of Chess Is an excellent
dissertation on the virtues of this fascinating pastime. And we
have produced great players and teams which have won the world
championship on a number of occasions.
To meet the ever-increasing interest in this royal pastime, new
techniques in teaching have been devised. A hundred years ago
all kinds of fanciful verbiage described a simple movement. Today,
a short, simple, clear, understandable code defines the same action.
Today, photographs give the learner the feeling that he is actually
handling the chessmen as he is learning. All of the latest techniques
are employed here to appeal to youngsters and oldsters alike.
This book is dedicated to the new generation of chess-players.
May they uphold our proud heritage.
Al Horowitz
