Staunton dominated European chess in the 1840s and gave his name to the pieces every tournament uses. This is his teaching book: the moves and their values, the elementary tactics and mates, the endings, and then a systematic analysis of every recognised opening as it was understood in his day.

Chess taught by the man the standard pieces are named after. Download the free EPUB.
