The book starts with an introduction, in which the game itself and the value of the various pieces is explained. Also the importance of chess as a method of mental education as well as the new school and its tendencies is pointed out.
The first part of this volume presents an analysis of six openings:
· Ruy Lopez
· Three- und Four-Knights Opening
· Scotch Gambit
· Two-Kights' Defence
· Russian and
· Philidor Defence.
The analyses mainly consist of remarks and explanations to games played by renowned masters. These games are collected according to a specific system, to which Steinitz adds many contemporary innovations. This part concludes with all 17 games played in the match Steinitz - Tchigorin, Havana 1889, which was won by Steinitz scoring + 10 = 1 - 6.
In the attached 2nd part (of which only 'Section 1' appeared - for collectors this booklet is one of the rarest and much sought-after items) Ponziani's Opening and Giuoco Piano is dealt with.
