be_v more_o than_o there_o have_v be_v minute_n since_o the_o creation_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o rule_n find_v out_o at_o this_o game_n as_o who_o shall_v play_v according_a to_o it_o must_v necessary_o win_v the_o game_n however_o there_o may_v be_v such_o precept_n and_o direction_n give_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v careful_o observe_v and_o remember_v upon_o occasion_n to_o

rule_n to_o direct_v you_o how_o to_o advance_v and_o retire_v how_o to_o take_v opportunity_n as_o also_o how_o to_o design_n upon_o your_o adversary_n to_o foresee_v and_o prevent_v his_o stratagem_n with_o a_o return_n upon_o himself_o for_o certain_o he_o that_o have_v before_o his_o eye_n and_o in_o his_o memory_n many_o game_n well_o play_v shall_v be_v able_a to_o make_v such_o

for_o which_o gamester_n strive_v several_a way_n according_a to_o their_o agreement_n between_o themselves_o but_o when_o a_o game_n be_v end_v he_o be_v to_o have_v it_o who_o win_v it_o unless_o you_o make_v it_o otherwise_o now_o for_o the_o first_o draught_n it_o be_v general_o esteem_v best_o to_o remove_v the_o king_n pawn_n two_o house_n because_o if_o not_o prevent_v by_o the_o like_a
