either side doe remove two houses at one time that is beyond his guard he may take him as if he had removed but one The third and greatest is that if any Pawne can arrive unto any house of the uppermost ranke of the adversary you may immediately make him a Queen or what piece you have already lost yea in forraigne Countries and amongst the best players here you may have two or three Queens at a time who shall be able at that very instant to check the adverse King and use all power the Piece you make him hath CHAP. IV. Of the Bishops and Knights NEXt in value above a Pawne are Bishops and Knights The Bishops walke is alwayes in the same colour he is first placed in forward and backward aslope as far as you please and the way is cleare betwixt him and the place you intend to remove him to so doth he guard any piece of his own side take any of the contrary and check the adverse King which unavoided by either taking or causing him to be taken up or interposing some piece between him and the King it is Check mate The Knights draught is forward and backward on either hand aslope from the place he standeth in to the next save one of another colour skipping over any piece that standeth in his way and in the same manner doth he guard take and check which check because as the Pawnes check it cannot be covered the King must either remove out of check or cause him to be taken for he cannot take him himselfe it is Check mate Now the difference of worth betweene the Bishops and Knights is uncertaine some preferring one some the other as they play best with either of them themselves or observe it in their adversary but generally the Knights are more esteemed because their walks have more variety that is into all the sixty foure houses but a Bishops walke is but through thirty two of them A Knight likewise guardeth three houses before he doth remove and eight when he is from the side of the file whereas the Bishop guardeth but two houses in his first place and but foure afterward Thirdly the Knights can guard one another which the Bishops cannot doe because they move into one anothers colour Fourthly a Knights check cannot be covered but a Bishops may and I cannot see but that the two Knights and a King may give a mate though not so well as the Bishops but it is hard for either of them to doe it CHAP. V. Of the Rookes Queene and King THe Rocks Rookes or Dukes walk forward backward and side-wayes in any rank and file but not aslope as the Bishops do unto any place so also doe they guard take and check which check if not avoided the game is lost Now a Rookes worth is as great as both a Bishops and a Knights because he goeth over all the board which the Bishop cannot and though the Knight may yet his remove is confined to a certaine distance when the Rookes is unlimited where there is no interposition and although he guards no more places then the Bishop doth yet he can give mate with the King alone which no piece else beside the Queen can doe his Priviledge is to change with the King as you shall see in the Kings Prerogative But the Queen is in value equall to any two pieces Her remove being forward backward side-waye and aslope but not as the Knight doth as far as she will if she meet no opposition she in like manner doth guard the pieces of her owne side take the enemy and check his King which unavoided is Mate She guardeth five houses in her first place and eight when she is from the side of the file The King removeth but one house at a time forward backward side-wayes and aslope to any place not possessed by his owne men or guarded by the enemy where he may take any piece of the enemies but there must be alwayes the distance of one house between the two Kings for they can neither check nor take one another he guardeth as many places as the Queen doth His Prerogative is First that no piece can take him but must only salute him with the word check Secondly whereas his draught is but one house at a time yet for his greater safety if neither he nor either of the Rookes have as yet stirred out of their places and there is no piece standing between them he may change or Castle with this Rooke that is he may goe two draughts at once towards this Rooke on which hand soever he standeth causing the Rooke to stand next to him on either side this may he doe at any time before check or after check In France the Rook when the King changeth goeth into the Kings house CHAP. VI Observations in playing the game HAving now discovered the places removes guards worth and Prerogative of each piece I will now shew you some observations in the removall of them but whereas there is 64 houses in the Chesse-board there may be consequently as many varieties of games as 64 can be altered which are more then there have been minutes since the Creation therefore there is no such rule found out at this game as who shall play according to it must necessarily win the game however there may be such precepts and directions given that whosoever shall carefully observe and remember upon occasion to put them in use shall have great advantage against him that hath them not so that the following advises and Gambetts well studied will be instead of a rule to direct you how to advance and retire how to take opportunities as also how to designe upon your adversary to foresee and prevent his stratagemes with a returne upon himselfe For certainly he that hath before his eyes in his memorie many games well played shall be able to make such observations upon them as may stand him in great stead when ever the enemy shall fall into such a posture of game as he hath formerly seen and remembreth the disadvantage he is liable to The first thing therefore you are to indeavour is to get the first remove for it is of great advantage for which gamesters strive severall wayes according to their agreement between themselves but when a game is ended he is to have it who winneth it unlesse you make it otherwise Now for the first draught it is generally esteemed best to remove the Kings pawne two houses because if not prevented by the like play you may still move that pawne forward with good guard which will be very prejudiciall to the adversary The second thing observable is to play your men in good guard of one another that if any man you advance be taken the adverse piece may be taken againe by the piece which guardeth yours and to this purpose be of all things sure to have as many guards upon one of your pieces as thou seest the enemy doth advance of his upon
it Thirdly that thy guardes be of lesse value then the pieces he assaileth withall for then if either he or you begin to take you shall gaine something if you finde you cannot well guard your piece see whether you can advance some piece of yours in guard to take a better piece for so you may many times save your endanger'd piece Fourthly never change piece for piece untill you get the advantage either by taking a Pawne or Noble-man of his for nothing or disordering a pawne or two of his which is of very materiall consequence Fiftly take great heed that you doe not choak up your owne passage from advancing your men and retiring on all occasions but indeavour by all meanes to take that liberty from your adversary Sixtly never play any man untill you have examined whether you your selfe are free from danger and to that end upon every remove of your adversary consider of what consequence the advancing and retreating of your adversary may prove and indeavour if it may be hurtfull to prevent it before it be too late Seventhly consider the maine designe of the game which is as suddenly as can be to give check mate that is as I said before so to check the adversary King as that he can neither take the piece checking because it is guarded nor cause it to be taken nor cover the check nor remove out of check which may be done severall wayes so that sometimes by the losse of one or two of your great men yea sometimes of your Queen you may give an unexpected mate as you may often observe in the following Gambetts I shall therefore omit to discover unto you the manner of the surprizing the Rookes or a Queen or the making a new Queen of which you shall have plentifull examples in the Gambetts Lastly never let your Queen stand so before your King as that your adversary may bring a Rooke or Bishop to check your King if she were not there for then you will hardly be able to save your Queen nor let his Knight come so safely that he cannot be taken up to check your Queen and King or your Rooke and King at one time for then you will loose your Queen or Rooke since the King must be forced to remove out of check CHAP. VII Of some particular things to be observed with the lawes of Chesse-play BEfore I come to the Gambetts I will tell you what a Forke a stale a blind Mate and a dead Game is A Forke is that when you see two of the enemies Noble-men standing in the same ranke and but one house betwixt them advance a pawne guarded with an other unto the middle house before them both and you may commonly take one of them A stale is given when one King hath lost all his men and hath but one place left to fly into if then the adversary bar him of that place without checking him so that he being now out of check cannot remove but into check it is then a stale and he that giveth it to the distressed King loseth the Game A blind Mate is when one giveth check mate but seeth it not yet it is neverthelesse a Mate though a disgracefull one A dead Game is when only the two Kings are left yea most Gamesters will draw the stakes when they have but a Knight or Bishop left with their King and the enemy only his King For it is not possible then to give a Mate by force His Queens Rookes house Queens Knights house Queens Bishops house Queens house Kings house Kings Bishops house Kings Knights house Kings Rooks house 4. House 3. House 2. House 1. House Your Kings Rooks house Kings Knights house Kings Bishops house Kings house Queens house Queens Bishops house Queens Knights house Queens Rooks house 4. House 3. House 2. House 1. House The Lawes of Chesse are 1. If you touch your man you must play it and if you set it downe anywhere you must let it stand 2. If your adversary play a false draught and you spy it not before you play the next draught t is then too late to challenge him 3. If by mistake you play a false draught and your adversary let it alone for his advantage till he hath played his next draught you nor he cannot then recall it 4. If at first you misplace your men and play two or three draughts it lieth in your adversaries choice whether you shall play out the game or begin it againe 5. The King in changing may not goe into check nor at any time remove into check 6. If your adversary playeth or discovereth a check to your King and giveth you no notice of it you may let him stand so for that draught if you please 7. If your King standeth in check and you remove a draught or two the adversary may not give check when he pleaseth unlesse he removeth the piece checking or some other Having now finisht all those rules and instructions that are necessary for a Learner I shall for the increase of his farther benefit refer him to these Gambets which follow by which not onely he that is a beginner but also an experienced Gamester may receive such satisfaction as that he will find it worth his labour and study to be perfect in them and cause him by seeing the mysterious passages therein to take far more delight then hitherto he hath done in this most excellent and delightfull game of Chesse-play The Fooles Mate BBlack Kings Bishops pawne one house White Kings pawne one house Black kings knights pawne two houses White Queen gives Mate at the contrary kings Rookes fourth house The Schollers Mate WHite kings pawne one house Black kings pawne the same White Queen to the contrary kings Rookes fourth house Black Queens knight to her Bishops third house White kings Bishop to the queens Bishops fourth house Black kings knight to the kings Bishops third house White queen takes the contrary kings Bishops pawne gives mate Gambett.

Conquest though each hope To win the field Which now is half laid ope By soldiers death now dares a martial Queen Check her Foe King when strait there steps between A ventrous Soldier or a Noble-man Who cares not for his life so be he can From danger keep his King he feares not death In Princes cause that gives each Subject breath But this Virago dyes being left alone When straight a nimble Soldier steppeth on And through the thickest Troops hews out his way And till he come to th' head doth never stay This brave attempt deserves the honouring The Queens colours are his given by the King Who knowes that valour should not want reward And ventrous spirits best keep Princes guard Now is the War in heat bloody the Field Mercy is banishâ—d none hath thought to yeild Basely to beg his breath the fame now ran That they must fight it out to the last man All Soldiers die but one who to his King Griev'd with his great losse doth this comfort bring That their great Foe whose Troops are all now dead Must to their swords yeild up his conquer'd head Then with their Check and check on either hand The poore disheartned King doth mated stand Though thus to dye it be the Princes fate Who dares pronounce he had a whisking mate Who rather than mumping forego the Field Joyes in the place he stands his breath to yeild But now the conquering couple want their breath Their festered wounds doe rankle and grim death Creeps through the gashes down the Victors fall And then one generall Herse entombs them all To the Right Honourable MONTAGVE Earle of Lindsey c. THe Consideration that to finde out a certaine Rule for this Princely Game of Chesse is generally and I think justly esteemed to be impossible was the first cause that invited me to publish these Gambetts which doe in a very great measure supply the defect of such an advantage which in respect they were in the Delights of his late Majesty and many of the Nobility of these Kingdomes I presumed to dedicate unto your Honour whom I have understood not onely to take pleasure but to be very judicious in this Incomparable Recreation beside the particular relation of the Duty I have to submit my self on all occasions unto your Honours Censure and Commands and the necessity I have of desiring your Lordships Protection for that I have attempted to publish that which some Gentlemen have already in Manuscript and peradventure to their displeasure Instructions also for Learners being already in Print and very plaine might have deterr'd me from medling as it were wth another mans work but for these I have excuse that these Gambetts being so beneficiall cannot but be very acceptable and also give invitation to those who are but small Proficients to take a greater delight than formerly in this Pastime and alteration of the Instructions being made more brief are consequently more usefull I am onely therefore to crave your Honours Pardon for disturbing your Honours more serious Contemplations with these trifles which if I have I shall rest secure from Calumny that can be throwne upon Your Honours most humble Servant Fr Beale THE GAME OF CHESSE-PLAY CHAP. I. Of the Antiquities and Inventors of this Game DIverse are the opinions of the antiquity of this game of Chess Some thinke that it was invented by Palamedes one of the chief Commanders of the Graecian forces at the siege of Troy Others that Xerxes the great King of Persia devised it but the most received opinion is that at that siege or some other place blocked up by their adversaries by some of the most learned and experienced besiegers meeting and clubbing their inventions together this inimitable game was found out and the rather because who ever playes at it shall not be able to carry on any designe with any successe or understand the plots of his adversary without his whole intention is fixed upon it and he be abstracted from all other contemplation CHAP. II. Of the shapes names and places of the Chesse-men ALthough in all Countries the shapes of the Chesse-men are not the same yet are the figures framed so distinctly from one another that they never breed any confusion The Chesse-board therefore which is divided into sixty foure square houses standing as usually with the white corner to the right hand the first and highest generally called the King standeth in the fourth house from the corner of the board in the lower rank with this observation that the white King must stand in black and the black King in the white where note that every piece standeth right over his adversaries piece of the same sort The next in height is the Queen or Amazon who is placed in the fourth house from the corner of the field by the side of her King and alwayes in her owne colour whence Rex albus in atro Rex ater in albo servat Regina colores Next to the Kings other side place a Bishop oâ— Archer who is commonly figured with his heaâ— cloven next to him the Knight and in the corner of the field the Rooke Rock or Duke who is sometimes fashioned with a round head sometimes like a Castle c. So also on the Queen side place her Bishop Knight Rook who always stand in different colours to those of the King Lastly before each Great man standeth their particular pawne or Serving-man so that the King and Queen have three great men and four pawnes a piece CHAP. III. Of the draught guard worth and Prerogative of each plece and first of a Pawne THe draught of a Pawne is only one house at a time streight forward in his owne file never retiring but he differs from all other pieces in that it doth not take the adverse pieces as it goeth but that which standeth aslope in the next house forward of the next file on either hand and then goeth forward upon occasion as at first now as all other pieces doe he guardeth any piece of his owne side just as he taketh that is if a piece of his side standeth in that place where if it were an adverse piece he might take it he then doth guard it so also doth he check that is give notice to the adverse King that he can take him which check if the King cannot avoid either by taking him up himselfe if he be unguarded for a King can at no time remove into checke or by causing him to be taken up by some other of his pieces it is checke Mate and the Game lost This is the draught of the Pawne who though it be of least value yet hath it thre great priviledges The first is that whereas his remove is but one house forward at a time yet every pawne for his first draught may remove two houses forward The second is that if any pawne commeth up to the fourth ranke of the adverse party if any of his pawnes of the next file on
