~Robertson's Guide to the Game of Draughts.~ Embracing all of the
twenty-two well-known Openings, with 3,340 Variations, including and
correcting all that are given in the leading treatises already
published, with about 1,200 new and original Variations which appear
for the first time in this work, forming a thorough and complete
digest and analysis of the Game with corrections and additions up to
the present time. The number of moves aggregate nearly 100,000. Match
play by Yates, Wylie, Barker and others, will be found regularly
classified. A change has been made in the trunks generally, and
throughout the whole work there appears much that is fresh and
original, instead of the usual well-worn book play.
