HOWARD STAUNTON, ESQ., Sir,--On behalf of the New Orleans Chess Club, and in compliance with the instructions of that body, we, the undersigned committee, have the honor to invite you to visit our city, and there meet Mr. Paul Morphy in a chess match. In addition to Mr. Staunton, I met there Herr Falkbeer, Messrs. Barnes, Bird, Alter, and other luminaries, and many were the questions asked in reference to Mr. Morphy. keywords: american; anderssen; birmingham; café; challenge; chess; chess club; chess players; contest; day; england; english; europe; game; gentleman; george; great; harrwitz; hero; herr; illustrated; labourdonnais; letter; london; london chess; löwenthal; match; meeting; members; men; morphy; moves; new; news; paris; paul morphy; pawn; play; players; playing; public; régence; staunton; time; world; years cache: 34180.txt plain text: 34180.txt item: #5 of 10 id: 36821 author: Penn, Richard title: Maxims and Hints on Angling, Chess, Shooting, and Other Matters Also, Miseries of Fishing date: None words: 13803 flesch: 72 summary: Amongst good players, it is considered to be as much an indispensable condition of the game, that a piece once touched must be moved, as that the queen is not allowed to have the knight's, or a rook the bishop's move. Of those who have had more practice, some have acquired a partial insight into the endless variety of the combinations which may be formed, and their beautiful intricacy:--a few play moderately well; but, however small the number of good players may be, it would be difficult to find any one who, after having played a few hundred games, would not think it an imputation on his good sense to be considered a very bad player;--and this is the universal feeling, although it is well known that men of the highest attainments have studied Chess without great success; and that the most celebrated players have not always been men of distinguished talents. keywords: day; fish; fishing; fly; friend; game; illustration; line; man; miller; player; river; thompson; time; water; way cache: 36821.txt plain text: 36821.txt item: #6 of 10 id: 4542 author: Fishburne, William Brett title: Checkmates for Three Pieces date: None words: 2661 flesch: -123 summary: 0 8/8/5K2/7k/8/7Q/8/8 b -
