Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Checkers The oldest game in the world is draughts or, as we Americans term it, checkers. Historians tell us that the game was played in one form or another hundreds of years before Christ. The principle of the game is very simple, but to play it well is quite the reverse. My purpose in writing this book is to give the young player some idea of how to conduct a game of checkers in a way which will get him into the habit of making good moves, thus avoiding the glaring mistakes common among all beginners. Some students have a natural checker talent. They become good players without the aid of a book, through experience, but when they at last take up the book moves, coupled with their natural ability, they develop into brilliant exponents of the mental pastime. My advice, therefore, to the student is to get the good move habit first and you will save much valuable time.
