The Morris Systems Checkerist (March, 1926)
The Morris Systems Checkerist is a March 1926 periodical of checkers (draughts) problems and news, edited by Newell Williams Banks and published by the Morris-Systems Publishing Company in Detroit, Michigan, for checker players. The four pictures are numbered checkerboard diagrams, each with a caption listing the kings and men for White and Black, showing end-game puzzle positions with black and white pieces set on dark squares. A designer might take the clean grid of dark and light squares and the crisp round piece shapes as a simple, graphic pattern for game or puzzle layouts.
