The chess-player's text book;
The Chess-Player's Text Book is a chess instruction manual by Howard Staunton, published in London by J. Jaques in 1849 for players learning the game. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of chessboards with black and white pieces set in endgame positions, drawn in a tidy hatched style a designer could borrow for board-game or puzzle graphics with strong checkerboard patterns.
