Chess fundamentals
Chess Fundamentals is a 1921 instructional manual on chess by the Cuban champion José Raúl Capablanca, published in New York by Harcourt, Brace and Company for players learning the game. Its pictures are plain diagrams of chessboards with black and white pieces set in endgame and middlegame positions, drawn as crisp line engravings on a hatched checkerboard grid that a designer could borrow for a strategy or game-themed layout.
