Description: 1786 The Game of Chess. Traité théorique et pratique du jeu des échecs, TRAITÉ THÉORIQUE ET PRATIQUE DU JEU DES ÉCHECS par une société d'amateurs Deuxième édition, revue et corrigée Paris, Stoupe, 1786. Second edition. Hardcovers. Leather spine and corners, Duodecimo, xij + 440, [2] pages. The first edition of this most esteemed work in the world of chess was originally published in 1775 (and reprinted in 1776), and the book, translated into German and English, was reprinted until 1853. It was the product of the collaboration of four of the best chess amateurs, contemporaries of Philidor, as well as former students of the master, who met at the Café de la Regence in Paris, namely; Léger, Bernard, Carlier and Verdoni (died in 1804). For that reason it is commonly referred to as the Treatise of the Amateurs. La première édition de cet ouvrage des plus estimés dans le monde des échecs était parue en 1775 (réimprimée en 1776), et l'opuscule, traduit en allemand et anglais, connaîtra de nouveaux tirages jusqu'en 1853. Il est dû à la collaboration de quatre parmi les meilleurs amateurs d'échecs, contemporains de Philidor, voire anciens élèves du maître, et fréquentant le Café de la Régence à Paris, à savoir Léger, Bernard, Carlier et Verdoni (mort en 1804). Pour cela, il est communément désigné sous l'appellation de Traité des amateurs. CONDITION: Good.
