The grand tactics of chess, an exposition of the laws and principles of chess strategetics, the practcal application of these laws and principles to the movement of forces; mobilization, development, manoeuvre, and operation
A chess manual by Franklin Knowles Young, published in Boston by Roberts Brothers in 1898, from University of California Libraries holdings, written for players studying strategy and tactics. The pictures are diagrams of partial chess positions printed on cream paper, with white pieces outlined and black pieces solid, each captioned White, with the board squares drawn as hatched and plain alternating fields. A designer could take the crisp black-and-white geometric checkerboard grid and the clear contrast between outlined and filled piece shapes.
