Synopsis of chess openings, a tabular analysis
A chess opening analysis from 1884, compiled by William Cook and Joseph W. Miller and published in Cincinnati by R. Clarke & Co., aimed at chess players studying move sequences. The pictures are dense columns of numbered moves in tabular rows with notation like P-Q4 and Kt-KB3, set in plain black type on pale paper, which a designer might take as a model for structured, grid-based information layouts.
