THE MEMBERS
OF THE
WESTMINSTER CHESS CLUB,
THE FOLLOWING GAMES, PLAYED IN THEIR ROOMS,
ARE RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED,
BY
THEIR OBEDIENT SERVANT,
W. LEWIS.
NOTICE.
The following Fifty Games were selected from

a considerable number played at the Westminster
Chess Club, Bedford Street, Covent Garden,
during the Summer of 1834, between Monsieur
L. C. De la Bourdonnais, the acknowledged
best player in France, and an English Amateur,
of first rate skill, whose name I am not at liberty
to publish.
•These Gentlemen have conferred a favor on

the Chess world in permitting the publication of
these interesting Games, which will not only
afford amusement, but considerable instruction
to the Chess Amateur.
In the Selection will be found many Games of

the King's Pawn one square opening, and also
of Capt. Evans's Game ; both of which have
hitherto been comparatively but little studied.
The Editor has taken the liberty of adding a

few notes, for which he alone is responsible.
•
THE FOLLOWING ABBREVIATIONS ARE USED
THROUGHOUT THE WORK.
K. for King or King's.

Q. — Queen or Queen's.
R. — Rook or Rook's.
B. — Bishop or Bishop's.
Kt. — Knight or Knight's.
P. — Pawn or Pawn's.
sq. — Square.
ch. — Checks or checking.
The White men were invariably played by Monsieur

De la Bourdonnais, and of course the Black by the
English Amateur.

* This advance of Q. Kt. P. is premature ; Black

ought to play Q. B. to Q. second square : if White play
K. to R. second square, Black plays Q. B. to its square,
compelling White to play B. to Q. fourth square, or
K. to Kt. third square, then, by the advance of Q. Kt. P.
&c. Black would win, as will be seen by the sequel.
t It would have been better to have played the

* It would probably be better to advance this Pawn

two squares, compelling the Black to take it with one
of his Pawns, which would prevent his advancing the
Pawn to Q. B. sixth square without loss.
f Instead of this move, White should play R. to
Q. Kt. seventh square ; if Black move the King,
White advances the Pawn ; if he move Kt. to Q. Kt.

playing R. to adv. Q. Kt. square.
* I am inclined to think, that if White had placed
his Rook on Q. R. square previous to moving the King,
he might have won the game, either by playing his
King to adv. Q. R. square, or, should the Black prevent
that, by playing the King so that when Black takes the
Pawn, White may have a winning position. The fol
lowing moves will serve as an example; instead of
playing on the eighty-ninth move K. to Q. fifth square,
he plays —

90. R. to Q. R. square. 90. Kt. to Q. R. second sq.

an opportunity of drawing the game ; hut of which he
does not avail himself. Instead of checking at adv.
K. R. square, he ought to check at K. Kt. fifth square j
White cannot take, without giving a stalemate; he,
therefore, moves to R. third square, and Black checks
at R. fifth square, winning the Pawns, or forcing the

PREFACE.
Having been frequently requested to publish

some Games at Chess that have actually oc
curred in play, I have selected the following
Fifty, which I hope will be found instructive as
well as entertaining ; for some of these I am
indebted to my friends, the remainder were
played between myself and some of the best
players, not only in this country, but also in
France and Germany.
The reader must not expect that Games

actually played will stand the test of severe
criticism, for even among excellent players, two,
three or more mistakes occur in almost every
game, he will therefore be pleased to look indul
gently on these now submitted to his perusal.
IV PREFACE.
During a late excursion into Germany, I

happened to be staying for a few days in the
neighbourhood of Stroebeck, a village long cele
brated for its Chess players, thinking it would
interest the reader, I have given some account
of this place, with particulars of the game prac
tised there, and a few games which I played
during my stay.

JOURNEY TO STROEBECK.
AN ACCOUNT
VILLAGE OF STROEBECK,
&c.
During an excursion into Germany in the summer

of 1831, 1 stayed for a few days at Halberstadt ; in the
neighbourhood of this town is a small village called
Stroebeck, which has been celebrated for some centuries
on account of its inhabitants being very good Chess
players. Some have stated that this village holds its
lands upon the tenure of forfeiture, if any one of their
community lose a game at Chess, and that therefore
they decline finishing a game with a stranger, this is
however erroneous. The following is the account given
by the inhabitants of the origin of the game of Chess
in the village.
A dignitary of the cathedral at Halberstadt was
exiled to Stroebeck, and being consequently deserted
by his former friends, he became the more attached to
the inhabitants of the village, and determined on
teaching them the game of Chess ; he found to his
96 JOURNEY TO STROEBECK.
delight that they became partial to it, and made great

progress in it; he soon felt himself doubly recom
pensed for the trouble he had taken, for not only did
they become proficients in the game, but it afforded
him many opportunities of improving their morals and
behaviour, which became visible in their intercourse
with their neighbours ; after a time he was recalled
and became Bishop of Halberstadt ; he, however,
did not forget his Stroebeck as he used to call it,
but on the contrary, often went there and conferred
many benefits on the community, amongst others he in
stituted a free- school there. Such is the account given
by the inhabitants of the village.
Stroebeck, (formerly called Stroepke,) lies between
Halberstadt and Brunswick, at a distance of about six
miles from the former place,—you save about a mile by
crossing the fields to it; the spire of the church may
be seen on the left-hand after about a quarter of an
hour's walk from Halberstadt. The village lies in a
hollow, about a mile from the high-road, and contains
about one hundred and twenty houses. I walked over
on a Friday afternoon and introduced myself to the
clergyman of the village, whom I found an obliging
and well-educated man ; he informed me that the day I
had chosen was an unfortunate one for me, for owing
to the fineness of the weather all the inhabitants were
out in the fields, gathering in the harvest ; he hoped,
therefore, as he himself was ignorant of the game, that
I would come over on the following Sunday, when I
might be sure of finding some of the villagers at home.
He informed me that the game is still much played
there, and that they have several strong players ; though
JOURNEY TO STROEBECK. 97
himself no player of the game, yet he is so persuaded of

the advantage of cultivating it, that he encourages the
children who attend the school to practise it at proper
times, and has succeeded in obtaining the grant of
a small sum annually from the community for the
purchase of six Chess Boards and Men, to be given to
the best six players among the scholars, the mimber of
whom amounts to forty-eight ; the method of ascer
taining who are the best is, in the first instance, to have
two sets of tickets, each set numbered from one to
twenty-four, these are drawn by the boys, then the two
ones, two twos, &c. &c. play together ; those who lose
go out, and the remaining twenty- four draw numbers
in a similar way and so on, until only six winners
remain, to whom the Boards are given. It has been
incorrectly stated that the masters are obliged to teach
the children the Game of Chess.
I took my leave of the clergyman with whom I had
so much reason to be pleased, and proceeded to the
public house of the village, the landlord of which told
me also that I must come on Sunday if I wished to
play with any of them. In front of the public house
there is a sign of a Chess Board in the wall, it is rudely
made of stone ; in the public room were hung up three
boards,—one the common Chess Board, and the others
larger for the use of those who play the Courier
Game.
On the Sunday following I walked over in the after
noon and called on the Syndic of the village, who
obligingly offered to accompany me to the public
house, where he showed me their old Chess Board and
Men, which were carefully locked up ; the Board is of a
L
large size, being above two feet square, including the

border, which is about four inches broad ; on the border
is a representation of the village of Stropcke, (it is
spelt thus,) but not in bas relief, according to Mr.
Silberschmidt's account, but rather in rude Mosaic ;
there appears to have been at that time three towers or
steeples in the village, two only of which now remain,
the third having been taken down and the building
converted into a saw mill. According to an inscription
on the Board, it appears to have been presented to
the village by the Elector of Brandenburg, on the 13th
of May 1651 ; on the other side the Board is divided
into 96 squares, (12 by 8,) this is intended for the
Courier Game, which is played with the usual Chess
Men, to which are added for each player, four pawns,
two couriers, a man, and a fool, which last two are
now called state counsellors.
The said Elector also made them a present of two
sets of Chess Men, one of ivory, with which the follow
ing games were played, and the other of silver, half of
which were gilt ; the latter set is lost, having been lent
to the Dean and Chapter at Halberstadt, who forgot to
return them ; this occurred so long since, that no one
now living recollects having seen them : the ivory set
is much too small for the Board; the pieces are in
tolerable preservation, and have nearly the same shape
as those commonly played with ; the upper part of the
bishop, instead of being shaped like a mitre, has the
form of a scoop. They have only two Works on Chess,
one of them an imperfect copy of Gustavtts Selenus,
the other Koch's Codex der Schachspielkunst, in two
volumes ; the former they have had a long time, the
latter was presented to them some years since by their

present worthy Pastor.
Having seen all the curiosities, I invited one of the
party to play with me, to which he readily agreed.
I believe it wa3 formerly their rule never to play with
strangers but for money ; of course I expected they
would have named a stake to play for, but this was not
the case, and accordingly we did not play for any thing ;
whether this alteration in their custom arises from their
having latterly been losers, I know not, but think it very
probable, for I was assured by Mr. Silberschmidt,
that they usually played for ten Frederick's d'or a game.
I was told they had several very strong players ;
I know not whether the party with whom I played is
so considered, I should call him a weak player, and
from what fell in the course of conversation, I much
doubt whether they have any to whom a first-rate
player could not give a knight.
The Courier Game is now seldom played at Stroebeck,
Gcstavus Selenus states that it had been played there
from time immemorial, and that the common game is
derived from it. In the Courier Game the bishop's
move was limited to three squares, for example : a bishop
being placed on the king's fourth square, could be played
only to the following squares, viz. K. Kt. second square,
Q. B. second square, Q. B. sixth square, and K. Kt.
sixth square ; he had no power over the middle square,
but could leap over it like a knight, though occupied
by one of his own, or his adversary's pieces. The queen
was very much restricted in power, not being able to
move farther than one square at a time, backwards or
forwards, continuing always on the same colour ; on the
l2
first move she had, however, the privilege of making;

a joyous leap (Freudenspriing) from her own square
to her third square. The first three moves in the
Courier Game were always the two rook's pawns, and
the queen's pawn two squares each, no other moves
were allowed.
Gustavus Selenus states, that in Aschersleben,
which like Stroebeck is in the ancient country of
Ascania, the city arms contain a Chess Board, and also
that a portion of a Chess Board is to be found in the
arms of the Duke of Anhalt, and as Aschersleben and
Stroebeck are both in the Duchy of Anhalt, it is pro
bable that Chess was played in several places in the
Duchy besides Stroebeck.
The Game at Chess as now played at Stroebeck,
differs from that commonly played in the following
particulars :—
The pieces being placed as usual, each party is obliged
to play his king's rook's pawn, queen's rook's pawn,
and queen's pawn two squares, and the queen to her
third square.
No other pawn can be moved two squares at a time.
The king is not allowed to castle. (I was informed
by one of the inhabitants that some of the players have
lately allowed castling.)
When a pawn has reached the last line, it does not
at once assume the powers of a queen or any other
piece, but it must first make three joyous leaps (Freu-
densprung) of two squares at a time, until it reach the
square on which it was at first placed, for example :
suppose your pawn to be on the adversary's K. rook's
square, its first leap will be to your K. rook's sixth
square, the second to your K. rook's fourth square, and

the third to your K. rook's second square ; on its
reaching this last square it has all the powers of a
queen, &c. ; it must moreover be observed, that while
your pawn remains on the adv. K. rook's square, it
cannot be taken by the adversary, but the moment it
has made a leap, it may be taken ; moreover, the pawn
is not permitted to leap over any piece or pawn, nor
does it possess any power in its way back to its original
square. In consequence of these peculiarities, many
games which could easily be won elsewhere are drawn
at Stroebeck ;—for example :
White. Black.
K. at Q. sixth square. K. at adv. K. R. square.
P. at K. sixth square.
P. at K. fifth square.
In this position the game must be drawn, because
your front pawn never can become a queen, owing to
the other pawn preventing it from making the three
leaps ; even if you had a knight or bishop besides, you
could not win unless you could force his king to take
one of the pawns.
