Philidor. Beoeffenende onderwijzing in het schaakspel, in het Fransch beschreven, vertaalt uit het Hoogduitsch von S.H. Ewald. Amsterdam, Groenewoud, n.d. (circa 1780 according to Cleveland Library). 328 pages., starting with the half-title which is missing in this copy. Original wraps. L/N 496.
Beoeffenende onderwijzing in het schaakspel is an early Dutch instructional chess book based on the ideas of François-André Danican Philidor. It presents the rules of the game and develops into a guide on how to play more strategically, emphasizing careful planning and especially the importance of pawn structure, reflecting Philidor’s famous view that pawns are the foundation of good play. The work helped introduce these more modern, positional ideas to a Dutch-speaking audience and contributed to making chess a more systematic and teachable game rather than one based mainly on quick tactics.
