PRINTERS AND ELECTROTYPERS, PHILADELPHIA. PREFACE. How and Why the Fife is Published. When tlie announcement was made in 1883 that the famous checkers Hbrary ot the late Koland Edwin Bo wen was for sale, its present owner was induced to its purchase by two motives : As editor of the checkers department in the New York World, I desired it for reference and for the use of the World's patrons ; second, it seemed to me a matter of regret that the great labor and genius which Mr. Bowen expended upon his manuscripts should have no better end than that the result of his work should be scattered broadcast by a sale of his library piecemeal. At that time I had given no thought to book publication in connection with the purchase. My purpose extended no further than to keep the magnificent collection intact and to add it to my own library for editorial reference and individual pleasure. Soon, however, the query was received : "Will you not give us more of Mr. Bowen' s manuscripts in book form?" This was reflected upon, and, especially in view of the fact that the science of checkers was steadily growing in the number of its votaries. Was filed for subsequent decision. When a number of these requests induced favorable consideration, other duties denied sufficient time to satisfactorily prepare a manuscript for the press. The book was thus postponed — and there seemed no end to the postponement. Then it was suggested that one of the VI PREFACE. manuscripts should be issued about as it came from the hands of the com- piler and author, and upon this it was decided : 1. To issue a first posthumous publication of one of Mr. Bowen's manu- scripts about as it came from his pen, and let the addition I had made from time to time accompany it. 2. To embrace in the work a biography and portrait of Mr. Bbwen. This idea, having been laid before a number of prominent lovers of the game, seemed well favored, and the Fife opening was mentioned most fre- quently as likely to be welcomed as a first ofi'ering. Mr. Janvier suggested that, as a lifetime friend and neighbor of Mr. Bowen, Mr. M. .Gr Merry, of Lonsdale, B. I. , should be requested to write his biography for the book. Mr. Merry responded : "I should long ago have written a memorial of Mr. Bowen, but it has unfortunately been delayed. I will do so with great pleasure, but please allow me a little time. At present I am very busy." A misunderstanding in regard to the time when the memorial would be completed led to the appearance of the Fife being announced for a given date. This haa now passed, and Mr. Merry's manuscript has not yet been received. Desiring to issue the book as promptly as possible leads to the acceptance of the suggestion that the biog- raphy be given a place in another volume, which will soon follow. The Analytical Character of the Book. Quoting from the last paragraph of Mr. Bowen's pre- face to the " Cross " : "Feeling we are one of the most feeble of mortals, dealing with a most profound subject, we beg of you, one and all, your leniency. " This analysis is not "Andersonized. " It has now come to be regarded (the popularity of John Drummond's books to the contrary) that an analysis is complete only when the drawn or sound play is given precedence, the apparently good or plausible but losing moves, with the best play on both sides, following. Had I waited for time to tear down and rebuild The Fife on the plan of Anderson's second edition, the date of its publication would have become as problematical as the revival of the Lost Art in checkers. Mr. Bowen began the compilation many years ago. The trunk was an essay, by correspondence probably, between Henry Spayth, of Buffalo, author and compiler of the American Draught Player, and the late William PREFACE. R. Bethell, of Philadelphia. At the end I found " W. wins." This was unsatisfactory for the trunk. The last variation in the end-play was a sound draw, by Mr. Robert Martins. A transposition of the correct and unsound play was made, and now you will find the play of Messrs. Bethell and Spayth standing as variation 257. Mr. Janvier informs me there was a controversy as to who played the losing side. Progressing with his coinpilation, Mr. Bowen found play which he deemed worthy of record, although the draw was not shown. He added it to his analysis. Perhaps it was a sound or original variation from any or all play which he already had, but defective play further on allowed it to end "B. wins " or " W. wins." Wanting leisure at the moment to analyze it, he added it unaltered to his manuscript, and in most instances the sound play will be found in a variation entered subsequently. Thus' the chronological order of the play will be an aid to the student. As* a first venture I was quite willing to select one of the shorter manu- scripts, but the analysis will be found very comprehensive, every prominent fine of the Fife having a place in the book, and many unusual lines are handled in a greater or less degree. In his " Cross "Mr. Bowen prefatorily mentioned thlt there are those who will say that all weak play should be eliminated. ^*-With these," he said (with a possible tinge of sarcasm), "I have no argument." In my experience I have discovered that weak play is frequently an important element of a comprehensive and lucid analysis. Unsound play is weak only when properly met , and it must be given to show the amateur how to meet it. Frequently the publication of an analysis has brought queries in regard to lines of play which the analyst had regarded too weak to need elucidation. I have just received a letter from a young player who inquires why Priest (against Barker) did not play 22 18 in a certain game and win. The move is plausible, but deceptive and very weak — after it is discovered that Barker could have replied by the sacrifice of a piece and then won the game. The last variation in this work is not an unintentional innovation on the now recognized order of things correct in checkers analyses. I have always held that the orthodox idea that one way to win is sufiicient, that a draw from a sound win is superfluous, is not liberal to the student, to the amateur. Variation 588 is a sound win for black, but one of the best and VIU PREFACE. most widely known analysts solved the problem by the initial move of vari- ation 600, leaving it then as"B. wins," deceived by the idea that "the move " being with black was sufficient to win. I had found this move only a draw and omitted it. The error of the solver mentioned shows that the move and its result properly belongs to an analysis of the position. So much for weak play. It might be added that it is well for those who are unusually gifted and who have had years of study and practice to remember kindly the needs of the novice and the difficulties which face him. fs . . The Fife has been compiled from many sources, nearly and all aside from text-books. In many instances contributions Explanatory, have been received from private sources ; a great bulk of the analysis has been brought out in matches between emi- nent players, or compiled from the magazines and newspapers devoting a portion of their space to the game. Mr. Bowen was sensitively careful to give credit to the author of all play quoted in his Bristol and Cross ; the same commendable practice obtains throughout his manuscript works, and is carefully adhered to in this volume. It was originally intended to insert in alphabetical order for ready reference a list of the magazines, journals, books and players quoted, but the credit appended to each variation — and no one is missed — throughout the book, is deemed sufficient. The result of the play in each variation is marked "B. wins" or "W. wins " or "Drawn " immediately following the figures or at the foot of the column. The ^ is used to show an alleged correction or stronger play, or, as will be determined by the place it is used, "the only correct move." Mr. Bowen's manuscript comprised 453 variations. The continuation of the play is by myself After acquiring Mr. Bowen's library, upon finding play of apparent merit, I added it to the opening to which it belonged, not knowing at the time that it would be published. In variation 106 you will find the original move in variation 1 repeated, and the query will arise "Why did Mr. Bowen give it a separate place? " I had difficulty at first to discover whence variation 106 arose. The first move was 9 14 — ^impossible at this place. Then it was inferred that Mr. Bowen had made a clerical mistake or been misled by a typographical error into making a variation at the second move of variation 1 instead of branch- ing from variation 40 : then variation 107, the last game of the match, would PREFACE. IX have self-evidently been a branch of 106. The Wyllie-Brown game (var. 132) crept into the book only on account of this error. It is a repetition of 106, but the "9 14" caused this to be overlooked. The excellent portrait of Mr. Bowen is from a photograph kindly sent by Mr. J. D. Janvier, and I am indebted to Mr. A. L. Meyers for friendly assistance in the furtherance of this work. If the object for which Mr. Bowen labored with so much ability, genius and enthusiasm for so many years, the promotion and elevation of one of the noblest of all intellectual recreations, shall have been aided by the pres- entation of the following pages, I resign them to you with great content.

In playing the games in this book, the student will, find that the left- hand numbers indicate the squares from which he plays; the right-hand numbers are the squares upon which the move is finished. Thus 11 16 means — ""Play the piece on square 11 to square 16." The next move, by the opposite side, is immediately below in the same column. The varia- tions are indicated by figures at the side of the column, and refer you to different play found in the column so numbered. 2 CHECKERS.
