DESCRIPTION OF THE CHESS-BOARD AND MEN.
The game of Chess is played by two persons, each having at command a little army of sixteen men, upon a board divided into sixty-four squares. The squares are usually colored white and black, or red and white, alternately; and custom has made it an indispensable regulation, that the board shall be so placed that each player has a white square at his right-hand corner.
The following diagram represents the board with all the men arranged in proper order for the commencement of a game:--
