Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forced Checkers
For many years the writer has thought that a checker compilation on forced lines, would enable the beginner to get away to a better start.
The average player will spend twenty years selecting certain lines, and meanwhile he has delved into so many variations which fill his mind to 'such an extent that he has no brain space left for strong lines of play.
I believe the reader will agree with me when I state that there is a limit to the human brain. Otherwise a world's champion would never lose a game.
It took the writer twenty-five years to collect these games, which have been selected from all sources and I have given credit as near as possible. If the reader will concentrate on these lines and not allow himself to be sidetracked on other lines, he will soon be able to hold his own with very good players.
Do not try to solve problems, but commit them to memory, at least one end-game problem daily.
The play is arranged so that the student will have a nucleus to build on when ready to branch into two-move style of play.
