Bound together in its dark bevelled boards and including each of the 3 issues in its entirety, from the front wrappers (with their pictorial paste-ons) and rear wrappers to each magazine's full contents.

Description:
Paris: Chez N. Pepingve (Avec Privilege du Roi), 1669. Full leather. The 1669 1st French edition --and 1st published edition-- of Gioachino Greco's seminal "Le Jeu des Eschets". Greco (c. 1600 - c. 1634) was the strongest player in Europe in the early 17th century and among the first to record entire games, not just particular openings or combinations. His vast influence (as cited by H.J.R. Murray, among other historians of the game) is keenly felt to this day. This copy is likely in its original full-leather binding, certainly in a contemporary-to-the-period binding. Solid and VG, with minor, forgivable wear along the edges and the preliminaries. The interior though is very clean, the pages surprisingly crisp and clean. Originally recorded by hand in Greco's native Italian, here translated --and issued in book form-- for the first time.

Description:
New York: T.W. Strong, 1859. 1st. Decorative Cloth. Collectible; Very Good. 1859 1st edition of this uncommon, early collection of the games of the great American master Paul Morphy (1837-1884) and puzzles by the great 19th century American organizer of tournament chess Thomas Frere. Believed by many to be the strongest player in the world at his peak, the enigmatic Morphy "retired" from the game at a very early age but left an indelible impression. As well as being a world-renowned chess lecturer and author, Morphy played a leading role in organizing the first world chess championship, won by the great German player William Steinitz. This fragile and precious collection of Morphy's games has held up very nicely. Blindstamped decorative panels, bright gilt-decorated and lettered spine. 16mo, 144 pgs. Light rubbing to the panels and light fraying along the spine ends but still a very presentable and sturdy copy of this chess rarity.
