About this audiobook
How to Play Chess is a clear instructional primer that introduces the board, pieces, rules of movement, captures, check, mate, castling, and the elementary habits of sound play. Written in a direct, orderly style, it belongs to the tradition of practical chess manuals designed not for masters but for beginners seeking disciplined entry into a game long associated with logic, foresight, and cultivated leisure. Charlotte Boardman Rogers appears as an educator of method rather than a theorist of novelty. While little biographical information is widely available, the book's tone suggests an author concerned with patient explanation, intellectual self-improvement, and the democratization of knowledge. Her approach reflects a period when chess instruction increasingly moved from clubs and private tutoring into printed guides for general readers, including young learners and families. This book is recommended for readers who want a concise, historically grounded introduction to chess without the intimidation of advanced notation or competitive jargon. Modern players may find its simplicity refreshing, while historians of games and education will appreciate its glimpse into how chess was taught as both recreation and mental training.
