FOOTNOTES:

[A] When a piece is taken it is removed from the board, and the piece by which it is taken is placed on the square which was occupied by the captured piece.

[B] Whenever a piece of Artillery of one side is placed in range of a piece of Artillery of the other side, the first piece can be taken by the second. See Plate 4, Figure 1.

[C] The necessity of the co-operation of two or all of the different arms represented, and in many instances their dependence on the support of each other, is demonstrated in many real battles.

[D] The Wagon is captured in the same manner as other figures are; it cannot be taken while under cover of a piece of Artillery of its side.

[E] Success sometimes rewards a bold operator, in this game as well as in war, who, ignoring all accepted theorems, ventures upon a hazardous enterprise.
