Description:Excerpt from Sturges' Guide to the Game of Draughts: In Which the Whole Theory and Practice of That Scientific Recreation Are Clearly Illustrated; Including One Hundred and Fifty Critical Positions Of the several varieties of Draughts, the two prin eipel are - English Draughts, (i thus designate the common game exemplified in the work before us, ) and - Polish Draughts. The latter was only invented during the last century, and is as yet but little known here; though on the Continent it has nearly superseded the other game. It must be admitted that Polish Draughts is the finer, as being the more complicated, of the two varieties. The wider range of the field - (the board exhibiting a hundred squares, instead of sixty four - the increased number of combatants - (twenty on each side, instead of twelve) - as well as the greater power given to the men under particular circumstances: - all these advantages help to approximate Polish Draughts more closely than its rival, to the game of all games - chess.
