''A Selection of Games at Chess: Played at the Westminster Chess Club between L. C. De La Bourdonnais and an English Amateur of First Rate Skill'' is a book written by William Lewis in 1835. The book is a collection of chess games played between two skilled players at the Westminster Chess Club, one of whom is the renowned French chess player Louis-Charles Mah����� de La Bourdonnais, and the other an anonymous English amateur of exceptional skill. The book includes detailed descriptions of the moves made during each game, as well as annotations and analysis of the strategies employed by both players. The games are presented in chronological order, allowing readers to follow the progression of the players’ skills and tactics over time. This book is a valuable resource for chess enthusiasts and historians interested in the development of the game during the early 19th century.''Also Contains Fifty Games At Chess, Which Have Actually Been Played.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
