Excerpt from Souvenir of the Bristol Chess Club: Containing One Hundred Original Games of Chess, Recently Played, Either Between the Best Players in Tilat Society, or by Them With Other Celebrated Players of the Day

In the belief that the following specimens of Chess skill may not be unacceptable to the Chessplaying Public, the Editor has been induced to make this selection from games played in the Bristol Club; and he will esteem himself abundantly rewarded if any amusement or instruction be derived from his efforts.

It has been one of his chief aims to give the greatest variety with respect to the openings of the games. This plan he has thought would be most interesting to the higher class of players, as well as most instructive to the youthful student.

With this latter object especially, he has thought fit to append a few notes to those games which appeared to require comment: those he has endeavoured to render as cogent as possible; but, at the same time, he will not answer, in all cases, for their infallibility.
