The Noble Game of Chess, a book by Captain Joseph Bertin.  Printed by H Woodfall 1735.  The noble game of chess. Containing rules and instructions, for the use of those who have already a little knowledge of this game. Full leather bound, gilt letters to front board.  Staining and yellowing to title page.  [ii] blank, iii-iv preface, v-viii rules, [1]-78.  Captain Joseph Bertin (1690s – c. 1736) was one of the first authors to write about the game of chess. David Hooper and Kenneth Whyld in The Oxford Companion to Chess call his book The Noble Game of Chess "the first worthwhile chess book in the English language". B. Goulding Brown, writing in the December 1932 British Chess Magazine, called it the first original English chess book. Bertin was a Huguenot born at Castelmoron-sur-Lot in the 1690s. He came to England during his youth, became a naturalized citizen in 1713, and married in 1719. In 1726, he joined a line regiment serving in the West Indies. He was later promoted to the rank of Captain, and ultimately was released from the Army as an invalid. In 1735 he published a small volume entitled The Noble Game of Chess. In the same year, he was recommissioned in a Regiment of Invalids and, according to Hooper and Whyld, "In all probability he died soon afterwards."

Provenance: Library book of J W Rimington-Wilson inscribed on pastedown – Sold London 1929, on behalf of his son R.H Rimington-Wilson by Bernard Quaritch Ltd 11 Grafton Street, New Bond Street, W.1, lot number 386. The basic manual of the game of chess, until the advent of Ruy Lopez. Born in Portugal to a family of Jewish origin, Pedro Damiano was a pharmacist by profession. Following the decree of expulsion of the Jews from his country issued in December 1496 by the sovereign Manuel I, he fled to Italy and here changed his name to the Italian version with which he is known throughout the world. In Italy Damiano wrote his famous manual Book to learn play a scachi et de li partyiti, which was published in Rome, in Italian, in 1512. The text went through eight editions in the sixteenth century. He dedicated the book to a gentleman expert in military art, the most excellent Signor Giovanni Giorgio Cesarino Romano. Damiano describes the rules of the game, already similar at the time, but not identical to the current ones (for example castling and taking en passant were missing), it offers advice on strategy, presents a selection of chess problems (the "parties" mentioned in the title) still very famous (see diagrams) and analyzes some openings. His theory of openings will later serve as the basis for subsequent reworkings, notably those made by the other great Iberian theorist of the sixteenth century, Monsignor Ruy López de Segura.
