Excerpt from From Novice to Expert
There are hundreds of thousands of checker players scattered throughout the country, especially in the rural districts, some of whom play a very creditable game, but who do not know the number of a single square on the checker board, and who are utterly unable to replay, or even read a single published game.
I know of no work on checker playing, sufficiently elementary to take the novice at his first game and lead him intelligently, without waste of time, to a point where he can understand and emulate the work of experts. Without a knowledge of First Principles, it takes as much time and labor to become an indifferent player, as to become a skillful one with such knowledge.
The homely saying of Josh Billings, that "It is better not to kno quite so much than to kno so menny things that aint so" is especially applicable to the game of checkers.
The Science of any subject is a classification of all the facts known upon that subject. The Art is the skill acquired in applying those facts. A person may learn from books, how to make a mortice, tenon, gain or relish, and master all the facts necessary in order to frame a building and he has learned the Science of framing but when, for the first time he takes the square, saw, auger or chisel, he becomes painfully conscious that he has not yet acquired the Art.
This treatise does not propose to furnish the brains, nor to do the studying and practicing, which must be intelligently done by the player himself, in order to acquire the art.
