Thanks, I'll check it out.

Since this book is long out of print and the nearest library that holds it requires a long haul flight, it would be best for me to just ask some questions regarding the game described by the anonymous discourse. Is there some clue as how this game was played? I'm aware that there was mention of berg...

Did he describe the queens? Were they taken from another pattern?
