Interesting edition of this summary of various games, including card games, billiards or backgammon. This edition is added with a great chapter on chess, written by Philidor, a French musician and composer, but who also stood out for his mastery of the game of chess, being considered as the best player of his time, standing out for being one of the first to perform simultaneous blind matches. He also created some movements that were named after him. Rare.
