Rare draught-players' manual

CECINA RICA Y FERGEL, Pablo.
Medula eutropelica calculatoria, que enseña a Jugar a las damas con espada, y broquèl: divida en tres tratados: en el primero se ponen las salidas mas firmes, assi de mano, como de postre, defendidas por ambos lados. En el segundo otras defendidas por un lado, por no ser igualmente firmes por ambos. En el tercero se ponen cinquenta y cinco lances sueltos, muy provechosos para rematar con acierto los juegos. Sacala a luz un jugador incognito, aunque nombrado.

With some woodcut tailpieces, one charming woodcut initial and an almost full-page woodcut showing the playing board for the game of draughts with numbers added for the game-notations.
