that 1t Is almost impossible to say what
the Characteristic traits OF good player
are. IT Is easy enough TO pick out man
who really Is one. and study his char
acter and his way OF playing till You
form general notion OF how and why
he is successful. and SO construct a
theory OF what sort Of man Ia likely to
be a good player,
1.-The trouble with that Is that II you
apply the same study to some other man,
who Is also a good player, you will md
that he Is an entirely different sort Of
man, and that his play is very likely to
lead you into totally different theory.
''Then again, II ia not very difficult
thing to analyze the game itself and
build up n theoretical system OF play,
founded on a mathematical calculation
Of chances. with due allowance for the
personal equation as an influence In all
doubtful situations, suoh as those that

theory about what sort of man Is likely
