A typescript page on which Roger Knoebber typed his principles for chess playing, given to photographer and friend Philip Heying (assumed in the late 1980s). Roger and Philip frequently played chess together.

This is divided into the following sections:

  • Opening
  • Transition to middle game
  • Middle game
  • Transition to the end game
  • Endgame
  • Random general instructions
This was acquired from Philip Heying for the archives during a July 2026 trip to his rural Kansas home.
