metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article studies linguistic expression of politeness and its pragmatic
  value in chess literature, focusing on works by Z. Tarrash, A. Nimzowitsch and
  A. Alekhine. In the beginning of the 20th century, authors of books on chess aimed
  at popularizing the game among amateurs, as well as engaging in arguments with
  other chess players. Accordingly, the studied texts represent a number of techniques
  for expressing politeness towards the reader and towards the players whose games
  are analyzed. Politeness in regard to a participant of a game can be expressed by
  a compliment in relation to a strong move, as well as in “polite surprise” at a bad
  decision taken by a strong chess player. Politeness towards the reader includes
  direct address, sometimes using ritual formulas, unobtrusive advice, and various
  techniques of authorial distancing as an indicator of modesty. A method specific to
  chess literature is referring to the participants of a game as Weiß/белые (‘white’) and
  Schwarz/черные (‘black’), even if one of the sides is the author of the commentary.
  Another way is using plural pronouns instead of singular, which is characteristic of
  the scientific style. In Russian texts, there are also cases of distancing through the
  use of impersonal constructions. The pragmatic purpose of politeness in relation to
  the reader is most likely winning them over, while politeness towards chess players
  can serve various purposes.
