Chess: An Historical Perspective Chess - the "Royal Game" - is an
ancient board game, perhaps fifteen hundred years old. There are
many legends about how chess came to be. Most of them are folk
tales and are far from reality. Arguably more books have been
written about chess than all the other games combined, but
relatively little has been written about the history of chess. The
topic is difficult; it requires thorough knowledge, and there are
still many unknown historical pitfalls. It is therefore no surprise
that there exist a variety of hypotheses concerning the origin of
chess. In this book, the author, legendary Russian grandmaster Yuri
Averbakh, presents a well-researched and documented theory about
the origins, development and spread of this immensely popular game.
In addition, over three dozen splendid color plates - presented on
coated stock making the images suitable for framing - supplement
his historical analysis.
