The Art of the Game of Chess is the first English translation of Fr. Ruy LÃ³pezâ€™s 1561 book about chess, Libro de la invenciÃ³n liberal y arte del juego del ajedrez. LÃ³pez was a priest who served as King Philip IIâ€™s confessor and royal advisor. As a connoisseur of chess, King Philip II promoted the game in his court, and it did not take long for LÃ³pez to become known as Spainâ€™s and one of Europeâ€™s greatest chess players. LÃ³pez is widely acclaimed as one of the most influential chess thinkers of all time whose theories of chess are an integral part of how chess is played today. Academics, including historians, linguists, sociologists, and Hispanists, as well as non-academics, especially chess enthusiasts, will appreciate this translation, which opens with a Foreword by Andrew Soltis, who is a Grandmaster and a United States Chess Hall of Fame Inductee, and includes a critical introduction and more than 275 footnotes.
