O knihe

This book at this moment is one of the most profound, rigorous and well-documented investigations ever into the

history of draughts or chess. In this monumental work, around one thousand books dealing with history, bibliography, technical treatises, literature, general culture, etc. were carefully studied and referenced.

The intersection between the games of chess

and draughts was much greater than was first

thought, as the present research demonstrates.

And as could not be otherwise: with the work

and cooperation of one of the all-time great

figures of the history of draughts and a chess

historian specialized in the medieval and renaissance

period and technical bibliography, everything

would out. Indeed, a solid foundation on

which to accommodate a truth that had so

fiercely resisted the light of day. If this were not

the case, without this team work, a lot, and

maybe too much, time would have gone by until

everything would have finally settled into its

rightful place.
