Pre-order, expected in February 2026. From the preface: ..an unconventional book that presents chess through a lens of humor, wit, and even a touch of tragicomedy..We wanted to offer a fresh perspective on the royal game, filled with jokes, anecdotes, and the remarkable (and sometimes bittersweet) stories of chess legends. Within these pages, you will find fascinating quotes, curious incidents and astonishing moments that have unfolded on the chessboard - and will undoubtedly continue to do so.. Over the years, we have collected these stories with great passion.. The pictures 2 and 3 show the first two pages of the contents.
