Historiographies of Game Studies
Historiographies of Game Studies offers a first-of-its-kind reflection on how game studies as an academic field has been shaped and sustained. Today, game studies is a thriving field with many dedicated national and international conferences, journals, professional societies, and a strong presence at conferences in disciplines like computer science, communication, media studies, theater, visual arts, popular culture, and others. But, when did game studies start? And what (and who) is at the core or center of game studies? Fields are defined as much by what they are not as by what they are, and their borderlands can be hotly contested spaces.In this anthology, scholars from across the field consider how the boundaries of game studies have been established, codified, contested, and protected, raising critical questions about who and what gets left out of the field. Over more than two dozen chapters and interviews with leading figures, including Espen Aarseth, Kishonna Gray, Henry Jenkins, Lisa Nakamura, Kentaro Matsumoto, Ken McAllister, and Janet Murray, the contributors offer a dazzling array of insightful provocations that address the formation, propagation, and cultivation of game studies, interrogating not only the field's pasts but its potential futures and asking us to think deliberately about how academic fields are collectively built.

Mastering Chess Defense
All chess players know that they need to study tactics, calculation, endgames, and openings, but when it comes to defense, far too many wait until they're under pressure. The truth is that more games are lost because of defensive mistakes than strategic ones. By improving your defense, you could do more for your win rate than perhaps any other area of chess study. Mastering Chess Defense by GM Johan Hellsten is the training program you need to prepare for and defend against attacks, both in the short and long term. Inside are 31 chapters that form a compendium of all the defensive skills you need to learn. Specifically, you'll learn to deflect successfully with material or create counterthreats - as the best defense is a good offense. You will find out how to exploit the back rank as a defensive measure and learn to understand the risks of materialism - to grab material or not to grab? You will find safety on flight squares or find "lifelines" that allow you to escape from the seemingly inescapable. This is the most comprehensive modern book on defensive techniques, with hundreds of instructive examples and dozens of exercises. Strategic mastermind Johan Hellsten teaches you to defend at a master level.
