Each chess piece represents a different social role, and the moves of the game illustrate the responsibilities and duties of each class.

This edition offers readers a glimpse into the medieval worldview, reflecting the social structures and moral values of the time.

The Modernized Vienna of the Queen's Gambit Declined
This is a theoretical book about a chess variation that (it could not be otherwise) I will call the Del Rio Variation. It is one of the most fascinating openings that can be played today, leading almost immediately to highly dynamic and complex positions. Additionally, it can be set up quite easily. For example, after 1.d4 Nf6 (1...d5 is another possible move order to reach the same position) 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 (from 1.d4 all of White's moves are the most popular). Then 4...dxc4, establishing the Vienna Variation. Here, White can only fight for an advantage with 5.e4. Until a few years ago, the main lines continued with 5...Bb4 6.Bg5 c5, or the dangerous gambit 6.Bc4!? Nxe4 7.0-0. All of these led to a well-researched ocean of variations where Black had to struggle to maintain equality and generally had few practical chances to win the game. The scenario changes dramatically with 5...b5!? as Black now sets up a complicated, unbalanced game that is also less studied than the other continuations. This partly explains the excellent results that Black has been achieving in practice. It is no surprise that this move has attracted the interest of today's top players, some of whom have adopted it frequently. This book is especially focused on Black's perspective and aims to provide you with all the necessary material to successfully employ this variation. You will find theory, exemplary games, deep analyses, conceptual explanations, and many novel ideas that have yet to see the light of day in practice
Thinkers' Chess Academy with Grandmaster Thomas Luther - Volume 7 by Heinz Brunthaler
From the game's Origins and Arabian Chess to the new Rules.The age and origin of chess is shrouded in mystery and surrounded by legend. It is thought to have originated in India in the 3rd century AD and reached Persia in the 6th century. The game then came to Europe in the 9th century. At that time, the rules of the game were different from those of today, with the exception of the rook and knight. The queen and bishop, which today are long range pieces, could only make short moves and were barely stronger than pawns. The build up of games developed very slowly. Because of this, "pre-prepared" positions were used, known as "tabiyas". The turning point came in the 15th century when the rules were changed to their current form, making the game faster and more dynamic.By today's standards, the games of this time were still quite primitive, with mostly wild attacks. However, techniques and methods were developed that are still used today, such as combinational motifs. The introduction of printing soon made it possible to publish books on chess and thus pass on the knowledge gained to a broader audience. Through the whole book we will see examples of composed positions as well as those from games played during all times.

What Happens When We Play
What Happens When We Play: A Critical Approach to Games User Experience Design & Education brings together research and reflection from both faculty and graduate students involved in University of Sk繹vde's Games User Experience (GUX) Master's program, launched in 2020. The collection shares insights from the new GUX curriculum, which takes a critical-making approach, combining practical projects done in collaboration with game studios, critical cultural theory and history, and design theory and hands-on work in the practice of games user experience design and analysis. The seemingly simple question posed by our title, What Happens When We Play, opens up a range of complex possibilities for inquiry, all of which we argue fall under the purview of contemporary GUX that centers our focus on the player. For example, who do we mean by "we" in our title? Who is playing, and who is left out? Who wishes to join in but cannot, and who may join but chooses not to? Why? In addition, our title opens up questions about the scope of play - when can we be said to be "in" the game? Where does the play experience begin, and end? What happens just before that, and what happens after? This perspective on games and the user experience is intended to stretch the boundaries of the field, encouraging GUX students, researchers, and workers to question both more deeply and broadly as they aim to both understand and create player experience.
