Tales Between
the Squares

64 chess stories and legends

A sage who asks for wheat for every square. A queen who wins a war without anyone dying. An automaton with a man inside. A champion who turns up late, in a tracksuit.

64 stories, as many as there are squares on the board, from the legends of the origins to today. Each one with an illustrated plate, the story, the real games and problems, and a few curiosities. For the whole family to read, whether you play or not.
