IMMORTAL GAME: A HISTORY OF CHESS by SHENK, DAVID (Paperback - 2007)
ISBN: 9781400034086
Subject: HISTORY (NON-ASIAN)
Publisher: ANCHOR BOOKS US

Why has one game, alone among the thousands of games invented and played throughout human history, not only survived but thrived within every culture it has touched? Nearly everyone has played chess at some point in their lives. Its rules and pieces have served as a metaphor for society, influencing military strategy, mathematics, artificial intelligence, and literature and the arts. In his fascinating examination of chess, Shenk unearths the hidden history of a game that seems so simple yet contains infinity. From its invention somewhere in India around 500 A.D., to its enthusiastic adoption by the Persians and its spread by Islamic warriors, to its crucial importance in the birth of cognitive science and its key role in the aesthetic of modernism in twentieth-century art, to its twenty-first-century importance in the development of artificial intelligence and use as a teaching tool in inner-city America, chess has been a remarkably omnipresent factor in the development of civilization.
