Kunstwerke aus 400 Jahren Schachgeschichte

In Zeiten, in denen nahezu alle jemals gespielten und einigermaßen bedeutsamen Schachpartien auf Knopfdruck digital zur Verfügung stehen, und beliebig verästelte, rechnergenerierte Analysen inklusive weitreichender Kommentare per Mausklick abrufbar sind, schlägt dieses Buch einen anderen Weg ein: den Nachspielenden soll die Ästhetik des königlichen Spiels in überschaubarer Art und Weise vor Augen geführt werden.

Taschenkalender für Schachspieler

Wer und was bewegt die Schachcommunity? Wie wirken sich der Onlineboom und der Krieg in der Ukraine auf die Schachkultur aus? Wie wurde die vor hundert Jahren gegründete FIDE zum Spielball russischer Interessen? Kriegen die Verbände nach der Ramirez-Affäre ihr Sexismusproblem in den Griff? Was verbindet Schach mit Skat?

Schach gespielt wird nicht nur in Wirklichkeit, es wird auch in erfundenen Geschichten gespielt. Literarische Schachpartien gibt es seit vielen Jahrhunderten. Sie haben deutliche Spuren in der europäischen Literatur hinterlassen. Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes stehen fünf literarische Texte, sogenannte Schach-Poeme, die von Schachpartien handeln. Sie werden hier erstmals ausführlich vorgestellt und in ihrem Zusammenhang von einem professionellen Literaturwissenschaftler erklärt. Das Besondere an der Darstellung ist Matthias Aumüllers Versuch, wissenschaftlich seriöse Forschungsergebnisse auf eine auch Nicht-Philologen ansprechende, unterhaltsame Art und Weise zu präsentieren.

The Chess Art of Galina Satonina

Galina Satonina (1905–2000) was the leading chess painter of the Soviet era. A multiple-time Kazan and Tatarstan ladies chess champion, she saw life as a game of chess, and her paintings speak the language of Caissa. She painted world champions and other famous players, ranging from early stars Philidor, Morphy and Anderssen, all the way through to Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov. Several of her paintings depict the chess pieces themselves and emotions felt during play, as well as different aspects of the game such as time-trouble and checkmate.

I like the fact that a publisher has now been found to compile his best stories.
The biggest names pass by: Kasparov, Karpov, Timman, Carlsen, Polgar, Kortchnoi, Anand, Caruana, Giri, Hou Yifan… This is just a sample, all portrayed at a time when they were in the spotlight in one way or another.The power of a good interviewer is that he prepares well. And that is what Gert does. Moreover, he is also conscientious in the elaboration of his stories. He checks facts and calls or emails the interviewee if something is not clear to him or needs explanation. I hope the reader enjoys reading this book.
