Pickpick

Short and to the point, this book examines the prominence of chess throughout history, especially in medieval times. Interestingly, the pieces and the moves ascribed to them have undergone a myriad of changes throughout history. I think this book will appeal to fans of 2020's breakout TV hit “The Queen's Gambit“.

Can anyone recommend any other good chess books?

Happy New Year!

Day 30 of 31: Bookish Pet Peeve. Deckled edges! They're neat and pretty, but it's a pain when turning the page.

Zelma I am so with you! They are pretty but super annoying and useless. 👎 decked edges! 8y
moranadatter I'm not a fan of them either. 8y
brendanmleonard I think there's a charm to them, but only every so often. Though when I see them sometimes I go "ugh why?" Especially on trade paperbacks. 8y
aLmYbNeNr Yes, yes, and yes! And putting them on paperbacks is especially wonky. @Zelma @kmdartist @brendanmleonard 8y
BookNerdBritt Agreed!!! 8y
