Birth of the Chess Queen: A History | Marilyn Yalom

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
