Om denne bog

''Chess is a staggering invention, if indeed it was invented. Maybe it just evolved. It is still evolving, now faster than ever, and Peter Doggers has traced and tracked its never-ending development with wit, vigour and insight. Nothing artificial about his intelligence'' - Sir Tim Rice

''Doggers is an excellent guide . . . The Chess Revolution provides an entertaining and instructive overview of a game in the throes of reinvention'' - Financial Times

Despite being 1,500 years old, chess has never been more relevant than it is today. But how did it become the most prominent game in Western culture?

Chess is arguably the greatest game ever devised. Since ancient times it has inspired writers, painters, mathematicians and scientists alike, and played an instrumental role in technological developments that have transformed society, such as artificial intelligence and the internet.

In The Chess Revolution, the acclaimed Chess.com journalist Peter Doggers explores chess as a cultural phenomenon from its influence on popular culture, the arts and science to its biggest stars and most dramatic moments, culminating in its meteoric rise in the digital age and a new peak in popularity.

Discover how the ''game of kings'' became the king of games.
