Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. After a steady stream of inventors, artists, and storytellers tried and failed, a man appeared with a box and a gameboard. So begins the story. The man explains how each piece moves, and why. For example, the king is all-powerful, so he can move in any direction. But because a ruler must be cautious, he can move only one square per turn. he animosity of the kings is so great that they can never occupy adjacent squares, and their importance is such that if a side loses its king, it has lost the war. Each piece is given similar treatment, as are such moves as check, checkmate, castling, and en passant. The highly individualistic illustrations help demonstrate the mechanics of the game explained in the text, and a more conventional board-and -piece icon on each page show that more literal interpretation of the move. Through an illustrated story of the creation of chess, this book provides narratives and visual devices for learning the game and remembering the moves. The Story of Chess will excite and teach children new to the game and will emphasize each piece's importance for those already familiar with the rules. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

couverture souple. Compana General Fabril editora | Buenos Aires 1968 | 20 x 28.50 cm | broché | Seconde édition illustrée. Dos comportant quelques frottements. Ouvrage illustré de dessins d'Horacio Cardo. Rare envoi autographe erronément daté de 1949 et signé de Jorge Luis Borges à son égérie Ema Risso Platero?: «?à Emita, con afecto innumerable.?» * Ema Risso Platero, diplomate uruguayenne, fut peintre, poète, écrivain (elle publia notamment Arquitecturas del insomnio avec un prologue de Borges) et fut l'amie de Michel Foucault. Dans son Emma, karma de Borges, l'écrivain uruguyen Fernando Loustaunau évoque cette relation Borges-Emita et leur dernière rencontre en 1979, à Paris, lorsque l'écrivain argentin y vint pour être décoré de la médaille d'or de l'Académie Française. C'est certainement à cette occasion que Jorge Luis Borges remit cet exemplaire dédicacé à son ancienne muse, envoi autographe qu'il data erronément de 1949 au lieu de 1979 (peut-être en souvenir de leur passé et passions mutuels). | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Second illustrated edition. Spine with some rubbing. Illustrated with drawings by Horacio Cardo. Rare presentation copy erroneously dated 1949 and signed by Jorge Luis Borges to his muse Ema Risso Platero?: «?à Emita, con afecto innumerable.?» * Ema Risso Platero, a Uruguayan diplomat, was also a painter, poet, and writer (notably the author of Arquitecturas del insomnio, with a preface by Borges), and a friend of Michel Foucault. In his book Emma, karma de Borges, the Uruguayan writer Fernando Loustaunau discusses the relationship between Borges and Emita, and their final meeting in 1979 in Paris, when the Argentine writer was in the city to receive the Gold Medal of the Académie Française. It was most likely on this occasion that Jorge Luis Borges presented this signed copy to his former muse, mistakenly dating the inscription 1949 instead of 1979perhaps a nod to their shared past and enduring passions.
