A graphic novel biography following the life of Bobby Fischer, from chess wunderkind and national hero to his eventual spiral into madness and infamyThe life of Bobby Fischer (1943–2008) had many unexpected moves—from his solitary childhood to his stratospheric accomplishments in the world of competitive chess, and eventually, his decent into mental illness and disgrace. Black and White begins in Brooklyn, where Fischer was born and raised by a single mother. By the time he was a teen, he had established himself as a loner and dropped out of school. But none of that mattered; he had found his true calling—chess.In 1972, at age 13, Fischer played what many consider “the game of the century” against the Soviet Union’s chess champion Boris Spassky at the height of the Cold War. A year later, Fischer became the youngest-ever US Chess Champion, and at 15, the game’s youngest grandmaster. Never before had chess received such international attention. Fischer, whose sole focus in life up until then was chess, reached the Olympus of chess at 29, and then . . . he disappeared. Suffering from mental illness, the chess genius became increasingly paranoid, lost in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories—despite the fact that he himself was Jewish—and died as a fugitive in Iceland. With Black and White, author Julian Voloj and illustrator William Wagner have crafted a beautiful and fascinating work that reveals Fischer’s history while also contextualizing his lasting impact on pop culture. Black and White is the first-ever graphic novel to tell Fischer’s story and examine the legacy he left behind.

The Rise and Fall of Bobby Fischer

Black and White

Vladimir Nabokov's early novel is the dazzling story of the coarse, strange yet oddly endearing chess-playing genius Luzhin. Discovering his prodigious gift in boyhood and rising to the rank of International Grandmaster, Luzhin develops a lyrical passion for chess that renders the real world a phantom. As he confronts the fiery, swift-swooping Italian Grandmaster Turati, he brings into play his carefully devised defence. Making masterly play of metaphor and imagery, The Defense is the book that, of his early works, Nabokov felt 'contains and diffuses the greatest warmth'.

How to Win At Chess

Forgotten Genius

Dragoljub Velimirovic was a former Yugoslav - Serbian, chess grandmaster whose international career was handicapped by political intrigues and his outspoken temperament. During the heyday of the USSR as the greatest national chess power, the former Yugoslavia was capable of running the Soviet Union a good second. Dragoljub Velimirovic posed a real threat to the men from Moscow. Velimirovic was born in 1942 to a prominent family from Valjevo, in the former Yugoslavia. He was introduced to chess at the age of seven by his mother, Jovanka Velimirovic, one of Yugoslavia's leading female chess players. He died at the age 72, being one of the last players to develop a system or strategy that is so inventive it bears its creator's name. It is a feat that is unlikely to be repeated in the modern era, when computer-based games and databases so thoroughly dominate competition that it is almost impossible to come up with something new. That does not mean that players were more talented or courageous in the decades when Velimirovic was in his prime. Velimirovic, who became a grandmaster in 1973, was never among the 20 top-ranked players in the world. And that was when there were only 200 or so grandmasters; today, there are about 2,400.

Forgotten Genius - The Life and Games of Grandmaster Dragoljub Velimirovic

Chess has fascinated people for centuries. But what exactly is chess? Is it a sport, a science, or an art? Well, people think differently about that. Some Grandmasters may say it’s a sport, while others think it’s an art.

Despite the individual nature of the game, we have always found it striking that chess is also a social activity. Nowadays, chess is regularly played on the internet, but still more often in social settings such as clubs, tournaments and cafés, making it a unique activity for people of all ages and backgrounds. At the Olympiad, chess players from different countries find common ground because chess has its own international language of pieces, moves and rules. Even in a park, chess can create connections between strangers as they engage in a game together.

Like chess, photos also have the power to connect people across time and distance. Photos capture moments and emotions that transcend language and cultural barriers. They preserve memories and remind us of the beauty and diversity of our world. We believe that in today's digital age, a physical photo book still has the ability to foster a sense of belonging.

Illuminating Chess

2024 marks the centenary of the publication of André Breton's Surrealist Manifesto, and thus the birth of the Surrealist movement. This French language book, whose title derives from the literary magazine Le Grand Jeu, which was published between 1928 and 1930 by a young group of French artists who diverged from the movement, celebrates 100 years of Surrealism through historical retrospection, interpretation, and a contemporary perspective. Themes such as identity, metamorphoses, esotericism, Kabbalah and magic are dealt with, as well as speculation, abstraction and automatism.
 With essays by Paolo Baggi, art historian and curator, Pierre-Henri Foulon, curator of contemporary art at the MCBA in Lausanne, Susan Laxton, photo historian and professor at the University of California in Riverside, and Juri Steiner, director of the MCBA in Lausanne,&nbsp;alongside contributions by the poet Gorge Bataille and the author and curator Boris Bergmann.

'Dark Squares is a powerful memoir and a testimony to why an ancient boardgame still has a place in our modern world. With a home life as troubled as the one Danny Rensch experienced, the complexities of the chessboard were more than a mere distraction. Chess is not life-even a world champion can admit that. But, as in Rensch's case, it can certainly save one. With his work at Chess.com and with this beautiful book, he is well on the way to paying back his debt to our beloved game.' Garry Kasparov, 13th World Chess Champion Great men overcome great obstacles - and I haven't been this inspired by an underdog story in a long time. Taken from his mother, raised in a cult, Danny rose to the very pinnacle of the chess world - and then the business world. A must read. Bobby Hall (aka Logic), #1 New York Times bestselling author of Supermarket 'A fantastic read! Danny Rensch's story is inspiring, fascinating, and at times heartbreaking. His wild ride from a difficult and traumatic childhood to becoming one of the most influential people in the history of chess will keep you turning pages way past bedtime. Compelling and unique, a deep dive into the chess world through the eyes of someone who is at the center of it all!' Ben Mezrich, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires, Bringing Down The House, and Dumb Money 'Dark Squares is a heart-breaking, hilarious, ultimately transcendent story of one man's journey out of chaos and dysfunction. Danny Rensch's vehicle for escape was not anger or hate, but rather finding what he loved - chess - and turning it into his superpower. ' Jeannette Walls, author of the two million copy bestseller The Glass Castle

A memoir of being raised in a cult, from former chess prodify and current chief chess officer at Chess.com.

Before you is the tournament book of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2021. The
event that has been won in sensational fashion by the young Dutch grandmaster
Jorden van Foreest. In a tiebreak in the third blitz game, he was just a bit faster of
his compatriot Anish Giri. The barrage was necessary because both players very
surprisingly ended with the wonderful score of 8½ out of 13 in joint first place. With
this they had left behind, among others, World Champion Magnus Carlsen (7½) and
the number two in the world, Fabiano Caruana (8). An unprecedented achievement, because the tournament in Wijk aan Zee is sometimes called the "Wimbledon of chess" of the elite tournaments. After the last round, in which Van Foreest in a formidable way had left the Swede Nils Grandelius chanceless, it was waiting
for the game between the Spaniard David Antóoacute;n Guijarra and Anish Giri. Our
compatriot was in a bad position, lost perhaps, but he managed to free himself from
the tangled position and gain an important half point. It was decided beforehand
that a tiebreak would be held, consisting of at least two blitz games. Should these
result in a 1-1 score, an Armageddon game would be played. This turned out to be
a nervous and blood-curdling fight, with the pieces flying around. In the end the
younger OF the two, Jorden van Foreest, emerged victorious and thus the young
Groninger booked the greatest success of his still young career. Apart from the
commotion in the Dutch seaside resort of Wijk aan Zee, where the tournament was
held - under strict corona rules – the whole of the Netherlands rose to its feet when
this great result became known. Hadn't we had to wait since 1985, when Jan
Timman won the Hoogovens chess tournament, for a Dutch chess player to stand
on the highest podium? And now it was even two players from this country who
could dispute together who would take the highest honor
