书籍简介

国际象棋的乐趣在于它的无限可能性。每一步，你都会沉浸在一个充满策略、计算和创造力的世界中。每款游戏都会带来独特的挑战，大限度地考验玩家的智力和直觉。

国际象棋不仅以其战略战术而闻名，也以其华丽优美的棋子而闻名。即使不下棋的人，也常常在家中摆放一套抛光的木制棋子。《图解国际象棋》以简洁易懂的方式介绍了这项至高无上的战略游戏的棋子、经典棋盘和基本走法。

了解斯坦顿棋盘，它是大多数现代国际象棋棋盘的典范；惊叹于刘易斯岛棋子，它为中世纪苏格兰的文化及其更广泛的联系提供了引人入胜的视角；并了解高手如何运用兵来控制棋盘的中心。本书还介绍了一些现代伟大的棋手和经典游戏。《图解国际象棋》采用精美的中国传统装帧，并配有100幅插图和照片，它将吸引所有对世界上历史悠久、流传广泛的游戏之一的物质文化感兴趣的人。

The joy of chess lies in its endless possibilities. With each move, you immerse yourself in a world of strategy, calculation and creativity. Every game presents a unique challenge, testing players’ intellect and intuition to the maximum.

Chess is also known for its ornate and beautiful pieces as much as it is for strategy and tactics. Even many people who don’t play will often display a polished wooden set in their homes. Chess offers a compact, accessible introduction to the pieces, classic sets and basic moves of this supreme game of strategy.

Learn about the Staunton chess pattern, which provides a model for most modern chess sets; marvel at the Isle of Lewis chess pieces, which offer a fascinating insight into the culture and wider connections of medieval Scotland; and understand how skilled players use pawns to control the centre of the board. The book also includes features on some of the great players and classic games of the modern era. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding with 100 illustrations and photographs, Chess will fascinate anyone interested in the material culture of one of the world’s oldest and most widely played games.
