Sobre IBD

This book at this moment is one of the most profound, rigorous and well-documented investigations ever into thehistory of draughts or chess. In this monumental work, around one thousand books dealing with history, bibliography, technical treatises, literature, general culture, etc. were carefully studied and referenced.The intersection between the games of chessand draughts was much greater than was firstthought, as the present research demonstrates.And as could not be otherwise: with the workand cooperation of one of the all-time greatfigures of the history of draughts and a chesshistorian specialized in the medieval and renaissanceperiod and technical bibliography, everythingwould out. Indeed, a solid foundation onwhich to accommodate a truth that had sofiercely resisted the light of day. If this were notthe case, without this team work, a lot, andmaybe too much, time would have gone by untileverything would have finally settled into itsrightful place. 3
