"Chess and Proverbs" is an original work by two Andalusian authors who transferred the everyday wisdom of Spanish proverbs to the world of chess games. It is interesting to observe the application of proverbs in the 43 selected games, chess as a reflection of life.
The selected proverbs have been carefully researched and are complemented by illustrations by the Sevillian painter Diego Neyra, so that the entire work pays homage to "Don Quixote de la Mancha" in the year of its fourth centenary, as it so richly deserves. The everyday wisdom of proverbs, which Cervantes emphasized in his universal novel, returns to the present day, therefore, thanks to this unique chess book of a primarily educational nature.
