The Last Ruy Lopez is a collection of 34 short stories by Alexis Levitin, exploring the delight and distress of chess through journeys across several continents — and even into space.
Set against both serious tournament play and casual chess for fun, these stories trace the joy the royal game can bring and its effect on the lives of those who play. As Levitin writes in his Introduction, the tales reflect the human dilemma between the elegancies of the mind and the urgings of the blood, between reason and passion.
