The Last Ruy Lopez is a chess book from The House Of Staunton that explores the delight and distress of the royal game.
In this collection of 34 short stories, author Alexis Levitin takes readers on a journey across several continents — and even into space — showing how chess shapes the lives of the people who play it. As Levitin notes in the Introduction, the stories reflect the human dilemma between the elegancies of the mind and the urgings of the blood, between reason and passion.
