The Immortal Game by David Shenk
A History of Chess
A lively, wide-ranging history that uses chess as a lens to explore human intellect, creativity, and the evolution of culture and science; it traces the game’s origins, landmark matches and players, and the development of theory and competition, while examining how chess intersects with politics, psychology, and computing to illuminate what the game reveals about strategy, obsession, and the search for meaning.
