La Historia del Ajedrez Puertorriqueño, Trebejos en movimiento, v 1, is a pioneering work that gathers and presents the fascinating history of chess on the Island. This chronicle traces its origins back to the arrival of the first chessboards on ships coming from Spain, integrating the game’s development — with its highs and lows — from its earliest stages up to the early 1950s. The book, the result of rigorous research, offers readers in a single volume relevant information drawn from articles published by various authors in different sources, organized and grouped into chapters, largely following a chronological order. This structure allows the reader to appreciate the succession of the most significant events related to the game of chess.
