Description

Despite being 1,500 years old, chess has never been more relevant than it is today. The Chess Revolution explores chess as a cultural phenomenon from its biggest stars and most dramatic moments to the impact of the internet and AI Chess, as it turns out, isn't just one of the greatest games ever devised. It has inspired writers, painters and filmmakers, and was a secret mover behind technical revolutions like artificial intelligence that are transforming society. In The Chess Revolution the acclaimed Chess.com journalist Peter Doggers reveals how computers and the Internet have further strengthened the timeless magic of chess in the digital era, leading to a new peak in popularity and cultural relevance.

Author Biography:

Peter Doggers is an internationally ranked chess player, the Director of News and Events at Chess.com, and, according to the Guardian's Leonard Barden, 'widely regarded as the world's best chess journalist'. During more than fifteen years of covering the royal game, he has interviewed dozens of grandmasters, played basketball with Magnus Carlsen and interviewed Garry Kasparov at Bobby Fischer's grave. He is, in short, one of the best-connected and most well-known people in chess today
