Why are football and chess 'beautiful games'?
Do top football coaches read the pitch as a chess player reads the board?
What is the connection between Jose Mourinho's defensive cunning and Grandmaster Wiihelm Steinitz's 'principles of defence'?
The global popularity of football and chess remains unmatched by any other game. In this book, Adam Wells argues that stereotypical views of the games have concealed a deep connection between them. The first study of its kind, this book explores a rich world of tactics, psychology and aesthetics. Structural principles are analysed using real life examples to show how these connections play out on the board and in the field. This book is accessible to fans of either game, including football fans with no previous knowledge of chess. Readers will see how chess can be a pulsating, dynamic game, whilst appreciating that football shares much of the mystery and structural beauty of the world's greatest board game.
