Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ya han pasado cuatro años desde la publicación de mi otro libro, en el cual anunciaba que la obra La Propalladia podría haber sido escrita por Juan del Encina. Con esta idea tan fuera de "la realidad", se había iniciado un proceso de revisar todo lo que se creía y se aceptaba como la verdad. La teoría puede darnos una base para los estudios, pero debemos tener cuidado en no caer en la trampa de la teoría; es decir, en no pretender encontrar "otras verdades". Entre tanto parecen ser que los nuevos métodos estilísticos confirman mi hipótesis. Esto es el motivo de escribir este libro para reconfirmar mi punto de vista del año 2009, de que Juan del Encina es el autor de la obra Propalladia.

Download or read book The Spanish Origin of the Checkers and Modern Chess Game Volume III written by Govert Westerveld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-10-18 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1987 we have defended in articles that the Spanish queen Isabella I of Castile (Isabel la Catolica) was the new chess queen (dama) on the chessboard. Other publications were in 1990, 1994, 1997, and 2004. And of course, Marilyn Yalom studied our book during her visit to the National Library in The Hague (Holland) before she wrote Birth of the Chess Queen in 2004. In her book one cannot see that in 1987, 1990, and 1994 we already published material about Isabel la Catolica (Isabel I of Castile) being the new powerful dama or chess queen on the chessboard. In other words we can state here that we have been studying Spanish history and its chess literature for over 30 years. Since 2003 we have also known the development of the new bishop in chess."

Download or read book Woldouby s Biography Extraordinary Senegalese checkers player during his stay in France 1910 1911 written by Govert Westerveld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every checkers player knows about Woldouby's famous position. This 21 year-old Senegalese drew a lot of attention in Paris in 1910 when he won against all challengers in his store located in the Senegalese village of the Exposition of Jardin d'Acclimatation zoologique. No one understood how this player could win all the games that fast. After Amadou Kandie Woldouby was the second African who participated in a checkers tournament in Paris since he became the city champion in 1911. In 1911 he left France and no one knew his whereabouts since then. In this biography we show that Weiss' golpe (shot) actually was Woldouby's golpe, since he won against Isidore Weiss with it. On the other hand we want to show that Woldouby returned to Senegal in 1911 to take the place of a checkers runner-up in 1913. His biography deserves a worthy place in the history of checkers, as he was the prominent predecessor of the famous Senegalese checkers player Baba Sy.

Download or read book Baba Sy the World Champion of 1963 1964 of 10x10 Draughts Volume II written by Govert Westerveld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book should be considered a historical book, as it is the draughts' career of Baba Sy, a prominent Senegalese player. He was able to be the best in the world without reading any books. He had a natural talent and was a self-made man thanks to the game of checkers. I have witnessed the achievements of the great Baba Sy and I have been in the early stage of the great players like Harm Wiersma and Ton Sijbrands, on which I predicted in 1964 that they would be a future world champions. So I know the mentality that one must have to succeed in this mind sport. My 40 year stay in Spain and my research on the Moors permits me to know more about the Islamic custom. And so I am now in a much better position than 40 years ago to comment properly on the life of Baba Sy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luis de Lucena o Luis Ramírez de Lucena son nombres erróneos para nuestro Lucena. Conviene, por lo tanto, proceder con cautela y llamar al autor del incunable salmantino Lucena, tal y como él se presentó, tal y como lo nombraban sus amigos y su enamorada, ficticia o real, y tal vez, sólo tal vez, como se le reconocía en el siglo XVI por varias regiones europeas, como un afamado ajedrecista de único nombre Lucena. Además del incunable salmantino, se conocen cuatro obras relacionables con Lucena, sinónimo de Juan del Encina. La única referencia literaria consta en los índices de lo que fue la biblioteca de Hernando Colón: "Tractado sobre la muerte de don Diego de Azevedo, compuesto por Lucena. Los otros testigos textuales pareables con Lucena son manuscritos de tema ajedrecístico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike.
