"I’m delighted to finally see the book being released, the result of a wonderful project which started in December 2022 for me,” said Doggers. “I have written this book for both chess fans who want to learn more about the cultural and technological history of the game, but also very much for non-chess playing readers who want to understand the magic that has surrounded this game for 1,500 years and the reasons behind the new peak in popularity in the digital era.”
According to the author, The Chess Revolution will also introduce people to the beauty of the game. "I always felt that we have so many great stories and anecdotes that deserve to be read or heard by more people," said Doggers in his article about the book. "I do think that chess is a very special game, different from any other game, with a certain intrinsic magic (...) I hope to have put forward what it is that makes chess so special."
