Chess and Other Games Pieces From Islamic Lands

Chess and Other Games Pieces From Islamic Lands, Deborah Freeman Fahid, 344 p.

This book is a true work of art and the most comprehensive description of early chess pieces available. By far the largest part is a presentation and detailed description of chess and other games pieces of the Al-Sabah Collection in Kuwait, but the book is also looking beyond and gives an overview of important early chess pieces in various museums and private collections. The book is both, full of written information on the origins of the depicted artefacts as well as full of wonderful high quality pictures.

The book was published in London in 2018.
