A Fascinating Blend of Chess, Music, and Math
Music and Chess – Apollo Meets Caissa explores the deep and surprising connections between chess, music, and mathematics—three fields known for producing prodigies.
This well-researched book argues that chess is not just a game, but an art form closely linked to both music and math. Legendary players like Mikhail Tal and artists like Duchamp and Schönberg have explored these ideas, though never in such detail.
The book includes chapters on both technical and broader artistic themes, making it accessible to anyone familiar with basic chess rules—no music theory needed.
Packed with chess diagrams, charts, and over 50 full-color images, it invites readers from all backgrounds to enjoy a unique journey through the shared beauty of logic, sound, and strategy.
