Luis Ramírez De Lucena
Luis Ramírez de Lucena (c. 1465 – c. 1530) was a Spanish chess player who published the first extant chess book. He is believed to be the son of humanist writer and diplomat Juan de Lucena. Book Lucena wrote the oldest surviving printed book on chess, ''Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con CL 50Juegos de Partido'' ("Repetition of Love and the Art of Playing Chess with 150 Games"), published in Salamanca around 1497. The book includes analysis of eleven chess openings but also contains many elementary errors that led chess historian H. J. R. Murray to suggest that it was prepared in a hurry. The book was written when the rules of chess were taking their modern form (see origins of modern chess), and some of the 150 positions in the book are of the old game and some of the new. Fewer than a dozen copies of the book exist. Commentators have suggested that much of the material was copied from Francesc Vicent's now-lost 1495 work ''Libre dels jochs partits dels schacs ...

Lucena Position
The Lucena position is one of the most famous and important positions in chess endgame theory, where one side has a rook and a pawn and the defender has a rook. Karsten Müller said that it may be the most important position in endgame theory. It is fundamental in the rook and pawn versus rook endgame. If the side with the pawn can reach this type of position, they can forcibly win the game. Most rook and pawn versus rook endgames reach either the Lucena position or the Philidor position if played accurately. The side with the pawn will try to reach the Lucena position to win; the other side will try to reach the Philidor position to draw. Rook and any number of pawns endgames, which occur in 8–10% of all games, may simplify to the Lucena position. As it is a known win, the player with the pawn will often try to reach the Lucena position, while the other player will try to prevent it. There is an alternate method for winning this type of position that works only for pawns on th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
