LOPEZ DE SEGURA, Ruy. Il giuoco de gli scacchi di Rui Lopez, Spagnuolo; nuouamente tradotto in lingua italiana da m. Gio. Domenico Tarsia ...In Venetia, presso Cornelio Arriuabene, 1584In 4to. 201x146 mm. Half boards binding, spine on vellum. Pages [8], 214, [2, Colophon]. Printer’s device on titlepage, woodcut initials and ornaments, Italic and Roman type. Woodcut Chessboard on leaf a4 and several woodcut illustrations depicting chess pieces. Some foxing and occasional browning, sign of humidity on top margin of few leaves. Very rare first and only edition in Italian. It is one of the first great books of chess theory and history, and contributed considerably to the development of the game in Europe by promoting en passant capture which was then ignored in Italy; of notable interest is the first analysis of the "Spanish part" also known as "Ruy López opening". Ruy López de Segura was one of the strongest chess players of the 16th century: in this fundamental treatise he narrates the origin of chess, explains the rules of the game, giving for the first time a complete picture of the openings then known. In 1560 he went to Rome for some commitments related to his status as a clergyman and in the capital of the popes he had the opportunity to challenge some of the strongest Italian chess players, including Leonardo da Cutro, the famous "puttino", at the time credited as one of the strongest in the world. By winning the important challenge against Leonardo da Cutro, he was recognized by his contemporaries as a sort of ante litteram world champion.Olschki: “C’est la seule édition italienne de ce livre extremement rare”.
