The Chess Player’s Alice by Ivor Davies
Published by the Clergy Correspondence Chess Club 2017
This softback booklet contains nine articles written by the late Rev Davies on the subject of the chess game played out in Looking Glass. They have been bundled together and published as part of the Chess Club’s Golden Jubilee.
From the back cover:
How can White make thirteen moves to Black’s (Red’s) three? Can White simply ignore a check on his King? What is meant by Queens Castling? Who is the invisible Bishop? These are just some of the questions posed by the chess game that provides the framework of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Questions with which Ivor Davies grapples in this booklet. Can the game be reconciled with the rules of chess at all, or is it just a nonsense-fantasy of the author?
It is available on Amazon, but also via the Club’s own site.
