Stunning News-Da Vinci May Have Written A Chess Book

     For some reason this has not received as much press as it should, but in 2006
a lost treatise that may have chess problems by Leonardo Da Vinci
himself was discovered.
     Luca Pacioli was a close friend of Da Vinci and was the author of "De Ludo
Scacchorum", which is Latin for "On The Game Of Chess".
     It is believed by many that Leonardo was the artist for the chess problems
or at the very least drew the pictures of the chess pieces.
     Considering that Da Vinci lived in the 15th century and there was little
theory but he was one of the greatest geniuses ever makes one wonder what
his chess game was like.

I sure hope Leonardo got the chessboard orientation correct in his drawings...

you should message bat-girl with this and see if she could get an article up.

seems pretty interesting.
