JUDAISM and CHESS - Gustavo Perednik |
 | | In 1837 a French Jew, Aron Alexandre, wrote the first Encyclopedia of Chess, and two years afterwards one of the Haskalah educators, Jacob Einchenbaum, who was also a mathematician, wrote Ha-kerav (the battle) a Hebrew poem on the game almost five hundred lines in length. |
 | | Aron Nimzovitch, Samuel Reshevsky and Akiva Rubinstein were great world masters educated in Yeshivas. |
 | | Talmudic thought is parallel to chess training in seven ways: the indispensability of study, memory, visual comprehension, the centrality and rigidity of law, the importance of debate, the need for bold intelligence, and an antiauthoritarian and original way of raising alternatives. |
