  Chessays - LUCENA - A mystery after 500 years - by M.C. Romeo
Lucena was one of Ricardo Calvo's favourite chess celebrities, and he devoted great interest and effort to researching his alleged life and work, from the day when he found a facsimile copy dated 1953.
Lucena makes no mention of his printers or printers, and only thanks to typographical research since the early 20th century is it now known that there were two, Lope Sanz and Leonard Hutz; the latter, because of his greater technical experience, must have been the typographer responsible for the firm newly founded in Salamanca.
Lucena is so sure of being identified as a highly reputed chess player that he does not bother to give his full name, but does give that of his father, a high dignitary at Court, ambassador, Council member and Protonotario, which is another credential in favour of the student-chessman of Salamanca.

On June 21, one Pero Luis, who had been brought as a prisoner to the Toledo tribunal along with Tovar in 1530, testified that Tovar and Vergara had begun their secret correspondence while Tovar was being transported to the jail at Toledo (113r).
Later, this witness told Lucena that a certain informacion in Latin, against Castillo, was being sent, and that since Castillo already had been reconciled, it was necessary to his honor that he show himself and not give the appearance of flight.
Lucena replied that Castillo was (very much) better off where he was and that it was true about the reconciliation.

 Chapter 6: Christian Córdoba
Córdoba Cathedral held the lordship of Lucena for a time, apparently without jurisdiction, but under the Catholic Monarchs its only possession was the castle of Toledillo, which was attached to the bishop's household.
The hospital was set up by her executors, her sister Doña Beatriz, who was married to Don Diego López de Haro, the current lord of El Carpio, and Fray Francisco de Sotomayor, formerly guardian of the friary of St Francis, though which house of that name is not specified.
By 1487, he had been replaced by Diego de Medina, and in 1502, Don Luis de Sotomayor, the Franciscan son of the third count of Belalcázar, was appointed by the Crown to this office.

 Chess Guide > Lucena Position
The Lucena position is one of the most famous and important positions in chess endgame theory.
It is named after the Spaniard Luis Ramirez Lucena, although is something of a misnomer, because the position does not in fact appear in his book on chess, Repetición de Amores e Arte de Axedrez (1497).
As it is a known win, endgames sometimes revolve around one player trying to reach the Lucena position and the other trying to prevent it.

According to the dealer, these were compositions by Sor, Mozart, Lucena, and Granados.
