About the Book

Chess has fascinated people for centuries. But what exactly is chess? Is it a sport, a science, or an art? Well, people think differently about that. Some Grandmasters may say it's a sport, while others think it's an art. Despite the individual nature of the game, we have always found it striking that chess is also a social activity. Nowadays, chess is regularly played on the internet, but still more often in social settings such as clubs, tournaments and cafes, making it a unique activity for people of all ages and backgrounds. At the Olympiad, chess players from different countries find common ground because chess has its own international language of pieces, moves and rules. Even in a park, chess can create connections between strangers as they engage in a game together. Like chess, photos also have the power to connect people across time and distance. Photos capture moments and emotions that transcend language and cultural barriers. They preserve memories and remind us of the beauty and diversity of our world. We believe that in today's digital age, a physical photo book still has the ability to foster a sense of belonging.

About the Author :
Fred Lucas engaged in various photography assignments for different companies and also operated a small portrait studio. His connection with chess emerged when he, being an amateur chess player at his club, received a request to capture some photos for the club's website. Following the club evening photos, he proceeded to photograph the annual open tournament. What fascinated Fred about chess was its inherent connection to people, which made it an intriguing subject for his photography. In 2004, Fred became the official photographer of the Corus Chess Tournament, a tournament that actually focused more on corporate photography. The emphasis was on capturing behind-the-scenes moments rather than the chess matches themselves. His exceptional work in the field of chess photography gained recognition, and his photographs were published in various international chess magazines. Additionally, prestigious newspapers like The New York Times and the French Le Monde featured his captivating images. He continued to cover several other tournaments in the Netherlands and abroad until retiring from the profession in 2013.
