Bestselling author David Shenk's latest book entitled The Immortal Game: A History of Chess, or How 32 Carved Pieces on a Board Illuminated Our Understanding of War, Art, Science, and the Human Brain, provides the casual chess enthusiast with an interesting non-technical introduction to the history of The Royal Game. It also explores why the game has remained popular for over 1,500 years and how it can help the human brain.
Shenk has also written about and lectures about Alzheimer's Disease. To see his interview with ABC News (4 mins, 15 secs) , click here. (Note: You need to have Google Video installed. You can install it here.)
