The book tells about the life and work of the outstanding French chess player and musician Francois-Andre Danican Philidor, the founder of modern chess theory and one of the creators of comic opera. The materials included in the publication are of both historical and great practical interest. In particular, Philidor's famous textbook "Analysis of the Chess Game," which has been of enduring interest for several centuries, is being fully published in Russian for the first time. The book also contains all the surviving games of the great master, most of which have been re-commented on. Fans of historical adventure literature will be attracted to an excerpt from V. Henkin's novel "The Odyssey of the Chess Automaton," vividly recreating the atmosphere of the chess life in France and England in the second half of the 18th century. For a wide range of chess enthusiasts.
