Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

The Art of the Game of Chess is the first English translation of Fr. Ruy L&&&243;pez&&&8217;s 1561 book about chess, Libro de la invenci&&&243;n liberal y arte del juego del ajedrez. L&&&243;pez was a priest who served as King Philip II&&&8217;s confessor and royal advisor. As a connoisseur of chess, King Philip II promoted the game in his court, and it did not take long for L&&&243;pez to become known as Spain&&&8217;s and one of Europe&&&8217;s greatest chess players.
L&&&243;pez is widely acclaimed as one of the most influential chess thinkers of all time whose theories of chess are an integral part of how chess is played today. Academics, including historians, linguists, sociologists, and Hispanists, as well as non-academics, especially chess enthusiasts, will appreciate this translation, which opens with a Foreword by Andrew Soltis, who is a Grandmaster and a United States Chess Hall of Fame Inductee, and includes a critical introduction and more than 275 footnotes.
