It has all the beauty of art--and much more.\" --Marcel Duchamp\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough the world knew him as the rule-breaking, gender-bending grandmaster of Dada, French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) considered himself a chess player above all else. He competed nationally and internationally, earned the rank of master, published treatises on strategy and even developed a problem that is still unsolved to this day. For Duchamp, the theory and practice of chess had a significant effect on his artistic practice. He saw the pieces as a kind of alphabet, and their movement around the chessboard created an endless array of poems. In \u003ci\u003eKnight Moves to Remis\u003c\/i\u003e, German art historian Astrid Honold and chess expert Michail Chatzidakis walk through the 315 surviving games that Duchamp is known to have played, providing art historical diagrams and position analysis throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Duchamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3775762272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783775762274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hatje Cantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Marcel Duchamp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997576933631,"sku":"9783775762274","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knight-moves-to-remis-marcel-duchamp-9783775762274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
