Following the Footsteps of Spanish Chess Master Lucena in ItalyLucena was the son of the prothonotary Juan Ramrez de Lucena, ambassador of the Catholic monarch in Spain. He wrote a book called Repeticin de amores y Arte de Ajedrez con 150 juegos de partido that was published in Salamanca around 1497. Around this time he also wrote another book called Tractado sobre la muerte de Don Diego de Azevedo, but this book was lost.

Lucena was the son of the prothonotary Juan Ram’rez de
Lucena, ambassador of the Catholic monarch in Spain. He
wrote a book called Repetici—n de amores y Arte de Ajedrez
con 150 juegos de partido that was published in Salamanca
around 1497. Around this time he also wrote another book
called Tractado sobre la muerte de Don Diego de Azevedo,
but this book was lost.

One thing is clear - the name Lucena disappeared and we
find it in France in some chess manuscripts and that is all.

This has been our research. Its path has not been easy, but
thanks to a new authorship recognition program it was
possible to detect various books with LucenaÕs marks. This
book reflects the result of four yearsÕ research and describes the possible life and work of Lucena in Italy, where he became a very famous person at the papal curia.
Consequently thanks to this research students have a new
line of investigation about the whereabouts of Lucena for 30
years in Italy at their disposal.

Asurion insurance worth purchasing!
We purchased the above ground pool vacuum from extremepowerUS, great vacuum. We used this pool vacuum for 3 years before it died. We purchased the extra warranty through Asurion when we purchased the vacuum. I contacted Asurion and they sent me a gift card in the amount of my purchase. No questions asked, they made it so easy. Thanks Asurion.

Hassle free experience!
Very impressed by how easy it was to file a claim online. I was expecting a hassle or a run around to make it more work than necessary, to discourage claims, but nope, super simple! I initially thought I would get a replacement product, but instead, they sent an Amazon e-gift card, which was even better, since the price of the product went up from when I originally bought it. With the gift card, I was able to replace it with a cheaper item. Definitely worth the low cost insurance!

Great company I’ve had them before and have been fortunate than I never have to use them, but I enjoy the protection.
