The Study of Wars and the Chess Games

I started the development of this work in 1995, when, inspired by Arnold Toynbee’s masterpiece, "A Study of History," and the book "Future Wars", from Trevor N. Dupuy, I wrote the monograph "A foresight vision for the early twenty-first century, based on the military history of the period 1939-1991, of the warfare evolution in the employment of armed troops", which was presented in 1999 as a doctorate’s thesis. In 2004, I developed the professional work "A Study of Military History of the Korean War", in which I began a layout for the study of military history supported by wargames. In 2005, with the reading of the book "Wargame Design", published by Strategy & Tactics Magazine, I consolidated the matrix ¨A Study of Military History". After reading the book "Japanese and Chinese Chess - the Science and Art of War", I added this new book "The Study of Wars and the Chess Games", relating the fundamentals of the chess games to the principles of the Art and Science of War.
