From 1996 and on the eve of the Feast of the Patron Duane Sea

students and based on a game of chess.
In fact, the audience attending a play more than the
contemplation of the development of a game, so they do not need to know
chess to understand and enjoy LIVELY AJEDREZ Xabier. The book tells a
different story every year, which is conducted with the presence of a
narrator and two players, a school and a Guest of Honor, who read the
plays of a game contested in the history of Chess.

century "Scachs Poema de amor", "The struggle for life", the chess for
