Story of Chess & Art

This work is a tribute to the wonderful game of Chess, and also to one of my ancestors. Marcel Berman, my great grand father, was an important figure in the mid XXst centuary Chess world. President of the French Chess Federation (FFE) and vice President of International Chess Federation (FIDE), his best friends were Alexander Alekhine, Mikhail Botvinik and Folke Rogard. Here we are, Marcel, and Arnaud Berman.
