The authors have known those who are stirred by the beauty of a sunset, the wording of a poem, or the melody of a song. Keats found beauty in a Grecian urn. The authors have found it in all of these, but found i=t also in the expression of genius which can sometimes flash out in a game of chess. This kind of beauty can be captured and frozen into a lasting cameo, forever challenging each newcomer to un=lock its secret.
