The first kind of link for chess literature are the occasional About Chess articles that have more to do with chess and the arts than chess as a game. These are the sort of thing we leave for your enjoyment when we take a vacation.

The rest fall into various subcategories. As we say in the introduction to the category, 'Chess is more than a game. In many ways the 64 squares mirror the world around them.' We cover the following topics.

• Art : Advertising, graphics, images, photos, drawings, postcards.
• Collecting : There are serious collectors in nearly all of the categories in this list.
• Humor : Jokes, quips, cartoons, etc.
• Literature : Full text of various works, lists of other works which can't be placed on the Web (for copyright reasons).
• Movies : Films where chess plays a major role.
• Music : The best known is 'Chess', the musical by Tim Rice. Don't look here for the Chess record label; that's something we don't cover.
• Postage stamps : And coins, although there are not as many of these.

Along with the Chess record label, a few other chess subjects we don't cover are Chess McCartney, Victoria Chess, chess pie, Mary Chess perfume, chess pottery from the 1950s, the David Chess blog, and Chess United lens filters. Use your favorite search engine to find more about these topics!
