“José Luis Torrego’s recent work contains delightful stories and immortal games narrated with as much passion and good use of language as Antonio Gude overflows in his wonderful preface.”
 Leontxo Garcia, in “El Pais”, 7/July/2020.
 ...José Luis Torrego's collection of short stories can be read in small sips in one sitting. The prose is elegant, typical of an author whose poetic touch is noticeable. ...At the heart of each story are also fantastical positions, incredible traps, dream studies and pranks that any fan will enjoy.
 Federico Marín Bellón in “ABC”, 8/September/2020
 Four short stories make up this original work that will mark a before and after in chess literature, largely thanks to its historical rigor, its sharp dialogues, and its more than interesting chosen positions.
