Works

Scachs d'amor

He is one of the authors of Scachs d'amor or Chess of Love, a poem based on a chess game between Francesc de Castellví and Narcís Vinyoles,[3] while Bernat Fenollar comments and establishes the rules.[1][4] It is the first documented game played with the modern rules of chess, at least concerning the moves of the queen and bishop.[4]
