The Thinkers (hardcover)

David Llada (born in Spain in 1978) has always been connected to the chess world, first as a

professional chess journalist, publishing his contributions in all the world’s major chess magazines.

In recent times he has earned a reputation as the chess photographer, working as Official

Photographer at the three most recent Olympiads.

“David Llada’s pictures are full of life, and they are colourful even if black-and-white. Precisely as the

game of chess itself.” – GM Emil Sutovsky, ACP President.
