Born in the city of Segorbe, Francesch Vicent (1450–1512) wrote the first treatise on modern chess, Libre dels jochs partits dels schacs en nombre de 100, published in Valencia in 1495. A book of chess openings–and lost since the early nineteenth century–it discussed in particular the moves of the queen and bishops. (M 52771)
