Published in Mexico City in 1846, this remarkable piece represents an important milestone for both Mexican and Latin American chess enthusiasts. The image transports us back to the 19th century, where we find ourselves immersed in a world where intellectual pursuits like chess were highly valued.

As we delve deeper into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that its impact extends beyond mere words on paper. It symbolizes a bridge between different cultures and languages, as well as an appreciation for strategic thinking and mental agility across borders. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, games like chess had already captured people's imaginations worldwide.
