===Games=== [[File:Alfonso-LJ-27V.jpg|thumb|right|Chess problem#35]] Alfonso also had the ''Libro de ajedrez, dados, y tablas'' (''[[Libro de los juegos|"Libro de los Juegos" (The Book of Games)]]'') translated into Castilian from Arabic and added illustrations with the goal of perfecting the work.<ref>{{Harvcoltxt|Burns|1990}}</ref> It was completed in 1283.<ref>{{Harvcoltxt|Musser Golladay|2007|p=31}}. Although Musser Golladay is not the first to assert that 1283 is the finish date of the ''Libro de Juegos'', the ''a quo'' information compiled in her dissertation consolidates the range of research concerning the initiation and completion dates of the ''Libro de Juegos''.</ref> The Libro de juegos contains an extensive collection of writings on [[chess]], with over 100 [[chess problem]]s and [[chess variant]]s.<ref>Wollesen, Jens T. "Sub specie ludi...: Text and Images in Alfonso El Sabio's Libro de Acedrex, Dados e Tablas", Zeitschrift fΓΌr Kunstgeschichte 53:3, 1990. pp. 277β308.</ref>
