Everything about Pietro Carrera totally explained

Pietro Carrera (15731647) was a Sicilian chess player, priest, and author. In his book Il gioco degli scacchi (1617), Carrera wrote about the origins of chess, the giving of odds (for example in pion coiffé handicap), the chess endgame, and blindfold chess. He was noted for a feud in 1634 with Alessandro Salvio after he (Carrera) suggested an improvement to Salvio's analysis of the Abrahams variation.
   He also invented a chess variant on 8x10 board (Carrera's chess), a predecessor of Capablanca chess.
