Creators: Liked '... a human being, an intellectual human being who constantly bends the entire force of his mind on the ridiculous task of forcing a wooden king into the corner of a wooden board, and does it without going mad!' A group of passengers on a cruise ship challenge the world chess champion to a match. At first, they crumble, until they are helped by whispered advice from a stranger in the crowd - a man who will risk everything to win. Stefan Zweig's acclaimed novella Chess is a disturbing, intensely dramatic depiction of obsession and the price of genius.
LikedChess is a relatively short novel, so I don't want to give too much away, but it involves chess obviously. these characters are playing chess and it's it's a really interesting meditation on the people that are playing, the game itself, and it also has a little bit of military intrigue into it and how chess as a game, as a strategic game, how it can affect the mind and it's a very, very interesting read.
LovedI'm very excited because so far from this author, I've only read chess. I loved it and I just can I'm just like I think he's going to be an all-time favorite author for me.
What made the match, strongest first
