I read this book back in school and have loved it ever since. Should reread.

'Chess Story' is a short read that revolves around a chess game to trigger a much darker story.

The first part of the story was quite technical and boring, but, when the new character was introduced and his story took over, things got more interesting and emotional. The ending was quite emotional as well.
