[a:Stefan Zweig|25573|Stefan Zweig|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1190140738p2/25573.jpg]'ın kendime verdiğim sözü tutup lise yıllarından sonra tekrar elime alıp belki biraz daha olgunlaşıp yeniden okumaktan çok keyif aldığım kitabı.

Kitabı okurken hem satrancın sonsuz mantık kuramlarını hem de [a:Arthur Schopenhauer|11682|Arthur Schopenhauer|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1651440776p2/11682.jpg]'ın [b:Hayatın Anlamı|29341670|Hayatın Anlamı|Arthur Schopenhauer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1456450099l/29341670._SX50_.jpg|49577111]'ndan aşina olduğum tecritin bambaşka bir boyutunu hissetmek, farklı bir yüzünü görmek düşündürücüydü.

Nazi Almanyası'nın etkilerini, insanın aklıyla ve aklına oynayabileceği oyunlar ilginizi çekiyorsa mutlaka okumanızı öneririm. O klasik çok düşünmekten delirdi deyiminin bir örneğidir Dr. B.

Superb, my first time reading Stefan Zweig and luckily over the course of 2020 I have picked up lots of his books in Pushkin Press' lockdown sales.

A very fun and moving read on a battle of chess between the World Champion and Dr B, going into detail about Dr B's past.
