this book really made me feel like i was a professional chess player but realistically i cheat during every chess game i play and use computer-generated hints for every turn

you guys..... this was astounding !!!!!

je l'ai vraiment dévoré et j'ai trop aimé l'histoire. jusqu'à la dernière page je sentais mon cœur battre parce que je voulais qu'elle réussisse, qu'elle gagne, qu'elle s'en sorte.

et même en ne comprenant pas tout aux échecs, j'ai trouvé ça tellement incroyable... puisqu'après tout, ceux-ci ne sont pas au centre du roman même s'ils ont une place importante dans le récit.
tout est en subtilité et très joliment mené. ça me prouve que les modern classics sont vraiment un genre que j'apprécie particulièrement.

franchement, je suis peut-être biased mais c'est devenu un de mes livres préférés (la série aussi) : un de mes nouveaux traits de personnalité <3 (not sorry)

With audio books I usually have a hard time being engaged and giving a good rating but this story kept me engaged through basically it all except for all the men names came a little confusing.  Great story and sweet ending
