♟️Ich dachte ja dass ich diese kurze Novelle in einem Sitting wegsnacken kann aber irgendwie hat mich die Geschichte nicht stark genug mitgerissen. Die Handlung war an sich interessant, aber sie hat leider keine großen Emotionen in mir geweckt. Bei nur 87 Seiten muss mich nun mal alles überzeugen, knapp die erste Hälfte fand ich allerdings so langweilig, dass ich mir wenig bis gar nichts merken konnte.

"my desire to win, to triumph, to defeat myself gradually became a kind of rage, and I was trembling with impatience, for one of my chess selves was always too slow for the other."
