dark reflective tense fast-paced

astute, taut, compulsive. as this novella slowly shifts narratives, you suddenly get caught in the hysterical obsession and loneliness of the narrator. it captures the alienation, longing, and deluded fascinations surrounding the art (and not simply a game) of chess.
