Entiendo que la reflexión psicológica puede ser interesante pero se me ha hecho pesado. No ha sido en absoluto para mí, ni la parte de ajedrez me ha gustado leerla ni la parte psicológica me interesaba demasiado

Chess poisoning is real. Beware!♟️

What a bizarre story this was! I quite enjoyed it. I loved the way the game is beautifully described, how our two main players have such interesting backstories, and how the author captures the cluelessness of noobs trying to follow grandmaster level chess. This last one I'm an expert on, being a noob's noob, so it's quite accurate I'll say.

I was a little surprised by how long the backstory of Dr. B was, and the drama playing out internally was a clever choice! I'm still processing this book, but I can definitely say I had fun reading this. If you like chess, this is one you've got to read.
