eiva 's review for:

Chess by Stefan Zweig
3.75

Interesting 2 character types with totally different stories and background, happen to be on a same boat and both being excellent in chess.  As learning chess myself currently, the story really talked with me. But I really enjoyed the psychological idea as well: how this game can be disappointment, life saver, joy, happiness, doom,  obsession, beauty… and how it takes you over if there is you against you. 

Very well written!
