Chess Story

this has been so difficult to rate and review since I was so conflicted about what my actual feeling about this book was. In short words, I liked this book but some minor (??) things bugged me a lot namely the practicality of Dr B's chess excellence and the demonstration of his skill in the match. The second thing would be skipping any exploration of Czentovic's character and the things that I really liked the exploration of the aftermath of torture in the theme of chess, the description of Dr B's gradual descent into monomania and ptsd books that have the depiction of war crimes and human suffering occupy a special place in my heart although it's not on my top tier, its certainly on a high place.
