As chess is involved I did alot of skimming over the sentences about the strategies but I did enjoy the author's weaving of the game into the life of the characters involved. I did enjoy the descriptive prose that involved alot of touch and a dreamy quality to it but I did not enjoy the amount which at times brought the story to a screeching halt, often.Reminds me of another book about chess, mysteries, math, and music; [b:The Eight 113310 The Eight (The Eight #1) Katherine Neville https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388263286l/113310.SY75.jpg 268923].
