Isbn: 9798198733152 - the endgame: chess: eleven stories of suspense (in the sidney sheldon tradition) (3 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. About This Book Chess is silence and intellect - two minds, a board, nothing hidden. And yet the quietest game has the most room for the unseen: the engine whispering moves no one can prove were heard, the prodigy pushed past breaking, the title arranged in a back room, the rating quietly rigged. In these eleven stories, women at the margins of the game - an arbiter, a coach, a federation clerk, a scorer of correspondence games - notice the single move that doesn't belong and follow it, not with accusation but with proof patiently assembled.

Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
