the ENDGAME: Chess: Eleven Stories of Suspense (in Sidney Sheldon tradition)

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. Suspense in the tradition of great thrillers, where a game of perfect information becomes the perfect place to hide a lie. From the Author: I love that chess hides nothing on the board - which is exactly why I wanted to write about everything that hides around it. - Manoj Palwe
