The Curious Chronicles of Chess Thought

This book is not melodramatic! But it might just cover every kind of chess under the sun!

More likely, it’s the most entertaining novel ever written about the full world of chess.

Her father lies in a coma, and a chess manual conceals a spy code: at nineteen, Li Yutong is abandoned as a pawn. Her mentor betrays her, and a chess piece hides a microchip: at twenty-one, Ouyang Qian goes from champion to suspected traitor. Her translation is tampered with, and she faces a staggering lawsuit: at twenty-three, Lü Feifei is publicly humiliated. Bound together by the unfinished spy mission their fathers left behind, the three gifted women use chess as strategy and translation as a weapon. They take on their enemies and crack intelligence codes amid corporate schemes and international espionage, holding fast to justice through crises of trust and tumultuous romances. Every game is a battle for their lives, and every move conceals a storm. You won’t be able to stop reading until the very end-------
