    Recommended to all book friends who are obsessed with "high IQ games"! The protagonist is egoistic, cold and ruthless! The protagonist of this book is the most interesting "political machine" I have ever seen. Every choice he makes is not a question of good or evil, but a cold and extreme arithmetic of survival - from the manipulated chess piece, to the player who counter-kills the chess player, to sitting at the chess table to formulate the rules. Watching how he uses human weakness as a bargaining chip to turn former companions into variables on the chessboard is an unparalleled pleasure in brainstorming. The plot lines are so tight that every step will make you gasp and marvel.
