Soon, the chessboard is surrounded with onlookers – and one voice in the crowd will play a key role in the outcome of the match.

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

My delight in playing turned to a lust for playing, my lust for playing into a compulsion to play, a mania, a frenetic fury that filled not only my waking hours but also came to invade my sleep. I could think of nothing but chess, I thought only in chess moves and chess problems . . .
