The Queen's Gambit

I haven't read fiction for many years but this book by Walter Trevis is so fascinating I can't put it down. It's a success story of a little orphan girl who learned to play chess by watching the janitor play in the basement of the orphanage. It's a success story that reads like a mystery novel. I suppose you have to love chess as I do to truly appreciate it. I play against the computer at times - keeps me humble.
