The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis (1983)

I have reached page 130, and so far it is all about chess - moves, strategies, openings, chess books, champions. Recommended.

WOW!!!! I, sometimes, struggle with just one.

Isabel Bogdan: der Pfau (the peacock)

The best book I have read in 2020. Funny and deep. And I do hope it will be translated into English for you 🙂
