Nope, but it looks great... I love books/movies about people driven to insanity, especially from chess. 😀

That's one of the main works of fiction on chess, but surprisingly, I've never read it. I have read Nabakov's "The Luzhin Defense." It was pretty good -- they even made a movie about it (not so good). The main character is sort of an amalgam of Alekhine, Reshevsky and Rubinstein.
