More about the book

Reflecting on the tumultuous year of 2020, Ray Keene intertwines his insights on chess with broader societal themes. He explores how the Covid-19 pandemic spurred a surge in chess interest, influenced by the Netflix series 'The Queen's Gambit' and the rise of teenage Grandmasters. Keene also discusses the shift to online competitions and highlights key figures in the chess world, such as Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, using chess as a lens to examine art, culture, and civilization.
