First printing
A charming account by the father of a child chess prodigy, in the era of Karpov and Kasparov.
Haunting the chess clubs of Manhattan, Josh and his Dad discover the 7-year-old's gifts and begin to defeat all-comers, ending in a trip to Russia to see the World Championship.
Dominating the book is the mythical figure of Bobby Fischer, the greatest player ever, who mysteriously walked away from the game.
