Overview

The Patriarch - the champion, dominating the chess world, a living legend, and the adventurous Magician - a pure genius, engage in one of the most elegant and beautiful displays of intelligence and character - a game of chess. They play for the World Title - a title the Patriarch has been holding for eternity. As the game gradually unfolds, the Patriarch, playing White, is about to get the upper hand. Then suddenly, in a flash of magic, the black pieces ignite an epic attack, later to go down in history as The Storm of The Century. The previously weak black d-pawn takes center stage and marches toward the far row, threatening to become Queen...Based on a true story - game 6 of the first World Chess Championship match between Mikhail Botvinnik and Mikhail Tal, the book interprets the black pieces' feelings, thoughts, aspirations, and fears, as narrated by the heroic black d-pawn. By reading the book, a young player can learn what each piece craves for, its strengths and weaknesses, what is the best place for it, and how to assess the position, while having fun along the way.
