The Genius and the Misery of Chess
En bok om sjakkens unge profiler, både dem som ble helt store spillere og dem som av ulike årsaker ble tidlig borte. Tidsspennet i boka er fra As-Suli på 800-tallet og Greco på 1600-tallet til Karjakin og Carlsen. En av de kanskje mindre kjente, men rørende skjebnene er russiske Mark Stolberg (1922-42) som var et stort løfte, men falt under de brutale krigshandlingene, like før 20-årsdagen sin. Boka er mest historie, og så er hver av de 48 spillerne med ett utvalgt parti hver.
