Game of Kings: A Year Among the Oddballs and Geniuses Who Make Up America's Top Highschool Ches S Team Tapa blanda - 2008

de Michael Weinreb

At Brooklyn's prestigious Edward R. Murrow High School, the closest thing to jocks are found on the powerhouse chess team. Weinreb follows the members of the team through an entire season, capturing their eclectic differences as they prepare for the national championship.

Resumen

A year with the boy geniuses of the nation?s top high school chess team, now in paperback with a new afterword

Edward R. Murrow High School has long been one of New York?s public-education success stories, a school where there are no varsity sports, and the closest thing to jocks is found on the powerhouse chess team.

Award-winning sportswriter Michael Weinreb follows the members of the Murrow chess team through an entire season. Weinreb delves into the history of chess in America, following the stories of greats such as Bobby Fischer, for whom the world within the chessboard is as easy to comprehend as the world beyond it is difficult.

Reseñas en medios

'In this thrilling, vigorously reported, deeply empathic book, Michael Weinreb . . . brings to vivid life a contemporary chess world suffused with its own updated version of nerd machismo.'
The New York Times Book Review

'Fascinating. . . . [Game of Kings] does for high school chess what Buzz Bissinger's 1991 bestseller, Friday Night Lights, did for high school football.'
USA Today

'Writing with the deft, propulsive style of a young Frank Deford, Michael Weinreb has captured both the intellectual insanity and the curious normalcy of what it's like to be a teenaged super-genius. [Game of Kings] is theFriday Night Lights of high school chess.'
Chuck Klosterman, author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Chuck Klosterman IV
