"Chess stories that are as sharp as a mating attack, as cheeky as a knight sacrifice, and as impossible as stalemate"---Paul Hoffman, author of King's Gambit
"A marvelous gathering of literary intrigues...all in the name of chess.Excellent for anyone who has eve picked up a pawn."---Frederick Barthelme, author of Waveland
"Chess and Chess-like games are familiar enough in literature: think Nabokov, Hesse, Zweig, Kawabata. Masters of Technique, gathering the likes of Weinreb, Tower, Carter, and Eggers, proves that serious writers' fascination with the royal game is not just a phenomenon of the past. This is a collection just as well-suited to those who rewad books as to those who read notation."---J.C. Hallman, author of the Chess Artist
