On a cruise ship bound for Buenos Aires, an electifying encounter takes place between the reigning world chess champion and an unknown passenger. The stranger's diffident manner masks his extraordinary ability to challenge the grandmaster in a game of chess; it also conceals his dark and damaged past, the horror of which emerges as the game unfolds.

Chess Story, also known as The Royal Game, is the Austrian master Stefan Zweig’s final achievement, completed in Brazilian exile and sent off to his American publisher only days before his suicide in 1942. It is the only story in which Zweig looks at Nazism, and he does so with characteristic emphasis on the psychological. Travelers by ship from New York to Buenos Aires find that on board with them is the world champion of chess, an arrogant and unfriendly man. They come together to try their skills against him and are soundly defeated. Then a mysterious passenger steps forward to advise them and their fortunes change. How he came to possess his extraordinary grasp of the game of chess and at what cost lie at the heart of Zweig’s story. This new translation of Chess Story brings out the work’s unusual mixture of high suspense and poignant reflection.

'... a human being, an intellectual human being who constantly bends the entire force of his mind on the ridiculous task of forcing a wooden king into the corner of a wooden board, and does it without going mad!' A group of passengers on a cruise ship challenge the world chess champion to a match. At first, they crumble, until they are helped by whispered advice from a stranger in the crowd - a man who will risk everything to win. Stefan Zweig's acclaimed novella Chess is a disturbing, intensely dramatic depiction of obsession and the price of genius.

An epic chess match on a transatlantic liner unearths a story of persecution and obsession. One of the most perfectly gripping novellas from a master of the form, Stefan Zweig. Chess world champion Mirko Czentovic is travelling on an ocean liner to Buenos Aires. Dull-witted in all but chess, he entertains himself on board by allowing others to challenge him in the game, before beating each of them and taking their money. But there is another passenger with a passion for chess: Dr B, previously driven to insanity during Nazi imprisonment by the chess games in his imagination. But in agreeing to take on Czentovic, what price will Dr B ultimately pay? A moving portrait of one man's madness, A Chess Story is a searing examination of the power of the mind and the evil it can do. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.

Schaaknovelle is een spannend en intrigerend verhaal over een man die zijn poging te overleven in gevangenschap bijna ziet uitmonden in een persoonlijke catastrofe. Een beroemde novelle over de gevaren van eenzaamheid. Tijdens een zeereis duikt de man plotseling op als tegenstander van een groot schaakmeester. Als gevangene van de Gestapo heeft hij zich met behulp van zelfgemaakte stukken tot meesterschaker ontwikkeld. Maar hij is er niet geheel zonder schade vanaf gekomen; hij moet toegeven dat het voortdurende schaken tegen zichzelf een gespletenheid van het bewustzijn heeft veroorzaakt die noodlottige gevolgen had kunnen hebben...

Sensatie in 1955: de Nederlandse Kaasschieter staat op het punt regerend wereldkampioen schaken Botwinnik te onttronen. Hij moet alleen zijn laatste partij in het toernooi van Göteborg nog weten te winnen, maar zijn stoel blijft leeg. Hoe men ook zoekt, hij lijkt van de aardbodem verdwenen te zijn. In deze novelle wordt Kaasschieters schaakcarrière belicht tot aan het moment waarop hij Göteborg ontvlucht. De biografische schets levert verrassende aperçu's op over de schoonheid van het schaakspel, over de betekenis van ruil en offer. Dan komen zijn ouders erachter waarheen Kaasschieter is gevlucht. Met deze novelle treedt Krol in de sporen van Zweig en Nabokov, maar zijn verhaal over het schaken is een onnavolgbare partij met Krolse zetten.
