Sinopsis

Inspired by both Daniel DefoeâÇÖs âÇÖA Journal of the Plague YearâÇÖ (1722) and âÇÖThe KingâÇÖ, an anthology of the witty and provocative chess columns of the Dutch Grandmaster, Jan Hein Donner, Ray Keene here collects his thoughts and writings on the year 2020 - both in chess and the wider world. áHis reflections include the impact of Covid-19 on the popularity of chess, the remarkable influence of the Netflix series âÇÖThe QueenâÇÖs GambitâÇÖ, the growing army of teenage Grandmasters, the online pivot of chess competition and the emergence of chess entrepreneurs, such as World Champion Magnus Carlsen and Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura.. Like Donner, Ray uses chess as a metaphor for observations on art, culture and civilisation.á
