Well-written, Compelling Story

The Crafting of Chess is a wonderfully written, compelling story of a gifted kid called Nate. Nate is a likeable but imperfect, and believable character who captures the reader’s attention from the opening pages. In general, I enjoyed the parts of the book that were set in the real world more than those in the game (there was a bit too much crafting for me), but the story held my attention throughout. In large part, this was due to the well-developed characters and exciting, converging storylines. I liked this book quite a bit more than others I have read in the genre and would recommend it to anyone.
