## Description

‘The pieces looked like lifeless soldiers. But in Vishy’s mind, they were alive.’ To everyone else, the chessboard was just black-and-white squares. To Vishy, it was a fantastical world of leaping knights, swooping bishops, shape-shifting pawns and clever queens. With Amma as his opponent, every match was a battle of wits waiting to unfold. Could Vishy outsmart Amma and find the winning move? And could these early games prepare him for the greatest chess stages in the world?
