Paul Hoffman
As a young man, Paul Hoffman was a brilliant chess player . . . until the pressures of competition drove him to the brink of madness., In ,King's Gambit,, he interweaves a gripping overview of the history of the game and an in-depth look at the state of modern chess into the story of his own attempt to get his game back up to master level -- without losing his mind.
