Literature (fiction and non-fiction)

[KLc]

Can we try to make a thread of interesting chess literature you have read? I am currently reading

1. Atkinson, G. W. (1998). Chess and machine intuition. Intellect Books.

(non-fiction) and therein I found a reference to

2. Leiber, F. (1962). The 64-square madhouse. if, 12(2), 64–100.

(fiction) which was maybe not brilliant but still quite fun to read, especially given that it was written in 1962 (you can find in on archive.org).

Furthermore, recently I read

3. Graff, B. (2020). The Greenbecker Gambit. The Conrad Press.

(fiction) which was quite nice with a Kafkaesque touch.

What interesting literature do you know?

well as for non-fiction, there is an enormous amount, obviously.

As for fiction/thrillers, etc, there's also a respectable list for example"
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/305 ... ed_Fiction
Some made it even into a movie, hey ever heard of the Queens Gambit


and rather unknown novels not even on the above list, eg. this one

here some thrillers (maybe overlap with the goodreads list)

Sounds as though you like literature. If I'm right about this, there's an opportunity for you: write the first computer chess thriller!

Take a look at all the dramas we've seen in CCC (and before that RGCC - link).

* accusations of copying code

* which approach is best (knowledge v depth of search)

* key moments when a new technique gave a boost to results

etc. etc.

Then... turn arguments into physical fights, throw in the odd murder / attempted murder etc.

Turn one of the developers into a female and give her romantic interest / love triangle with other developers (and accusations that she's a conduit for stealing new techniques).

Everything you need for a fresh dramatic novel! Most importantly, it combines two interests of yours (computer chess and literature), so it would also be fun to write!

If you think it would be more invigorating than other things you could do with your time, then here are two words for you: do it. I can't promise it will be a success (though it has originality on its side), but I can promise you'll spend the next year living - and when you realise that your time is drawing to a close, you'll cherish the times when you were truly alive.

Haha, fantastic idea!
