This is the autobiography of chess grandmaster and journalist Andy Soltis, one of the very few grandmasters who had a professional career outside of chess, and a prolific author of chess-related nonfiction. It describes how chess and journalism fought for his time for more than 60 years and how he managed to score coups and make blunders in both fields. Among his distinctions: He is the only person to have both interviewed Donald Trump and played chess with (and nearly beat!) Bobby Fischer.
