Title: Insanity, passion and addiction – a year inside the chess world |
|
The book contains about 25 deeply annotated games played by the author in 2014-2015, and in addition, some 25 well annotated games of other players. Included are Gormally’s texts and notes, mainly about the tournaments, where he participated in this period. From the back cover: English chess Grandmaster Danny Gormally finds his life at a crossroads. Bored with Berlin defences, sick of the endless grind of the English chess circuit, he tries his luck on the European scene. In this at times hilarious and tragic account, Gormally shares the inner workings of the chess world — a world riven with insecurities, strange social customs and petty rivalries, while casting his analytical eye even on topics as disparate as eccentric waiters, strange Amsterdam zoos and inspiring mountain passes. It’s a story you won’t want to miss.
