Product description
Chess Queens is a nonfiction chess book by Jennifer Shahade, a two-time US women's chess champion. It follows her travels through the world of competitive chess and the experiences that came with playing in a male-dominated sport.
Shahade shares stories from tournaments in Istanbul and Moscow, along with encounters with players from Zambia to China. The book explores sexism, rivalry, camaraderie, feminism, hope, and the history of top female players that has often been overlooked.
It also profiles pioneers of the game, including the Polgar sisters, glamorous jet setters, and champions who escaped war-torn countries to succeed against the odds. For more chess reading, browse Accessories > Chess Books or compare it with Chess Informant - Issue 57.
