Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life is a memoir by International Master and Chess.com co-founder Danny Rensch. In this “heart-breaking, hilarious, ultimately transcendent” account, he tells the story of surviving an abusive cult and finding a life-changing escape through chess.
Rensch was born into the Church of Immortal Consciousness and grew up under psychological manipulation, physical abuse, and neglect. He recounts being separated from his mother, being mentored by an alcoholic Russian chess master, and discovering chess in the summer of 1995.
The book follows his rise through the chess world, a medical emergency that nearly ended his career, and the path that led him to become the face of Chess.com.
